This FO really seems to make some moves and pick up extra picks. That said are they in a position where they could move a guy like Flynn or some of their current picks to acquire some other picks?
First is Flynn. Now Alex Smith got moved to a KC for their 2nd round pick and a mid round pick. Is Flynn worth a 3rd pick to one of the teams at the at the top half of the draft that could use a QB like the Jags, Raiders, Browns, Cards, Bills and JEts?
Second, could the Hawks not be enamored by anyone in particular in the late first round and trade out of it? The dolpins have 2 2nds and 2 3rds. I know it isn't really accurate but could the Hawks give up their 25th pick worth 720 points for the Dolphins 42nd pick worth 480 and their 77th pick worth 205?
Maybe the hawks hve to give up some or all of their 6th and 7th round picks to make these 2 things happen but if they did their draft order would look like:
2nd-11th and 26th
3rd-10th(using trade with Jets), 15th and 25th
5th-5th and 25th
6th-maybe give up
7th-maybe give up all 3
That is still 8 total picks with all in the 2nd-5th rounds in a draft with very little in the way of elite prospects but with a lot of depth. Then with those picks could we see a draft of:
11th pick in the 2nd-Datone or Short
26th pick in the 2nd-Lemonier
10th pick in the 3rd-swope or Bailey
15th pick in the 3rd-travis kelce
25th pick in the 3rd-Zavier Gooden
26th pick in the 4th-Jordan Mills
5th pick in the 5th-Denard Robinson
25th pick in the 5th-Matt scott
If we have any late round picks maybe pick up a Safety and/or Corner.
To be fair, for the mock part of it I basically looked at Kearly's different mocks and put in some of the guys. This mock is actually near identical to Kearly's what he thinks will happen mock. I just felt some of the guys he put in that mock were going to be off the board at the original draft picks.
Anyways, the point mostly was with this FO anything is possible and they don't seem to follow conventional wisdom. I am hoping for lots of trading around.

The salute is made by joining the index and middle fingers of the right hand (holding the other fingers with the thumb) and touching the extended fingers to the cap visor or forehead. The hand is held the same as for the Cub Scout sign, except the two fingers are together.
The Cub Scout salute is used to salute the flag when in uniform and to show respect to den and pack leaders. It can be used when greeting other Cub Scouts.
The Cub Scout salute is a requirement of the Bobcat Rank.

This year's Sea Otter Classic saw a double win for Team Norco's Jill Kintner, after she took the top spot in both the dual slalom and downhill events. Kintner's weapon of choice for her DH gold was a prototype 650b Norco Sight Carbon. Meanwhile, Aaron Gwin took the win in the men's downhill aboard his Specialized Enduro 29er trail bike.
The fact that all three wheel sizes were pitched against one another made this an iconic race. Despite differences in hoop format, the top 10 male downhill competitors were still only separated by less than two seconds.

2011 Putting On The Foil Hockey Pool Discussion
So a new season is about to begin, and it's time for the discussion about a hockey pool.
So far, Norweigan Oiler has brought up the topic of a "keeper" league. If you are unfamiliar with what a keeper league is, do a google search on that, but it involves keeping part of your roster from year to year.
We also have been discussing a trophy. In this case, we are going to have a virtual trophy, for sure. It will be a pic on the site somewhere (probably in the sidebar) that we'll up date year to year to show the winners. It will be Stanley Cup style in the sense that it will maintain a list of all winners (although it will look completely different). We're also considering a cheap-o prize. Maybe some POTF wear of some sort. But nothing has been decided there just yet. If you have ideas, let me know.
So, who is interested in a keeper pool? How about a standard pool if you don't like keeper pools? Please vote once so we know what kind of interest there is…

The Exorcism of Emily Rose: and ID? — Well, it's not your average pitchfork opera
The Exorcism of Emily Rose begins with SONY corp. warning viewers that the views expressed in the film are not the corporation's.
Diametrically opposite views are expressed in the film, so I suppose we can deduce that the corporation is somewhere in the middle? Or somewhere off to the side? Or nowhere? Or just waiting for the quarterly statement?
My attention was first attracted to Emily Rose because severalcritics had seen fit to link the film to the intelligent design controversy, for reasons that seemed very unclear to me.
The reasons still do seem very unclear to me, but I now have a better idea of what unsettled the critics, and it is worth elucidating, in the interests of understanding the ID controversy.
Excerpt: The brilliant summation scene - easily the best scene in the film in my view - pits the prosecutor, a "man of faith" against the priest's defense lawyer, a "woman of doubts."
But the man's faith is in a Christianity that Jesus Christ would certainly not recognize and the woman's doubts spring from the discovery of ...

"Yeah I will be coming home next Sunday afternoon at 2." I said to my parents during a weekly Skype call. Then as I fell asleep at night it started to hit me, in less than a week and a half I would be going home. It hadn't really been almost three months had it?? It's true, time flies when you are traveling alone and exploring the world, and the final days in Ecuador were no different. While there was a big part of me that was excited to return home and see my family and friends, there was an equally big part of me that would have been just fine staying in Latacunga with the kids. I hoped that the final days would pass by slowly so I could soak it all in, but of course time did not change its pace just for me. I did manage to fit about as much in as humanly possible and was fortunate to retrace my steps and see many friends I had met during the past three months.
It all started with a bus ride back to Quito where I met my host sisters for a trip to the beach! Their Uncle had told us he had a house in Manta we could stay in for free and insisted we take a trip there. I was conflicted because while I wanted to be gracious to the family and see everyone, I had really come into my element in Latacunga with the kids and staff. A day spent taking care of them was more special than laying on a beach. Ultimately, I decided to take the opportunity to see the coast and rest for a few days in order to process some of my thoughts. Again I thought we were headed for a small town on the coast, when in reality Manta was the third largest city in Ecuador. It was the first time I had seen a beach with thousands of people and I felt like I was in a movie. The air was humid, the smell was tropical, and the bus ride to get there was a full semi-sleepless night. We spent three carefree days in Manta, traveled to secluded beaches, and ate some delicious seafood! It was great to see my sisters but I was excited to stroll back through the gates of the Latacunga home.
My final days at the orphanage included many dance parties with the children upstairs, an epic three hour walk with the kids, watching Maycol be reunited with his family, holding a one day old baby in my arms, visiting Elizabeth's flower farm, and witnessing a Volcano erupt. So much happened and it was all so special but every time I try to put it into words, I can't seem to do it justice. This experience abroad truly has changed me and offered me sights I never even imagined last year when I was thinking about interning abroad. Amazing how fast your life can change and how people you met only a month ago now feel like family. As well it has been very cool to intern at three different locations that forced me to build up respect and trust with my co-workers every time. The first week in Latacunga I was hardly trusted to feed a baby (even after I had been doing it for a month in Quito) yet I didn't let this fact bother me and knew respect has to be earned. By the time I left I was handed crying babies all the time. It was oddly fitting that my last night at the home would bring about Estrellita (Little star) a baby who was born less than 24 hours ago. The Tia's handed her to me all swaddled up in a blanket and I truly couldn't believe how small she was. The day I was leaving that part of the world, she was just coming into it. That same night as well also featured Mt. Tunguragua erupting about 40 miles South. It made for a spectacular image and no one was hurt. Apparently this is a pretty normal occurrence and its normally just harmless ash.
My final morning I finished packing my clothes and cleaning my space when I realized I hadn't given the children any warning that I would be leaving. The Tia's all knew, but I hadn't told the kids… Every time I went to town to buy food they would ask if I was leaving for good and I always reassured them I would be coming right back. Maybe I had been so unready to say goodbye to them that I just blocked it from my mind. Whatever the reason, I wasn't very happy with myself. I decided I would be a little late to Quito and took a few extra moments to talk with the kids. The Tia's woke Jose Luis up from his nap so I could say goodbye to him… I had gotten so used to seeing his little face every morning running towards me for a high five that I hadn't truly imagined what it would be like the next morning when I didn't see him. We went in his room and he was already sitting up in his bed smiling at me, I went over and told him a few words and let a few tears go but it was still a happy time. I don't know how much he understood but I hope he knows I will be back to see him one day. I did the same for my loves downstairs and let myself out of the gate. I walked down the empty road through fields and tree's to the bus stop about a mile away with my roll bag behind and my backpack loaded. Another moment where I felt like I was in a movie, one of adventure, good times, lonely times, and the most interesting people. I felt different as I stepped onto the bus and sat down, I was truly torn between home and the place I had come to love but knew in a day's time I would be waking up in my own bed. As the bus started up a rare English song came on the radio, one by Imagine Dragons called, "Its time". If that's not a sign then I don't know what it.

On the road again: CVB celebrate at Starr Hill
It's been awhile since last we saw Camper Van Beethoven take their act on the road. The group have paid their dues on the touring circuit. For those who may be unfamiliar, CVB have long been a national act, although in recent years the band has been absent from the road because members have had conflicting projects.
Originally formed in 1983 by vocalist David Lowery, guitarist Chris Molla, and bassist Victor Krummenacher, CVB made their first mark in California when they brought their unique sound to the west coast punk scene. Although not a punk group, they were offered gigs with bands such as The Dead Kennedys and Butthole Surfers. By drawing together elements of ska, country, tex-mex, and folk, they were able to branch out with their sound and appeal to a wider audience.
In 1985 they recorded their first album, following that with two more full-length records the next year. But it was their third album that was their meal ticket. The self-titled project garnered much critical acclaim and led to national tours with bands such as R.E.M. and 10,000 Maniacs.
Virgin Records picked up the group in 1988. CVB released two albums with the major, but their bid was short lived when the band completely dissolved during a European tour in 1990. Lowery went on to form Cracker, while Victor Kummenacher joined forces with Greg Lisher and Chris Pedersen for three albums as Monks of Doom.
1990 was the last anyone really heard of Camper Van Beethoven until the group resurfaced for a few shows in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles in 2002 to promote the release of "Tusk," a note-for-note cover of the Fleetwood Mac record of the same name. Late last year the band elevated themselves to the prestigious ranks of "artists who can release a box set"– November 2002 saw the release of the limited edition Camper Van Beethoven box set, which includes four previously released albums and a live album.
CVB kick off 2003 with their first legit road outing in over 10 years with a show right here in Charlottesville at Starr Hill Music Hall. The tour is in direct support of the box-set release– so expect to hear the group play long-time favorites such as "Take The Skinheads Bowling," "Sad Lovers Waltz," and "Joe Stalin's Cadillac." It's been a while but it damn sure will be nice to see if these boys from Redlands, California, still have it in them.

Savvy Sistah: Tanisha L. Blakemore
Title: CEO/Designer of Get TWIZTED Tees
Website: www.gettwizted.com
Twitter: @Gettwizted
Facebook: www.facebook.com/gettwizted
In 2007, entrepreneur Tanisha L. Blakemore decided that she no longer wanted to"lye" to herself, so she stopped using relaxers and began to embrace her natural hair. While on her natural hair journey she started to realize how her self-esteem began to skyrocket and she fell in love with her coils, texture and the healthiness of her chemical-free hair.
This new fondness for her natural hair lead Tanisha to search for casual apparel that she could relate to naturally, however she could find known. This void in the market lead to the creation of 'Get Twizted Tees' which consists of original artwork that allows wearers to express themselves with images depicting natural haired beauties and statements promoting kinky, curly, coily, self-love.
Get TWIZTED Tees is the foundation to Tanisha's overall vision to establish awareness to better living. Her long-term vision for the future is to develop a company that offers organic apparel, chemical free hair and nail services, along with a juice bar, and holistic store.
Tanisha L. Blakemore is the CEO and Designer of Get TWIZTED Tees and the Savvy Sistah of the Week!
What inspired you to create inspirational t-shirts for Savvy Sistahs with natural hair?
During my journey I sought out casual apparel that I could relate to naturally, but none to be found. None that really made me feel good about being natural. I came across cookie-cutter designs that lacked originality and failed to convey my passion for being natural. So I thought about what would I like to wear, what would I want to see that would express my love for being natural, something that others could relate to as well!!
You started your own natural hair journey 5 years ago, what lead you to make the decision to go natural?
Well at one point I was in cosmetology school during this time we were studying chemical used in relaxers which was definitely an eye opener. I always wondered what my hair was like in its natural state, so I then decided to take that journey. After 2 attempts I finally decided to have someone cut majority of my hair. Unsure of what the result would be or how to get through this process, I was excited and ready for this journey, ready for the new ME.
What challenges have you faced since you decided to start your own business? How did you overcome them?
The greatest challenge that I think I have faced are the not knowing of what to do. How to run a business, what I needed to be successful, steps I needed to take. Well the Internet has a wealth of information. I did a lot of reading, working with a business advisor through my church, reached out to those that had done it and been successful. It all has been more than helpful. I'm still striving for stability in my business, a place to where I'm comfortable about how things are being ran. I continue to read things like Black Enterprise, INC.com and other periodicals that will give me more knowledge on how to maintain a successful business.
What are your top must-have items for a smooth transition from relaxed to natural hair?
I believe education is first and for most. Reading and learning about the growth of hair and how to keep it healthy, from the inside out. During my transition I wore braids, sew-ins and other extensions until I was comfortable with exposing my own hair. Must have items…Water, Shea butter, Aloe Vera and oils(coconut, jojoba, Castor oil, etc.)
What are your long term goals for the Twizted Tee brand?
I want to establish awareness to better living. My long-term vision for the future is to develop a company that offers organic apparel, chemical free hair and nail services, along with a juice bar, and holistic store. Going natural made me read more about how to take care of myself. The chemicals that are not only in hair products but in our medications and foods as well.
What advice would you give to someone who wanted to start their own t-shirt business?
My advice first would be make sure its something that you love to do. There is nothing more enjoyable than doing something that doesn't feel like a chore, something you dread doing. I say read, read, read. Research what others have done, steps they took to become successful. Also do things that set yourself apart. Ideas that will make you stand out… That's TWIZTED Tees motto: "Dare to Be Different
Why are you a Savvy Sistah?
What makes me a SAVVY SISTAH, hmmmm? Well wanting to be in the know of many things. I'm a very analytical and detailed oriented person, so I'm always seeking an understanding on what's going on. My favorite question is WHY? Asking this leads into so much more. I LOVE learning new things. With all that I learn, my love is also sharing my knowledge with others.
Tanisha L. Blakemore is on a mission to create apparel with images depicting natural haired beauties and statements promoting kinky, curly, coily, self-love and that's why she's the Savvy Sistah of the Week!

But there are even worse news.Today i had a pc freeze on my desktop with openbsd,shut it down with the power button and could not open it.This time i ran fsck(and said i have bad sectors.)It also said to run fsck_ffs but when i do it's duration is small-the time to just press a button-and nothing changes.I think that all my disks right now follow Murphy's Law: "If anything can go wrong, it will".

See the ssh(1) and sshd(8) man pages, if you've never used them before.
More patience, more thoughtfulness, less panic.
OK got it,i'll try to be more analytic from now on.
But in my country we say ; "every obstacle is for good" so i hope when this ends i'll be wiser.
The badblocks test has finally ended;it took 3-4 days( i had to stop it once cause i needed to take the laptop with me) and started it over.
The output of badblocks -w is
badblocks: Unknown code ext2 adding to in-memory bad block list
and above that it has numbers from 857210853 to 857211362.
I can remember that before ending i could see even smaller numbers to the terminal(around 7******** don't remember exactly :/ ) that now cannot be shown to the terminal and cannot copy paste the onces i can see right now.
And the smartctl -a /dev/sdc returns;

The script(1) tool is a wonderful aid to logging what you are doing; I mentioned it to you in one of your other threads the other day. But you have reproduced for us key information from badblocks, and from SMART. And this time, you managed to reproduce for us a complete report from smartctl. Thank you.
It looks to me like the badblocks program was unable to "clear" up bad sectors for you (by having the drive select from spare sectors) when it wrote patterns.
You still have 18 "Pending" sectors, and 16 "Offline uncorrectable" sectors. The latter came during the one-and-only long offline test ever performed on the drive. That test never completed, it was stopped after only 10% of the sectors were inspected.
This failure to clear sectors indicates to me that the drive has no spare sectors remaining. If it were my drive, I would no longer trust it.
If you want a picture of how many bad sectors are actually on that drive, run a long offline test. This will read every sector on the drive. It will take longer than the 255 minutes described in the smartctl report; that is the time it would take if all sectors were working. Retrying bad sectors will extend that time, as the drive will retry and retry and retry each bad sector.
Once the test completes, you can compare your 16 offline uncorrectable sectors now with the number in a new report.
Ooops. That will teach me to read the forum from a phone. I missed the raw values. Pending and offline uncorrectable values are zero. Your drive appears to be "repaired".
One more thing.
Since badblocks had some trouble -- with a 510-sector area (that ended at at sector 857211362) and some other sector sets whose sector numbers you did not capture, I would *still* run a test of the drive electronics (short offline) and of the media (long offline). It is possible that the drive is functioning, but the USB electronics (or your cable) are causing trouble.
If both tests complete without error, you can then consider the enclosure electronics and USB cable to be "suspect." At that point I would swap the drive in the enclosure with a known-good drive, and put the 2TB drive into an internal bay in a desktop or server for additional testing.

Greetings, Pelican Press readers and advertisers.
This edition of the Pelican Press marks the completed transition of the Pelican Press' ownership from Milwaukee-based Journal Community Publishing Group to our company, The Observer Group Inc., locally owned and publisher of the Sarasota Observer, Longboat Observer, East County Observer and Gulf Coast Business Review and the Palm Coast Observer on the east coast of Florida.
Our staff of 75 is excited about the opportunity to build on the Pelican Press' outstanding 40-year tradition of serving this community.
Straight away, you're going to see some changes this week. They are not dramatic, but they no doubt may ruffle longtime Pelican Press readers who have come to view this community newspaper with the same affection as that favorite pair of old shoes — those comfy, trusted shoes that are an everyday part of your life.
Before long, our hope is that you still will feel that way — and then some — about the Pelican Press. That's our challenge.
We're energized to take it on.
One step in that direction is this: We're taking the Pelican Press back to its founding roots — the community newspaper and primary source of news and information about Siesta Key and for Siesta Key residents and business owners.
Those roots go back to March 1971 when a young pharmacist and his wife, John and Elizabeth Davidson, published the first edition of The Key News to the Key, the precursor to the Siesta Key Pelican, which later became what you know today as the Pelican Press.
In their first edition, the Davidsons articulated part of their rationale for starting their six-page, tabloid-size paper:
"Siesta Key can no longer be called a rustic tropic Key just a stone's throw from the city of Sarasota. However, we like to think we are a very special place with a very special brand of people who support the things which add to the quality of life."
Those words still ring true today about Siesta Key and its residents. Little has changed in the 40 years.
And just as the Davidsons filled their little newspaper with folksy, homespun articles that focused on the comings and goings on Siesta Key, we see that as one of our aims as well.
In fact, we see one of our challenges with the Pelican Press similar to that of our sister paper on Longboat Key: to give the Pelican Press the feel, voice and content of a friendly, small-town chronicler of local people and local happenings, while at the same time providing the Pelican Press' smart, accomplished readers with the kind of sophisticated news reporting they deserve.
We believe we can do it. And we will — accurately, professionally, passionately.
Be assured, we are not abandoning one of the trademarks of the Pelican Press over the past 15 to 20 years — that is its award-winning and aggressive, illuminating coverage of Sarasota County and Sarasota city government. We are committed to continuing to serve as a watchdog for taxpayers — in print and online.
To this end, the Pelican Press and Sarasota Observer will share two highly competent government reporters from the Sarasota and Longboat Observer staffs. Robin Roy, city editor for the Sarasota Observer, will serve as county editor for the Pelican and Sarasota Observer, while Kurt Schultheis, city editor at the Longboat Observer the past five years, will cover the city of Sarasota for both papers. Their leader will be Pelican Press Managing Editor Rachel Hackney, who in addition to that role, will continue as the Pelican Press' eyes and ears on Siesta Key.
The Pelican Press and Sarasota Observer also will share the talents of Sarasota Observer staffers, including Community Editor Loren Mayo; Arts & Entertainment Editor Heidi Kurpiela; and Black Tie Editor Molly Schechter. They have anchored the Observers' "Diversions," the arts and entertainment section that the Suburban Newspapers of America recognized last year as the top entertainment section among weeklies in the United States and Canada.
For advertisers, we have combined the sales staffs of the Pelican Press and Observers. If your business needs a professional to help you attract customers, we have the pros to advise you and the design staff to create your message — for print and online.
More important, we have the audience coverage advertisers want to reach. The combined Pelican Press and Sarasota Observer — which is one purchase for advertisers — has a weekly distribution of 30,500 copies in the off season.
If you include the Longboat Observer with the Pelican and Sarasota Observer, the three papers combined have a weekly circulation of 43,000. For comparison, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune's distribution in the same coverage area totals 45,746 on Sundays, 38,850 on weekdays.
If we add in the East County Observer, the Observer Group papers have weekly distribution of 63,000. That tops the Herald-Tribune's 57,452 in the same area.
As we said at the outset, joining forces with the Pelican Press is a great opportunity. We're charged up. Don't hesitate to let us hear how we can do better.
Contact Matt Walsh at [email protected].
When John and Elizabeth Davidson published the first edition of The Key News to the Key, one of the tiny boxed articles on page 5 of the six-page paper said:
Special Notice
"We have our ears to the ground but we may not hear it all, so if you have any news, tidbits about yourself, your friends or the Key, please contact us."
That same message holds true today. Contact Rachel Brown Hackney at the Pelican Press at 349-4949 or email her at [email protected].
• The layout and design of the Pelican Press has been modified to adopt the headline and text fonts used in the Observers. The Observers consistently have been reocognized for their attractive design and readability.
• We have lengthened the paper by an inch and a half to improve visual impact.
• The Pelican Press will continue its tradition of providing aggressive, watchdog coverage of the Sarasota County Commission and Sarasota City Commission. This coverage will be shared and published in the Pelican Press and Sarasota Observer.
• The Pelican also is going back to its roots, re-emphasizing local news, events and people coverage on Siesta Key. If you want to find out what's going on Siesta Key, the Pelican Press will be the most authoritative and trustyworthy source.
• Pelican Press readers also will begin receiving "Diversions," the nationally recognized arts, entertainment and society section published weekly in the Sarasota and Longboat Observers.
• We have upgraded the weekly crossword puzzle.
• The opinion page is shifting its politico-economic philosophy to that of The Observer Group's newspapers, embracing the principals of individual freedom and capitalism and Austrian economics; and the founding principles of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.
• Readers will see some new features and columnists (i.e. cartoonist Jorge Blanco's "The Castaway"), replacing several of the Pelican's previous columnists. Many of the decisions to discontinue columnists were economic.
• The Pelican Press online content and advertising will be integrated into YourObserver.com, judged Florida's best website among weekly newspapers. Any searches for pelicanpressonline.com will be directed to YourObserver.com. Look for the "Siesta Key" button at the top of the page.
• The combined distribution of the Pelican Press and Sarasota Observer will be 31,000 in the off season.
• Prior to this week, the distribution of the Pelican Press and Sarasota Observer almost overlapped 100%, with each distributing between 22,000 and 30,000 papers. The Pelican Press' distribution is being refocused primarily on Siesta Key and in Gulf Gate, with a weekly distribution of 8,500. Almost 6,000 of that will be free home delivery.
• The Sarasota Observer's distribution will total 21,500 weekly. It will be distributed primarily on the mainland, from the Asolo down to Osprey and Casey Key and from the bay east to Interstate 75. About half will be home delivery in selected zip codes, the other half in targeted commercial locations.
• If you would like free delivery of the Sarasota Observer or Pelican Press to your home or business, contact Donna Condon, 941-366-3468. She will determine whether your address is eligible.
• Pelican Press and Sarasota Observer advertisers will get two for one. All advertisements in the Pelican Press also will appear in the Sarasota Observer.
• Altogether, Pelican Press and Sarasota Observer advertisers will reach more than 65,000 readers a week.
• Pelican Press: 349-4949.
• Observer Group headquarters: 366-3468.

Today is a day that will be remembered forever. By me, at least. Tonight will be the first time I ever experience a Mets game in Citi Field and I'm hoping for a dandy. The weather calls for rain starting at 10:00 PM but hopefully, it will remain dry and more importantly, we'll be able to get the W. Come along with me while I live blog my way through the game...
Did I mention this is the first ever Mets-Phillies game in Citi Field? Yeah, no biggy.
Here goes!
7:25 AM: I wake up groggy. "Rain again?", I silently scream inside my head, "you've got to be kidding me!" What made the situation even worse was the fact that it was a Wednesday and every Wednesday night I had to sit through 4 plus hours of college. "Lord, help me," I prayed as I rolled over to sleep some more.
7:31 AM: Bzzzz. Bzzzz. (Silence) Who invented the snooze button? Genuis.
7:32 AM: Bzzzz. Bzzzz. How is my phone alarm ringing again? It's only been a minute. Geez. I look at the screen on my phone; it reads: "The boys are goin to the game tonight, you in?"
8:34 AM: Dang, I dozed. I wipe away the drool from the side of my mouth and respond to my Early-Bird-and-Worm-Eating friend, "The Rangers and Knicks are not in contention. Football is in hibernation. The Yankees are more boring than watching paint dry... Heck, yeah, I'm in. Let's get our Citi on!"
7:45 AM: I hate when that happens. I dreamt a reply. I quickly jot down a response, "you bet I'm coming, let's leave in an hour" and my day begins to look up...
2:21 PM: Just got mustard on a new shirt. Couldn't care less. Nothing can phase me today.
3:15 PM: Mom just made me change my shirt. What the heck? (Right, right, relaxed...)
4:10 PM: 3 hours to game time! Just changed my pants since I wet the originals in excitement.
4:47 PM: I call Simon (for the 4th time) to make sure the tickets are printed out. They remain printed (since the 3rd phone call).
5:11 PM: "Shouldn't we leave? What if there's traffic? Is it the same directions as to Shea? Yeah, it's next door. Focus, Eli, focus." I begin to panic.
6:15 PM: We leave to Citi Field. Hallellujah!
6:19 PM: We go back to the house to get the tickets. A minute later we leave, again. (Play this line over 3 times due to a bathroom being needed, someone forgetting their lucky glove and a moment of OCD where we weren't sure if we locked the door to the house....We did).
6:43 PM: Traffic on the Van Wyck. We're freaking out. A light drizzle begins. Cant. Even. Speak. Properly.
6:53 PM: WeChooseToDo80MphInTheEmergencyLane
7:02 PM: 18 dollars for parking? I guess the recession didn't hit Queens.
7:10 PM: The first pitch from Johan. Our location? Outside. "Where are the other guys? Les'go!"
7:12 PM: The Rotunda, I realize, is just a big room with escalators, a giant "42", and a compilation of Jackie Robinson pictures. Whoopty Woo.
7:13 PM: They're giving out free Mets visors (since it's going to be sunny on a rainy night). Who cares? It's free. This is starting out great already...
7:15 PM: Run to the john. I don't think I ever thought a urinal was something I would admire. I was wrong.
7:19 PM: Just sat down in our seats. There are no cushions. Strike 1 on Citi.
7:26 PM: A guy (with a head the size of Mr. Met) sits down in front of me. He begins to religiously fill out his score sheet. (If there was a nerd alert siren in the new ballpark then it would be ringing LOUDLY right now). He takes out a number 2 eraser.
7:48 PM: Johan just walked Chan Ho Park. I'm not sure if my view is obstructed. Would Johan actually do that? Must be part of his plan.
7:49 PM: It's so hard to pay attention to the game when you're trying to take everything in. (I miss Shea)..
7:53 PM: Okay, I just got really ticked off. It was 2 strikes on a batter with 2 outs in the inning and Santana was a strike away from putting the inning to bed. You think people besides us would stand up? I was hoping to scream, "Corporate guy, down in front", but alas, the circumstance never arose. Shame on the Wine Drinkers.
Here is the moment right before Santana did get the strikeout to end the inning:
Maybe they were all Philly fans? Nah.
7:56 PM: This crowd is quieter than a nursery during nap time. Are we playing at a neutral site? Speaking of that, if the Mets weren't batting in the bottom half of every inning then I wouldn't know it was their home field. Put up a sign, Wilpon!
8:00 PM: The score remains 0-0. Wow, a pitching duel between the two best pitchers in baseball. Or what the Mets make it seem.
8:06 PM: Just called my friend, Wario, on the other side of the park. Oh, I didn't use a phone. I just raised my voice.
8:25 PM: Delgado just caught a foul ball using BOTH of his hands this time. The crowd went wild. Lol. Hysterical. He tipped his hat sarcastically to the crowd. Classic.
8:37 PM: Just met Kevin Burkhardt! I tell him, "Oh, u were up at 4 this morning!" He's like, "Huh?" I yell: "I follow your twitter feed!" Kevin: "LOL, thanks!"
8:38 PM: I run to tell my friends who I met. Mind you, he's about 6"5.
8:39 PM: I wonder to myself how Burkhardt gets his hands to be so soft. How cool that I met him?
8:46 PM: So far the most exciting seconds in the scoreless game was when Mr. Met launched a T-shirt into the sleeping man in front of me. Hits him square in the belly and causes his score sheet to fall into beer. His pencil remains dry.
8:54 PM: Johan Santana just flew out to the warning track. And I thought it was a "Pitcher's Park". (Wink Wink)
9:00 PM: Did Zack Greinke put on a Chan Ho Park jersey and pitch for the Phillies tonight? One hit for each team after 6 innings... Not normal.
9:02 PM: Daniel Murphy just caught a ball at the track. The entire crowd collectively held their breath to see if it would stay in his glove. Even the corporate guys peered over their blackberries to take a look.
9:15 PM: Delgado just scored in slow motion! In what seemed to be about a minute and a half, he ran from first to home to give the Mets a 1-0 lead on the 3rd error of the game by the Phillies. WE GO NUTS.
9:16 PM: We were just on the Jumbotron jumping up and down after Delgado scored. Mmm. Like a kid in an empty candy shop with a sale going on. How sweet it is!
9:34 PM: End of the 8th. Corporate folks have left. It seems much louder now.
9:38 PM: My neck begins to hurt because I need to turn my head to see the scoreboard. The ogre's head in front of me is not helping the situation.
9:40 PM: Going into the top of the 9th, the big screen showed available relievers. One of them? Oliver Perez. That's the first and last time we might see that. He's on the DL with a hurt (right or left?) knee now.
9:46 PM: The Mets win! The Mets win! Jonathan wonders if this will be a Met Classic one day. (Hey, if we got on the Jumbotron then you can bet that it's a classic)...
9:50 PM: Picture time! After 6 failed attempts, we finally get the "Citi Field" in the background.
9:52 PM: I sign autographs for all the fans who hear me on the radio and for the one's who read my blog daily.
9:53 PM: I continue to convince myself that 9:52 was actually real. It was not.
9:57 PM: Citi Security begins to sweep the place for stragglers. I cry to them because someone swiped my visor. Jerks.
10:00 PM: As predicted by Weather.com, it began raining at 10:00 exactly. By then, the Mets are back in the clubhouse with a W in their pocket.
As I sit here tonight, still wearing my Mets cap, I ponder on why the Mets shut the Phillies out, had dominant pitching, and henceforth, won the game. Jerry Manuel did make some nice calls that turned out to look brilliant but it seemed like it was something more that effected the outcome of this game. I start to think that maybe it wasn't something (or someone) on the field that made the difference...maybe their good luck charm sat 21 rows up along the first base side on field level...maybe this someone was all the Mets needed to keep their heads in the game and focus on what is important RIGHT NOW...maybe the Mets don't need an edge....
After all, maybe all the Mets need is...me?

SLS Lifter Scale
The battery-powered, direct-display SLS lifter scale is certified per ISO 13485 and 93/42/EEC as a medical device and can be integrated into existing suspension systems. The SLS lifter scale is available both in a legal-for-trade version approved for medical applications and a non legal-for trade version for private care. Due to its IP54 degree of protection it is optimally protected from humidity. It meets all requirements of the new 2011/65/EU RoHS Directive and thus guarantees that only minimum amounts of lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium VI or certain brominated substances (flame retardants) are used.
Video: Adjusting the SLS Sling Scale
For medical and industrial applications - from weighing of patients to counting
Do your patient lifts come already equipped with a scale? Weighing of patients is becoming increasingly important. Since 2003, European law requires legal-for-trade scales to be used in hospitals when dosing medication based on the patient's weight. The legal-for-trade version of the SLS lifter scale meets these requirements and therefore is particularly suitable for mobile use in medical applications.
However, the industry, too, benefits from SLS. A legal-for-trade SLS can be used for battery-powered measurement of weight and force. The non legal-for-trade version enables a counting function to be activated in addition to the mere weighing of components for consignment and is therefore optimally suited for stock-taking by units.
The legal-for-trade single-range version of the SLS lifter scale offers a maximum capacity of 200 kg at 100 g resolution. Furthermore, a legal-for-trade dual-range version with an additional weighing range up to 320 kg and 200 g resolution is available.
Head start on logistics through verification independent of the place of installation
Do you need legal-for-trade scales for use in different places of installation? Benefit from the logistics advantage resulting from a unique SLS feature! The lifter scale can be adapted to the respective place of installation even after verification and sealing. This enables you to keep a flexible stock of legal-for-trade scales. Provided that adequate training and authorization are ensured, you can enter the local g-factor by yourself prior to delivery.
Further Advantages
- SLS has been tested per OIML R 76 by the German National Metrology Institute (PTB)
- Mounting accessories (threaded bolts, cradle adapter, hooks, ring eyes) are available in different versions and can be easily installed
- High overload stability up to 1 t
- Clear display
- Easy use via two buttons
- Automatic cutoff function, selectable within the time frame of 30 seconds to 10 minutes
- Special filter modes
- Toggling of the weight unit kg/lbs (only with legal-for-trade version)
- Automatic zero on start-up
- Optional EC conformity assessment by the manufacturer (self-verification by the manufacturer).

How Safe Is the Blood Supply in the United States?
October 20, 2006
The U.S. blood supply is among the safest in the world. Nearly all people infected with HIV through blood transfusions received those transfusions before 1985, the year HIV testing began for all donated blood.
The Public Health Service has recommended an approach to blood safety in the United States that includes stringent donor selection practices and the use of screening tests. U.S. blood donations have been screened for antibodies to HIV-1 since March 1985 and HIV-2 since June 1992. The p24 Antigen test was added in 1996. Blood and blood products that test positive for HIV are safely discarded and are not used for transfusions.
The improvement of processing methods for blood products also has reduced the number of infections resulting from the use of these products.
Currently, the risk of infection with HIV in the United States through receiving a blood transfusion or blood products is extremely low and has become progressively lower, even in geographic areas with high HIV prevalence rates.
*This list is subject to change as new blood safety opportunities and requirements emerge. Additional tests may be performed to meet special patient needs.

Quarter Pounder: 1971 Ford BroncoPosted in Project Vehicles on September 1, 1998
If you've seen one Bronco on the rocks, you've seen them all, right? That's what most people assume until they spy Tom Boyd cruise over fullsized boulders with his '71 half-cab Bronco and never lift a tire off the ground. Horse manure, you say? We spent the day with Tom on the famed Sledgehammer Trail and can attest that his Pony keeps its tires planted on terra firma, no matter what.
The key is in a completely redesigned rear suspension combined with a thoughtfully modified front suspension. The rear sits on quarter-elliptical leaf springs. Greg Grosset from Total Performance in Santee, California, designed the rear suspension and committed Tom to the project by ripping all the old stuff from the frame only weeks before the Tierra Del Sol Safari in California earlier this year. Greg constructed a four-link suspension with Heim joints to position the 9-inch rearend. After a few iterations, he found that using a limiting strap attached to the center of the rear axle kept the driveshaft from overextending but didn't limit droop at the tires. The design of the four-link and quarter-elliptical springs allows for plenty of droop and exerts pressure on the drooping tire to add to its traction.
The front suspension was scheduled for revamping, but it has worked so well with the Wild Horses 4-inch lift springs that Tom is now considering extending the radius arms, using Heim joints at the attaching points, and calling it good enough. After seeing the Bronco on the trail, we'd have to agree.
The rest of the Bronco is a mix of well-designed innovations such as a Total Performance custom dashboard, a rollcage with protected mounts for mirrors and auxiliary driving lights, a front bumper with rock rollers, a swing-out dual gas can and spare-tire carrier, and B.C. Broncos 1/4-inch-thick rock skis.

South Dakota Lawmakers Consider Raw Milk Rules
Raw milk is a topic for South Dakota lawmakers this session, and I think I'm happy to not have to make any decisions or set any state policy on this one.
You see, my experience with raw, or "fresh" milk is extremely limited. I know, I know, it has its supporters and its fanatics and that's fine, but hear me out.
When I was a kid, my dad milked a few cows--no more than five, and usually fewer, although the barn on our northern McCook County farm had stanchions for close to 30.
Anyway, one time I was curious about what milk straight from the cow would taste like, so my mother gave me some. I can still remember the size and color of the little glass she put it in.
It was a really small amount, and I tasted it. and that was all I needed. The milk was warm, of course, and while I didn't get sick the memory has stayed with me nearly 60 years later.
So decide whatever you want to, legislators, and drink all you want, raw milk fans, legally or illegally. Whatever you do is fine with me.
I think I'll sit this one out.

The Sniper Elite V2 Community Forum has a post from Rebellion senior management on multiplayer support in the original Sniper Elite, saying this was was switched off by Glu, the third-party now responsible for the shooter's GameSpy multiplayer support. As noted on Slashdot, Glu acquired the GameSpy multiplayer technology from IGN in August of this year (apologies for missing this then -- interestingly, this is not even yet reflected in the Wikipedia), saying at the time: "There will be no disruption in service to GameSpy's current customers and contracts as a result of this acquisition by Glu." Rebellion says that after seven years they will no longer be able to provide multiplayer support, as they are locked in by the current economics of having used the GameSpy middleware:

Le Concert des Nations with Jordi Savall The colorful instrumental ensemble of diverse instruments that was developed in 17th-century France became the standard of the Baroque world. This concert features music by the giants of the French Baroque, from Marin Marais—the 17th century composer whose life story was the subject of Tous les matins du monde, the film for which Jordi Savall provided the soundtrack that propelled him to international celebrity—to18th-century instrumental innovators like François Couperin, Jean-Philippe Rameau, and Jean-Marie Leclair.

It's a unique colour to use in product placement since the white, cyan and black Lumia Windows Phones are generally pushed by mobile operators and retailers.
Microsoft has been promoting hard with multiple product placement deals for the platform, while Nokia has been signing advertisement partnerships with television stations to get the Lumia brand into the living room of millions in the UK alone (and ended up getting into trouble with Ofcom). It appears to be working as we're seeing a slow, but steady, increase in momentum for Windows Phone.
Thanks, @BJForster, for the tip and image!
