MOVIE REVIEW- Out of season: 'Monster House' months too early
The idea of new animated features opening three weeks in a row sounds like three studios made a suicide pact, or Hallmark declared National Animation Month so they could sell cards for it– until you consider the deadline is nearing to release movies and still be able to get the DVDs out for the lucrative Christmas season. That they're virtually writing off a big chunk of potential theatrical income shows where the real money is these days.
First out of the gate is Monster House. (The Ant Bully is next, followed by Barnyard.) It's aimed at a youngish crowd– I'm guessing 7-13 year-olds will be the most appreciative, though parents of those on the younger end may have to explain the puberty jokes.
The worst thing about the timing of the release is that, unless they really rush the DVD out, Monster House won't be available for viewing at the most appropriate time: Halloween season.
This ghost story takes place on Halloween and the day before (which is technically All Hallows Eve Eve). DJ (voiced by Mitchel Musso) maintains surveillance on the haunted-looking house across the street. It belongs to Nebbercracker (Steve Buscemi), a "crochety old dude" rumored to have eaten his wife (Kathleen Turner). He's the typical old fart who chases kids off his lawn, but with a difference: some of the people and objects that light on his property are never seen again.
DJ's parents (Catherine O'Hara, Fred Willard) go out of town for a couple of days leaving DJ with a sitter, Elizabeth (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a punkette who prefers to be called Zee.
Convinced the house across the street is evil, DJ summons his best friend, Chowder (Sam Lerner). Later they get additional help from Jenny (Spencer Locke), a preppy candy pusher both boys develop a crush on. (DJ is "having lots and lots of puberty.") Zee also winds up in a triangle when she loses interest in her old boyfriend, Bones (Jason Lee). He's in a band and meets Skull (Jon Heder), a gamer.
Rounding out the cast are a couple of inept cops (Nick Cannon, Kevin James). Well, have you ever seen ept cops in a comedy? With such hoary plot elements they might have called it Hoar House instead of Monster House.
The house's shtick is somewhat limited. There's the doorway that expands into a giant, jagged mouth with a tongue of carpet that sticks out toward the street, sucking in unwary trespassers. Inside a section of the floor in the entrance hall collapses and comes together again. On the lawn, prehensile grass grabs feet and things. That's pretty scary stuff, too intense for very young children; but by the 20th time these things happen, even the youngest mouths will be opening in a yawn, not a scream.
DJ says the situation is "too much for the adult mind to comprehend," but it really isn't.
Like The Polar Express Monster House uses the motion-capture process. It's not bad, but when computers can create so many textures so realistically, why do they make human flesh look so plastic?
There's a certain amount of artistry involved, but Monster House is obviously the work of business-minded people who think in terms of multimedia. It may not have the makings of a Broadway musical, but there's definitely a videogame in it, and the potential exists for a theme park ride. When that kind of thinking prevails, the movie is bound to suffer.

What habitats are found in the Chesapeake Bay watershed?
There are several different kinds of habitats found in the Bay's watershed. Each one is important to the wildlife survival.
by Lindsay Eney
August 27, 2010
There are several different kinds of habitats found in the Bay's watershed. Each one is important to the survival of the watershed's diverse wildlife. Habitats also play important roles in Bay restoration.
Chesapeake Bay habitats include:
- Forests
- Wetlands
- Streams and rivers
- Shallow waters
- Tidal marshes
- Aquatic reefs
- Open waters
Forests covered approximately 95 percent of the Bay's 64,000-square-mile watershed when Europeans arrived in the 17th century. Now, forests only cover about 58 percent of the watershed.
Forests are important because they provide vital habitat for wildlife. Forests also filter pollution, keeping nearby waterways cleaner. Forests act as huge natural sponges that absorb and slowly release excess stormwater runoff, which often contains harmful pollutants. Forests also absorb airborne nitrogen that might otherwise pollute our land and water.
Wetlands are transitional areas between land and water. There are two general categories of wetlands in the Chesapeake Bay watershed: tidal and non-tidal. Tidal wetlands, found along the Bay's shores, are filled with salt or brackish water when the tide rises. Non-tidal wetlands contain fresh water
Just like forests, wetlands act as important buffers, absorbing and slowing the flow of polluted runoff to the Bay and its tributaries.
Streams and rivers
Streams and rivers not only provide the Chesapeake Bay with its fresh water, they also provide many aquatic species with critical habitat. Fish, invertebrates, amphibians and other wildlife species all depend on the Bay's tributaries for survival.
When the Bay's streams and rivers are in poor health, so is the Bay, and the great array of wildlife it harbors is put in danger.
Shallow waters
Shallow waters are the areas of water from the shoreline to about 10 feet deep. Shallow waters are constantly changing with the tides and weather throughout the year. The shallows support plant life, fish, birds and shellfish.
Tidal marshes
Tidal marshes in the Bay's shallows connect shorelines to forests and wetlands. Marshes and provide food and shelter for the wildlife that lives in the Bay's shallow waters. Freshwater marshes are found in the upper Bay, brackish marshes in the middle Bay and salt marshes in the lower Bay.
Aquatic reefs
Aquatic reefs are solid three-dimensional habitats made up of densely packed oysters. The reefs form when oyster larvae attach to larger oysters at the bottom of the Bay.
Reefs provide habitat and communities for many aquatic species in the Bay, including fish and crabs. The high concentration of oysters in aquatic reefs improve water quality by filtering algae and pollutants from the water.
Open waters
Open waters are beyond the shoreline and the shallows. Aquatic reefs replace underwater bay grasses, which cannot grow where the sunlight cannot penetrate deep waters. Open water provides vital habitat for pelagic fish, birds and invertebrates.
Each of these habitats are vital to the survival of the Chesapeake Bay's many different species of wildlife. It's important to protect and restore habitats to help promote the overall health of the Bay. So do your part to save the Bay by protecting habitats near you – find out how.

With a biscuit recipe that uses gluten free flour, you may have difficulties getting it to rise properly. Not with this recipe, though. It yields beautiful, fluffy biscuits that practically melt in your mouth.
A happy accident a few weeks ago led to yet another change in my gluten free drop biscuits recipe. I ran out of soy flour and added an additional 1/2 c. of cornstarch to make up for the shortfall. The result. . . fluffy, tender biscuits that I would put up against anyone's gluten filled biscuit.
These biscuits freeze really well too. I usually make a batch on Saturday morning, cook 6 for our breakfast and then freeze the remaining 10 biscuits in two pans. These pans eventually find their way into our oven during the week. Just bake for 30 minutes while you get dressed, and breakfast is done.
If drop biscuits are not quite your thing, then you need to try my recipe for cut-out biscuits. It's included in my e-book, The Gluten Free Survival Guide.
Yield: 16 large biscuits

The Cookstown 100 will kick-start the Irish National road racing season next year following confirmation of the 2018 schedule at the MCUI Inter Centre Conference over the weekend.
The Co Tyrone event, held on the 2.1-mile Orritor course, will take place from April 27-28, while the North Armagh Club's Tandragee 100 meeting reverts to its traditional slot a week later from May 4-5 prior to the international North West 200 (May 15-19).
A total of four National races will be held in Northern Ireland, with the addition of the new Enniskillen event added to the calendar on June 29-30, while the Armoy 'Race of Legends' is pencilled in during the final weekend in July.
However, the Mid Antrim 150 – last held in 2016 – will not take place for the second year running.
The news was confirmed at the club's recent Annual General Meeting and the decision was largely expected after poor weather blighted the event last year, resulting in a negative impact on anticipated profits. It is hoped that the race will go ahead in 2019.
John Burrows, who runs the Cookstown B.E. Racing team, said the news was 'massively disappointing' for the Mid Antrim Club.
Former racer Burrows has been a big supporter of the meeting over the years and entered his team at the event in 2016, when English rider Malachi Mitchell-Thomas burst onto the scene, chalking up a treble with wins in both Supersport races and the Open Superbike race as he made his debut between the hedges.
On a terrific day for the Dungannon team, Derek Sheils claimed victory in the feature Superbike race and Burrows hopes the opportunity will arise to return to the Clough meeting in the future.
"It's massively disappointing for the Mid Antrim Club because they put such a big effort into the event in 2016 to get it up and running again," he said.
"They didn't get the weather or the support that they deserved on the day and for everyone involved to pull the race back around and then lose it again is disappointing, and disappointing for road racing in general.
"Hopefully in the future they can turn it around because we had a great day in 2016 as a team and I'd love the chance to go back and support it again," added Burrows.
"If we had the Mid Antrim up running again and then this new race in Fermanagh, then we'd have five rounds for the Ulster Championship and it would be a much better situation for National road racing in Northern Ireland.
"It's no easy task running a road race and fair play to all the clubs for their efforts."
After sitting out this year, the Kells Club is pressing ahead with plans to run its race next season at the end of June, while the Skerries 100, Walderstown and Faugheen meetings will all take place during a busy July along with Armoy.
The Ulster Grand Prix at Dundrod will be the final road race in Northern Ireland (August 7-11), with the East Coast Festival at Killalane scheduled to bring the curtain down on September 8-9.
2018 Irish Road Race Dates
April 27-28 – Cookstown 100
May 4-5 – Tandragee 100
May 15-19 – North West 200
June 23-24 – Kells
June 29-30 – Enniskillen

Eartha M.M. White tells this true life ghost story based on an incident from before the Civil War. The story was told to Eartha White by her mother, Clara White, who was raised in slavery on Amelia Island in Fernandina, Florida.
"Ghost Story"
Download: MP3
More Info: Catalog Record
Eartha M. M. White was a humanitarian, businesswoman and philanthropist from Jacksonville. She created educational opportunities and provided relief to African-Americans in northeastern Florida. White helped found several organizations and institutions, including the Clara White Mission, Mercy Hospital and the Boy's Improvement Club. She was designated as a Great Floridian by the Florida Department of State in the year 2000.
This recording was made in January 1940 as part of the Federal Writers Project. The voice introducing the story is that of Robert Cook. Cook also traveled with Zora Neale Hurston to gather folklife recordings and photographs across the state.
In Florida, the Federal Writers Project was based out of Jacksonville, and directed by historian Carita Doggett Corse. Seven recording expeditions were conducted in the 1930s and '40s in Florida by Alan Lomax, Zora Neale Hurston, Stetson Kennedy, Robert Cook, and others.
The field recordings were made on acetate disks, usually recorded at 78 rpm. The originals are still housed with the Library of Congress.

It's not often that I think the major sports should look to the National Hockey League for advice, but I have to admit Gary Bettman may have stumbled onto something this year with the way he is running his league's All-Star Game.
In case you don't know what I am talking about - and judging by their television ratings you probably don't - the NHL changed the way its teams are selected for the All-Star Game. Instead of it being just the same old Eastern Conference versus Western Conference format, captains were chosen and selected their teams from a pool of pre-chosen players, ala fantasy style.
If anything, the NHL has generated a little interest in an event that otherwise the average sports fan wouldn't have been able to find on their television dial. Let's be honest, people are still going to have trouble finding it (Versus by the way), but at least they might try to locate it now.
I'm sure there are some purists out there who have a problem with the way it is being run. These are also the people, though, who downplayed the impact of the Winter Classic, or for that matter, the microwave.
I don't know. I think it's a great idea and one Major League Baseball should look to implement. Think about it. How many baseball fans participate in fantasy baseball? I'm guessing about 80 per cent of fans 35 and younger are in some sort of fantasy league or have at least taken part in one.
By the way, I have no way to back up that 80-per cent claim. It's just an informal study I did here at the TSN home office in Hatboro, Pennsylvania.
It makes so much sense for baseball. If this style was such a huge hit for the NHL, imagine how big it would be for baseball.
I know MLB has hung its hat on the fact that the game now "counts," meaning the winner gets to host the World Series, but I think we could overlook that for a year. It's ridiculous anyway that a game that features players from losing teams just to fill a quota has any say in what happens in October.
Just go back to having the team with the best record having home-field advantage. This isn't nuclear science, people.
Again, the whole "It Counts" campaign was a good idea for maybe a year, because it was different. Now it is just played out. It's time for something different and a fantasy draft for the MLB All-Star Game would be ideal.
The time is ripe for a change too. Last year's television ratings for the game were the lowest since Nielsen began tracking numbers in 1967.
And if you think the players wouldn't be into this you are wrong. It was actually a pair of former players in Brendan Shanahan and Rob Blake, who drummed up this idea for the NHL.
This isn't something that has to happen every year. Make it a one-time deal. But at least think about it. I know of all the major sports All-Star games, baseball's is probably the most competitive. But, that's not really saying much. It's kind of like being the tallest Ruddick.
Major League Baseball loves to cram Derek Jeter down our throats, so you make him a captain. Make Albert Pujols the other captain and away we go. How fun would it be to watch each captain, especially Jeter, pass up on the opportunity to pick Alex Rodriguez? Is there any doubt he would be the last player chosen?
You know the networks would battle each other for the rights to air that draft. Trust me. It would be a huge deal.
The National Hockey League may not get a lot of things right, but it is right on the money with this format, regardless of how many people will watch in the end.
Bettman has laid the groundwork, now Bud Selig and Major League Baseball need to take this ball and run with it. In the end, aren't these events for the fans anyway?

All India Competition On Innovative Practices And Experiments In Education For Schools And Teacher Education Institutions
The scheme entitled Innovative Practices in School and Teacher Education: All India Competition for NCERT award for school Teachers and Teacher Education was formulated during nineteen sixties and was in vogue till 2005.
National Curriculum Framework 2005 under the heading "Encouraging Innovations" in Chapter 5 entitled "Systemic Reforms" has made the following observations: Individual teachers often explore new ways of transacting the curriculum in addressing the needs of students within their specific classroom context (including constraints of space, large numbers, absence of teaching aids, diversity in the student body, the compulsion of examination, and so on). These efforts, often pragmatic but also creative and ingenious, by and large remain invisible to the school and the larger teaching community, and are usually not valued by teachers themselves. The sharing of teaching experiences and diverse classroom practices can provide opportunities for an academic discourse to develop within school as teachers interact with and learn from each other. This will also encourage new ideas and facilitate innovation and experimentation. How can innovative and creative ways of teaching and learning be encouraged and supported by the system so that they can become a body of practice that can be brought to a stage when they can be built back into the system? For a start, there is a need to create structured spaces within schools, and at the level of the cluster and block where teachers are encouraged to share and discuss classroom practices and experiences. If seen as worthwhile, some of these ideas and practices can be systemically followed up. It is also important to bring together groups of teachers within and across schools and provide support to them in terms of resources as well as time to work together. There is also, a need for documentation and research of identified good practices i(5.5.2).
As a follow-up of field interaction, expert group meetings and observations of NCF 2005, the old scheme was reviewed. On the basis of feedback received from the teachers, headmasters and experts, the following in-built obstacles in the system of school education and teacher education were identified in the way of sustaining innovations and innovative ideas in the system for a longer period.

Mindset-driven strategic change and executional agility in Solar A/SNielsen, Rikke Kristine (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper explores the practical and theoretical avenues for working with mindset as a strategic lever and method of securing business strategy executional agility. Taking the mindset development aspirations of Solar A/S as point of departure, the building up of a collective mindset conducive to strategy execution is explored as a method of securing implementation of business strategy. Reflecting the strategic priorities and internationalization process of the case study organization, the concept of global mindset is activated as an avenue of exploration (Chatterjee, 2005; Levy et al., 2007; Dekker et al; 2005; Bowen & Inkpen, 2009; Gupta & Govindarajan, 2002). A global mindset is the cognitive ability (of managers) to be open towards and navigating, integrating and mediating between multiple cultural and strategic realities on both global and local levels mirroring the Solar notion of group mindset supporting business strategy. It is argued that a knowledge gap exist with regards to creation and change of mindset in connection with strategy execution. Concepts of organizational learning are put forward as a possible point of entrance to mindset change. The paper is informed by the exploratory data from the initial phase of an ongoing industrial Ph.D.- project in Solar A/S with the working title "A mindset for strategy execution -mindset-driven leadership development and strategic performance."

Process Models and Advanced Services Offshoring to IndiaØrberg Jensen, Peter D. (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper addresses a recent strand of offshoring research that concerns the processes of evolution and change that appear in offshoring partnerships after the launch of offshoring operations. Based on longitudinal case studies of offshoring of advanced IT and engineering services from Danish firms to Indian firms, I identify a process model with three stages that captures the evolution of the initial 1-2 years of the offshoring partnership. Overall, the data portray a rapid development of the Danish-Indian offshoring partnerships which show that once trust is established and offshoring firms gain experience, the offshoring firms will increase the sophistication as well as expand the range and volume of advanced work done offshore. The dynamics of the process therefore suggest that at a broader scale, advanced services offshoring will increase in the coming years. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8946

To confer, give, or bestow. A gift of legal rights or privileges, or a recognition of asserted rights, as in treaty.
In the law of property, the term grant can be used in a deed to convey land, regardless of the number and types of rights conferred or the promises made by the transferor to the transferee. It is a comprehensive term that encompasses more specific words of transfer, such as assign, bargain, and devise.
A public land grant is a conveyance of ownership or other rights and privileges in publicly owned property to members of the general public who come under the qualifications of the statute that makes the land available. Such a grant is ordinarily noted in a public record, such as a charter or patent. In order to properly trace the ownership of property, it is sometimes necessary to determine each successive owner following the first grant.
A private grant is a grant of public land by a public official to a private individual as a type of reward or prize.
v. to transfer real property from a title holder (grantor) or holders to another (grantee) with or without payment. However, there is an important difference between the types of deeds used. A grant deed warrants (guarantees) that the grantor (seller) has full right and title to the property, while a quit claim deed only grants whatever the grantor owns (which may be nothing) and guarantees nothing. (See: grantee, grantor, grant deed)

Quando aliquis aliquid concedit, connedere videtur et id sine quo res uti non potest. When anyone grants anything, he is deemed to grant also that without which the thing cannot be used. Quod sub certa forma concessum vel reservatum est non trahitur ad vallrem vel compensationem. That which is granted or reeerved under a certain form cannot be twisted into a valuution or compensation. Qui concedit aliquid concedit omne id sine quo concessio est irrita. He who grants anyyhing is considered to grant everything without which the grant is worthless. A gratia. By grace, not by right. Cuicunque aliquis quid concedit concedere videtur et id, sine quo res ipsa esse non potuit. Whoever grants a thing is presumed also to grant that without which the grant of the thing itself would be of no use. Quaelibet connessio fortissime contra donatorem interpretanda est.

GRANT, conveyancing, concessio. Technically speaking, grants are applicable
to the conveyance of incorporeal rights, though in the largest sense, the
term comprehends everything that is granted or passed from one to another,
and is applied to every species of property. Grant is one of the usual words
in a feoffment, and differs but little except in the subject-matter; for the
operative words used in grants are dedi et concessi, "have given and
2. Incorporeal rights are said to lie in grant and not in livery, for existing only in idea, in contemplation of law, they cannot be transferred by livery of possession; of course at common law, a conveyance in writing was necessary, hence they are said to be in grant, and to pass by the delivery of the deed.
3. To render the grant effectual, the common law required the consent of the tenant of the land out of which the rent, or other incorporeal interest proceeded; and this was called attornment. (q. v.) It arose from the intimate alliance between the lord and vassal existing under the feudal tenures., The tenant could not alien the feud without the consent of the lord, nor the lord part with his seigniory without the consent of the tenant. The necessity of attornment has been abolished in the United States. 4 Kent, Com. 479. He who makes the grant is called the grantor, and he to whom it is made the grantee. Vide Com. Dig. h. t.; 14 Vin. Ab. 27; Bac. Ab. h. t. 4 Kent, Com. 477; 2 Bl. Com. 317, 440; Perk. ch. 1; Touchs. c. 12; 8 Cowen's R. 36.
4. By the word grant, in a treaty, is meant not only a formal grant, but any concession, warrant, order, or permission to survey, possess or settle; whether written or parol, express, or presumed from possession. Such a grant may be made by law, as well as by a patent pursuant to a law., 12 Pet. R. 410. See, generally, 9 A. & E. 532; 5 Mass. 472; 9 Pick. 80.

These words do not amount to a general warranty, but merely to a covenant that the grantor has not done any acts nor created any, encumbrance, by which the estate may be defeated. 2 Binn.

Ok, I don't have much more than that at the moment, but, hello all.
I'm re-exploring coding and Java has always intrigued me.
It's been many years, and I was never very advanced, but I coded in html and some action script
(Flash) a bit so I'm hoping with the help here and (memory of) some of those concepts will help me turn this bicycle crank enough to get my JavaBike rolling.
Cheers and TIA for being here.

Reposted from BI Intelligence, important changes to Adwords, especially for those of us who care about exclusively targeting mobile PPC with Adwords.
Google just announced that it is "enhancing" and "upgrading" AdWords for a world where people increasingly use mobile devices.
The changes will take place by the middle of this year.
In fact, Google is eliminating some ad-targeting capabilities — in particular, the ability to target specific mobile devices like tablets.
In addition, it won't be possible to run strictly mobile-only campaigns in the future. Instead, all campaigns will run on both desktop and mobile, according to a weighting factor set by advertisers. (You can weight desktop or mobile ads very low or very high, but there's no option for true mobile-only campaigns.)
Google will "upgrade" campaigns previously created as mobile- or desktop-only to run across all devices.
Why is Google doing this? Wall Street is intensely focused on the gap between Google's desktop cost-per-click metric and the comparable numbers for mobile ads.
In Google's fourth-quarter earnings call, CEO Larry Page expressed a bit of frustration with questions about mobile cost-per-click numbers, saying that efforts to "simplify" Google's ad system would lead to improvements in that number.
In fact, the gap between thecost-per-click metrics may soon go away, as a result of this change.
"On average, they'll be the same as desktop CPCs after the auto-upgrade rolls out due to increased advertiser competition and all of the auto-set mobile bid adjustment factors," wrote Larry Kim, the founder and CTO of Internet marketing-software company WordStream, in a blog post.
Daina Middleton, the CEO of Performics, said that advertisers should expect prices to increase about three percent as Google rolls out the changes.
Google's revenues will see a similar benefit.
"If Google weren't in such a strong position, it would never get away with this," Richard Zwicky, the CEO of Blueglass, a marketing-software provider and digital agency, told Business Insider. Because of its dominant share of online advertising, it's likely that others will follow Google's moves, he said.
Advertisers should download all the data they have about the performance of ads across devices now, Zwicky recommended, because he believes that that level of detail won't be available after Google's changes.
(A Google spokesperson told us Zwicky is mistaken: Google isn't changing its reporting about device types.)
Kim said that Google's changes may push many smaller advertisers into mobile advertising for the first time.
"It's just different and less transparent," Zwicky said.
Update: We asked Google to comment on the changes. Here's what a spokesperson told us:
Marketers will still see the same reports for mobile (CPC, CTR, etc.) and they'll actually get more reports to show how effectively mobile is driving conversions like calls and app downloads so they can compare ROI. They can also use mobile-preferred ads and extensions to control the message in their mobile ads, just now without them having to break out hundreds of separate campaigns. If they value mobile more, they can set a lower base bid and then crank up the mobile bid adjustment so that they're bidding higher for mobile searches.
That doesn't contradict anything online marketers are saying about this change. In fact, getting advertisers to bid higher for mobile searches—and convincing them that there's a return on investment from mobile ads—seems like the whole point.
We've also clarified some of the language we used to describe how campaigns are weighted and how results are reported.

No Holds Barred: Undertaker vs Triple H
Triple H gets an awesome entrance with Metallica's For Whom The Bell Tolls playing and soldiers carrying shields leading him out to the stage, and then the lights go out and flip over to his standard entrance music as he comes to the ring, and then Undertaker gets an extended entrance with the usual Wrestlemania theatrics. The bell rings and Triple H takes Undertaker right to the corner and goes right after him with several jabs, but Undertaker just grabs Triple H and launches him over the top rope to the floor. They start brawling on the floor and Undertaker rams Triple H into the steps, then stars taking everything off the Spanish announce table to put Hunter through it in true Attitude Era fashion, but Triple H recovers and tackles Undertaker THROUGH the Colemine. Undertaker comes back in the ring and hits the flying clothesline, then goes up for the old school but Hunter yanks Undertaker off and he hits hard in the ring. Triple H clotheslines Undertaker to the floor, then goes out and rams Undertaker into the barricade. Hunter rams Undertaker into the announce table and goes for the Pedigree, Undertaker breaks out and goes for a chokeslam, Hunter kicks him and goes for the Pedigree again, and Undertaker backdrops Hunter to the floor! Yikes, that didn't look pleasant. Undertaker slowly crawls back into the ring and hits a running dive over the top and looks like he nearly killed himself on the landing. Undertaker drags the ring steps away from the ring and rams Triple H into them and then goes for a Tombstone on the steps, but Hunter slips out and shoves Undertaker off the steps. Undertaker took a run at Hunter but Hunter caught him and hit a spinebuster off the steps and through the Spanish announce table in another nasty spot.
Hunter rolls Undertaker back into the ring and Undertaker looks like he's in bad shape. Hunter comes after him and Undertaker catches him and hits a chokeslam and covers for a VERY close 2. Undertaker goes for the Last Ride but Triple H rams him into the corner and drives his shoulder into Undertaker's midsection. Triple H goes up for punches in the corner and Undertaker goes for the Last Ride out of the corner, Hunter slips out and goes for the Pedigree, Undertaker escapes and tries a snake eyes, Triple H slips out of that and hits another spinebuster for 2. Hunter goes outside and grabs a chair and goes after Undertaker with it, but Undertaker boots him in the face and he drops the chair. Undertaker gets the chair and cracks Triple H across the back with it, then goes for another chairshot but Triple H kicks Undertaker and hits the Pedigree...for 2! Hunter goes up for punches in the corner and this time Undertaker hits the Last Ride...and only gets 2! Undertaker gets up and looks angry, but does the throat slash motion and picks Triple H up for the Tombstone. Undertaker hits it...and only gets 2! Undertaker gets the chair again and sets it in the middle of the ring and picks Triple H back up. Undertaker gets him back in Tombstone position but Triple H slips out and hits a DDT on the chair. Both men pull themselves back to their feet with much effort and Triple H hits another Pedigree for a VERY close 2. Hunter slowly gets back to his feet and hits another Pedigree and STILL only gets 2.
Hunter has a "what do I need to do" look on his face, and grabs the chair. He cracks the chair over Undertaker's back, bending it, then nails him again. Hunter yells at Undertaker to stay down then nails him over and over with the chair until he physically collapses from exhaustion. Hunter crawls across the ring, but Undertaker is still moving. Hunter yells at him again to stay down but Undertaker still pulls himself up so Hunter gets back up and Triple H KILLS Undertaker with a chairshot to the skull. Undertaker looks loopy, but his eyes are still open and he starts trying to get up again, but can't seem to manage. He finally struggles to his knees and Hunter yells at him again to stay down and just die. Undertaker keeps coming, so Hunter goes after him, and Undertaker goozles him but Hunter shakes his head, and waits for him to stumble to his feet. Hunter does a throat slash, ducks a clothesline, hits a Tombstone, and STILL only gets 2! My god, this is insane. Hunter backs off again to try and take in what just happened, then rolls out to the floor and grabs the sledgehammer from under the ring. Jim Ross says desperate times are upon us, and I can't help but agree. Hunter stalks Undertaker as he tries fruitlessly to pull himself up on the ropes. Hunter drags Undertaker out to the middle of the ring but Undertaker catches him in the Hell's Gate! Hunter drops the sledgehammer and starts fading, but manages to regain his feet briefly before collapsing again. Hunter finally finds the sledgehammer and goes to nail Undertaker with it, but fades out and drops it. Undertaker keeps the hold locked in and Hunter weakly taps out.
Winner: Undertaker
That was just unbelievable, this was so far above and beyond what I expected and proved how good both guys are to deliver on this level even with their physical limitations. Hunter gets up first and Undertaker takes a VERY long time before he starts moving. I'm sure this is somewhere between selling and really being that hurt after that match, but it really drives home the war we just saw. Hunter stands in the aisle waiting for Undertaker, who finally tries to step off the apron and just collapses at ringside. Undertaker finally stops moving as his music stops playing and just lays there with his eyes open as they drive a flatbed golf cart thing down to ringside and haul a barely conscious Undertaker onto it to carry him to the back. Crowd starts a loud Undertaker chant as they drive him back up the ramp. This was just something else.
Awesome match, but the show continues on Page 3!

Fully remodeled prior to the 2001 campaign, the dual-diamond complex, made up of Anderson Family Field and the adjacent south auxiliary field, features two lighted and fenced softball fields. They are utilized to their capacity during Cal State Fullerton's two highly competitive spring tournaments: the DeMarini Invitational and the Judi Garman Classic - the latter widely regarded to be the nation's premier regular-season tournament and standing second only to the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla. Thanks to a generous gift from local families Jeff and Michelle and Dennis and Vicki Anderson, the main diamond at Cal State Fullerton was renamed Anderson Family Field during the 2006 season and stands as one of the top softball venues in the country.
Opened: 1985 (redesigned in 2000)
First Game: Feb. 14, 1985 (def. Cal Poly, 2-0 and 7-0)
Capacity: 1,000 (main field) / 500 (south field)
Dimensions: 190'-220'-190'
Attendance Record (Single Game):
1,172 vs. UCLA (3/29/05)
Attendance Record (Tournament Date):
2,286 vs. Iowa (3/07/15 - Judi Garman Classic)
Driving Directions
After spending its first five seasons of existence at Lions Field located at Brea Blvd. and Lemon St., the Cal State Fullerton softball program moved into its new home on campus in 1985 where it has remained ever since.
With the addition of the baseball stadium and the 10,000-seat multi-purpose Titan Stadium in 1992, the softball complex also received a face lift.
Upgraded press facilities and expanded seating for up to 3,000 fans on portable bleachers were in the works as well as the addition of a message board to the already existing electronic scoreboard beyond the left field fence.
With the start of the 1995 season, the stadium underwent yet another facelift with the addition of concrete paving around both backstops for added fan comfort and safety as well as expanded batting cages and bullpens.
At the end of the 2000 season, the face of the complex was drastically changed as the main diamond was literally flipped on end to expand seating for nearby Goodwin Field and create more of a stadium atmosphere for softball competition.
The primary diamond features elevated grandstand seating with permanent box seats directly behind home plate. Chairback bleachers were added down both baselines to increase capacity at the main diamond to 1,000.
A permanent expanded two-tiered press box was added, complete with full Internet accessibility for media members. Also completed was a beautifully landscaped grassy knoll behind the left-field fence that makes the area perfect for fans to enjoy the beautiful Southern California weather during day games.
The main field features two complete bullpens with room for two pitchers to warm up simultaneously and sunken dugouts for both teams.
The second field at the complex also underwent some changes of its own prior to the 2005 season as the entire surface was levelled to create a safer playing surface for competitors. Six-foot high chainlink fences were also erected in the outfield and down both the baselines, replacing the breakaway plastic fences, and create a more permanent feeling.
The secondary diamond matches the dimensions of the main field (190' down the lines, 220' to centerfield) with seating for up to 500 fans on chairback bleachers.
The main softball and baseball stadiums are joined by a structure between the two housing the Doubek VIP room and Wilson Clubhouse. Both programs also received expanded locker room facilities and offices for the coaching staffs.

It's my understanding that a job above help-desk pretty much requires certifications.
I'm holed up in a great entry-level job where my title is Systems Administrator, though I'm better off calling myself the IT bitch (not on the resume though). It's got a decent/good salary for my age but there's no chance of advancement and I'm getting tired of the place.
I've been approached by New Horizons; they want to make me pay some high four-digit value to train me for certifications, and they don't even offer the price of the test (but books are free, there's web training, and so on).
I can pay a much lesser four-digit value to buy all the best books and training available online, I've been told, and just do it on my own. Here's my question:
Where do I go to get the stuff?
I have the knowledge, I think, for A+ / Net+, though I don't really have all that I need for TCP/IP (easy enough to find that info online though). I'm looking at the MCSE 2000 (maybe /2003) and CCNA certs.
Thanks in advance!

Nan–Nan! Please listen! You're just my older sister, You're not my mother. You could not have prevented any of it so try not to blame yourself. It all just happened, things happen. Sometimes they are just a chain of unconnected events. Think about all the good—no, the great—stuff you have done, the stuff you have done for us, for me, try to think about that for a minute. For example—if it weren't for you, because of you, me and the sibs would not have learned to love the small animals that live near the stream back at the old house. But you know that already—it has been one of your gifts to us all. You have never harmed any of us.
But there has been a kind of family secret that we need to get out from under, and I guess that it's partly out now. You know some of it, and that's the part your worrying over, and the others know some, but there is a part that only I know anything about. It has a bit to do with animals.

I have not scheduled a user meeting since April for two reasons:
- The relative poor turn-out at the April meeting. We only had about half a dozen people show.
- My health has been problematic. I have been battling diabetic neuropathy and until very recently associated pain was very poorly controlled. I've recently switched medications and am doing much better.
So hopefully we'll see some of you there. I am now getting back to some projects that have been placed on hold for a while.
The next meeting will be on August 27th starting at 3PM at Spiros on 185th and Aurora in the Fred Meyer parking lot. It will be in the banquet room. I hope enough of you come to justify reserving the room in the future.

DENVER Speed kills.
Cheyenne Mountains speed has been laying waste to opponents in Denver for six years running now; this time, it gathered Durango in its wake.
The Durango High School volleyball teams quest for a state title ended Saturday with a 3-0 loss to four-time defending champion Cheyenne Mountain at the CHSAA Class 4A Girls Volleyball State Championships at the Denver Coliseum.
The Indians kept their drive for five alive with a 25-10, 25-16, 25-14 win over the Southwestern League champions, using their remarkable speed to fluster the Durango defense. Having played Cheyenne Mountain earlier in the year, the Demons had an idea of what was coming, but the Indians executed so well that it didnt matter, as players such as Maddie Beal, Mara Barkley and Megan Schultz found holes in the block and empty space on the floor.
We had kind of a breakdown in our ball control. That was hard, DHS head coach Robin Oliger said. You know that saying (former NFL head coach) Dennis Green had? ... They are who we thought they were. Really, thats true. Theyre the same team from the very beginning. Just theyre more polished now. But its hard because theyre just so dang fast. And its not like theyre tricky about it.
Durangos best shot at taking a set came in the third. The Demons finally got McKenna Franzen untracked a bit to help build a 5-2 lead and stick with Cheyenne Mountain as the inevitable rally came.
But the Indians proved too much to handle late; they ended the match on a 12-2 run.
I mean, their speed is definitely an issue. We got our blocks up in the second game, really started to focus on that; its just theyre fast, said setter Natalie Bulen, daughter of David and Janine Bulen. We were playing smart (in the third set), and our defense really helped us out with that, and then, once our defense was on, we were able to get that set and make smart attacks.
Cheyenne Mountain runs were the not-so-subtle story of the entire morning.
The Indians closed out the first set on an 8-0 outburst. Then they turned a 13-10 second set into a 21-10 lead in the blink of an eye before finally putting Durango away after a short outburst near the end of the frame.
Bulen had 15 assists and 10 digs for the Demons, who got 14 digs from Kennedy Clark. Franzen had seven kills, while Bella Bernazzani and Jessie Brammer had five apiece.
Bulen, Clark and Franzen, along with Zoe Cutler and Hannah Quick, saw their Durango careers come to an end Saturday, and that thought left Oliger a bit misty-eyed as another quality class goes the way of college. But with several key pieces to the state tournament puzzle returning next year, Oligers optimistic for what 2013 may bring.
Weve got a lot of great kids coming back, and our (junior varsity) team was really strong. ... Weve got a lot of good pieces, Oliger said.
Durango finished the season 18-9. And while the Demons didnt achieve their end goal of a state title, they at least finished in their desired destination for the third consecutive year.
I mean, we were able to finish with a goal that we wanted to achieve, and that was to get to state, Bulen said. Although we didnt go as far as wed like to, we won our league, region and then got to state.

minox scopes? anybody shooting with one?
as all ways i surfing the goober-net for a "deal" i was over a SWFA and they got quite a few minox ZA5s and ZA3s for greatly reduced prices on their dealer samples list. the got a ZA-3 50mm scope for like $259 for instance --
now i ain't into the 'high end glass hype" but i do get tempted when i find one half priced. i am more on the order of a $200 and under--way under type of scope guy--LOL!
now i know that minox uses the very high end glass and so on in the ZA5s, the ZA3s i think have us glass from their plant here in the US . one of my shooting pals has a ZA3 and well the clarity of the glass and brightness of it is amazing.
then i find a minox ZV3 for $150 new in the box-- now i know that minox is making glass in china too--LOL
now i am really confused-- anybody got one of these ? are they worth the asking prices are is it all just mark up--then cut back hype?

I know loads of Facebook users who never bother to check their notifications. You know, that area in the top-left corner of the screen, the one with the little red number badges?
From left to right, those little icons consist of the following: Friend Requests, Inbox, and Notifications.
To me, all three are like inboxes, in that they should be checked and cleared out on a regular basis.
But let's talk about Inbox itself for a moment. When you click that icon, you'll see a list of messages (emails, for all intents and purposes) you've received from people you know.
However, what's very easy to overlook is the "Other" option, which is grayed out and barely visible atop the inbox frame. Click that; you may be surprised by the result.
Surprised, as in you have another inbox you didn't know you had. According to Facebook, the Other folder is "where you'll find messages and emails that have been filtered out of your inbox"—in other words, messages from people you probably don't know.
Now, you may have none at all. Or you may have a ton of them, all unread and unanswered. Hope there was nothing important in there from, like, two years ago.
This black hole goes hand in hand with Facebook's newly monetized messaging system, through which people can spend $1 to send you a message that lands in your proper inbox, and not the Other folder. And I suppose Facebook is banking on the fact that almost no one knows that folder exists.
So, consider this your public service announcement. And this as well: If you want to change your message-filtering preferences, Facebook offers a simple how-to. Except that step #3 is wrong: You won't see the Edit Preferences option unless you first click on one of the messages in your Other folder.
Any thoughts on this? Just par for the course with Facebook, that endlessly confusing beast, or much ado about nothing?

I was flattered to receive this email today
Hope you are well! I've been informed that the 10th Pan/Am Team Tournament is being organized this year, by CADAP (the South American CC zone). I'm contacting all those players who played for Canada on our two teams in the 9th Pan/Amm TT, plus have extended invitations to all those that seem to be most of our other top players and that are still relatively active. It seems the start date is some time in July, but I believe if more time is needed this will be pushed up to August or September. Also, Canada, once again has been given the opportunity to form two teams if we wish. This is in case, however, they need more teams in order to put together the event. This event will be played on the ICCF Webserver, like last time.
Naturally I will try to put together the strongest team(s) possible. I also realize that some of you already have heavy commitments in other events. And I understand this. If you're interested in playing, please let me know one way or the other, asap! Thanks.
Best wishes
we'll see if anything comes of it. i'm very excited and honoured to even be mentioned. i am planning on playing a tournament with K this summer (dusting off my OTB "skillz") hopefully in London but we'll see

Northern neck: Gay marriage boosted... by Canada
One of the most exciting and pivotal events to happen in years to the gay rights movement in the United States just occurred– in another country entirely.
Canada, soon expected to legalize same-sex marriage, is hardly the first nation to recognize unions between gay men and between lesbians. But, for Americans, the decision is monumental for the simple reason that Canada is right in our backyard.
It remains to be seen, of course, whether such marriages would be legally recognized here, and litigation will likely ensue for years to come. But the cultural impact from Canada's action will release a blast a hundred times stronger than the Arctic air masses our neighbor to the north regularly sends down.
What seemed like something very far off– legal sanction of same-sex relationships in America at the federal level– suddenly looks much closer. That's thrilling and hugely significant because marriage rights are among the last bastions of inequality between gays and straights, encompassing everything from tax laws and inheritance to adoption and immigration rights.
There is no logical reason to keep gays from getting married. All that opponents can come up with are emotion-charged moralistic arguments. They may make some people feel good, but in the end they just don't wash. The spectrum of legal recognition of gay relationships includes marriage rights for gays, Vermont-style civil unions (which confer many of the benefits of marriage without recognition on the federal level, where hundreds of benefits are conferred upon married individuals) and domestic partnerships laws.
Just a few years ago, domestic partnership laws– piecemeal items that often offer gay couples some very basic rights, such as hospital visitation, funeral leave and health coverage– were seen by many as radical, while civil unions and same-sex marriage were completely unheard of.
For Democratic politicians today, supporting domestic partnership laws is the safest, most conservative concession regarding recognition of gay relationships. Several Democratic presidential nominees support civil unions.
With the Canadian decision, the edge of the debate will shift even further to full marriage rights, accelerating the legal recognition of same-sex relationships in the United States, simply because of Canada's proximity.
The only countries that currently recognize gay relationships nationally are in Europe, which to most Americans may as well be a million miles way. Denmark, France, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden offer similar legal status to civil unions. Both Belgium and the Netherlands offer full marriage rights for gays and lesbians but don't allow non-citizens to marry unless they have been residents for a specified period of time.
Canada, however, is a country with which we share culture– from the English language to Austin Powers (Mike Myers), Baywatch (Pamela Anderson), and Celine Dion. And unlike the other countries that recognize same-sex marriage, Canada's proposed law will allow Americans or citizens of any other country to marry in Canada, with no specific residency requirements.
Lesbian and gay Americans may enter Canada one day and come back as husband and husband or wife and wife the next, even if they may face discrimination and opposition once they get home. The Canadian side of Niagara Falls, for instance, with its gambling casino and hotels, could very well become a gay Las Vegas, with quickie weddings for gay Americans.
As the battle for same sex marriage continues in the United States– the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts is currently deciding a case while a new one has been launched in New Jersey on behalf of seven gay couples– Canada could also provide a stunning example of how same sex marriage works. All of the apocalyptic warnings about same-sex marriage from Christian right leaders will be proved false simply by our looking to a giant experiment up north, up close.
The dire predictions, claiming that allowing gays to marry will destroy the institutions of marriage and the family, will likely be laughed off as time goes on. American public opinion will continue to change in favor of marriage rights for gays as people see that the threats to heterosexual marriage– which has its own problems these days that have nothing to do with gays– were completely bogus.
That doesn't mean there aren't big roadblocks ahead. Religious conservatives in Congress have been trying to build up steam to pass an amendment to the Constitution expressly forbidding recognition of same-sex marriage, further solidifying the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. The U.S. Supreme Court on June 26 struck down sodomy laws targeting gays.
The United States is embarrassingly behind other democracies on the issue of equal rights for gay men and lesbians. Still, legal recognition of gay relationships in America is only a matter of time. And this week it inched a lot closer.
Signorile has earned acclaim for his three books: Life Outside, Outing Yourself, and Queer in America. This essay, distributed by the Featurewell service, originally appeared in Newsday.
