Nothing to see here.
The final game of the 2009 season ends with the Lions losing at home. They finish 2 - 14, last in the division, and drafting 2nd in the 2010 draft. In my prediction contest (see http://www.theNetRat.com/contests.html) there was a tie between I Believe in Now & proof, both nailed the Lions 2009 season results right on the nose. I'm sure they would've rather I won with my 6-10 prediction, but I was once again too optimistic, so Congratulations guys on seeing the future better then I!!!
That won't deter me from trying to predict the draft, or the eventual roster, or anything else for that matter. Besides, as Lions fans know full well, there is always next year.
In this game we saw many of the same mistakes as were seen all season. Wrong routes, mental lapses resulting in penalties and broken coverages, and gutsy play calls that didn't work out.
We fans also see over a fifth of the team on IR by the end of the season once again.
We can expect to see some coaching changes (small ones, like possibly special teams coordinator, wide receiver coach, and maybe a couple others). That isn't a given, just another prediction on my part.
We can expect to see a trade or two maybe, some more roster turnover in free agency, and then we get to hopefully see another good draft. The roster turnover won't be quite as bad as last year however, since there actually are a few keepers on the team now. That's a good thing, because without a new CBA there won't be nearly as many free agents and with no salary cap the good teams are going to spend the big money on the big name free agents... plus with 2 franchise tags per team, many big name players are going no where.
We won't see the Lions using their franchise tags. At least, I can't think of any free agents on the team who the Lions will pay tag money to in order to keep them. It's not like there are many draft picks from previous drafts (from 5 years ago or longer) that are still on the team (see http://www.theNetRat.com/draft.html and click on the draft history link on the lower left).
Some players won't be cut until there is someone else to win their job in camp. The Lions have said they intend to build the team through the draft, that means a few starters per year if you're lucky, so the progress of building the team is going to go a bit slower then most would prefer. Still, fans should see some improvement, even next year. There was some this year, though it's not immediately obvious. Think back to last year and who was considered a "keeper" on the roster... now think of this year's roster... are there more names? Lot more names if you were to ask me. In fact, my next task will be to start my 2010 estimated roster sheets, they will be on the free agency page of my site (http://www.theNetRat.com/freeagency.html)
You should also see the Lions try to fill every "hole" with a body through trades and free agency. In that way, they will not feel obligated to draft any particular position in the draft in any particular order. The Lions front office know they can't do it all in one year, or two years, and that they will need another off season to really get the team built up to a respectable leverl... so if they can get a great possession receiver in round 2 they may take him, if they have him ranked higher then say a defensive end, or a cornerback. I know many don't believe me, but I truly believe the Lions are not going to go into the draft expecting to fill any particular position in any particular round. They could easily take offense in 2 of the first 3 picks. I can see it happening.
In fact, I think I'll make a few more blog entries on this subject... after a few weeks off.
So check back towards the end of the month, until then, there will be nothing to see here.

So much for simple templates. Because Text::Template evaluates the code in braces as honest-to-goodness Perl code, we can do a whole lot more with templates. Let's suppose we're invoicing for some design work:
$client = "Acme Motorhomes and Eugenics Ltd.";
%jobs =
("Designing the new logo" => 450.00,
"Letterheads" => 300.00,
"Web site redesign" => 900.00,
"Miscellaneous Expenses" => 33.75
We can create a template to do the work for us–the invoicing work, that is, not the design work:
{my $total=0; "}
To {$client}:
Thank you for consulting the services of Fungly Foobar Design
Associates. Here is our invoice in accordance with the work we have
carried out for you:
while (my ($work, $price) = each %jobs) {
$OUT .= $work . (" " x (50 – length $work)). sprintf("%6.2f", $price)."n";
$total += $price;
Total {sprintf "%6.2f",$total}
Payment terms 30 days.
Many thanks,
Fungly Foobar
What's going on here? First, we set up a private variable, $total, in the template and set it to zero. However, since we don't want a 0 appearing at the top of our template, we make sure our code snippet returns " so it adds nothing to the output. This is a handy trick.
Next we want to loop over the jobs hash. Adding each price to the total is simple enough, but we also want to add a line to the template for each job. What we'd like to say is something like this:
while (my ($work, $price) = each %jobs) {
{$work} {$price}
$total += $price;
However, Text::Template doesn't work like that: each snippet of code must be an independent, syntactically correct piece of Perl. So how do we write multiple lines to the template? This is where the magical $OUT variable comes in. If you use $OUT in your template, that's taken as the output from the code snippet. We can append to this variable each time we go through the loop, and it'll all be filled into the template at the end.
{mospagebreak title=Security and Error Checking}
One of the advantages of templating is that you can delegate the non-programming bits of your application–design of HTML pages, wording of form letters, and so on–to people who aren't necessarily programmers. One of the disadvantages with powerful templating systems like Text::Template is that it only takes one joker to discover { system("rm -rf /") } and one or both of you is out of a job. Clearly there needs to be a way to secure your templates against this sort of abuse.
Text::Template offers two ways to protect yourself from this kind of coworker, um, I mean abuse. The first is through Perl's ordinary tainting mechanism. In taint mode, Perl will refuse to run templates from external files. This protects you from people meddling with the template files, but only because you can't use template files at all any more; you must specify templates as strings instead.
If you can actually trust the files in the filesystem, then you'll need to tell Text::Template to untaint the file data; this is done with the UNTAINT option:
my $template = new Text::Template (TYPE => "FILE",
SOURCE => $filename);
Now you will be able to use the template in $filename, if $filename itself has passed taint checks.
The second mechanism is much more fine-grained; the SAFE option allows you to specify a Safe compartment in which to run the code snippets:
my $compartment = new Safe; # Default set of operations is pretty safe
$text = $template->fill_in(SAFE => $compartment);
If you're really concerned about security, you'll want to do more tweaking than just using the default set of restricted operations.
What if things go wrong in other ways? You don't want your application to die if the code snippets contain invalid Perl, or throw a divide-by-zero error. While Text::Template traps eval errors by default, you may find yourself wanting more control of error handling. This is where the BROKEN option comes in.
The BROKEN option allows you to supply a subroutine reference to execute when a code snippet produces a syntax error or fails in any other way. Without BROKEN, you get a default error message inserted into your output:
Dear Program fragment delivered error "syntax error at template line 1",
By specifying a BROKEN subroutine, you get more control over what is inserted into the output. In many cases, the only sensible thing to do if your template is broken would be to abort processing of the template altogether. You can do this by returning undef from your BROKEN routine, and Text::Template will return as much output as it was able to build up.
Of course, you now need to be able to tell whether the template completed successfully or whether it was aborted by a BROKEN routine. The way to do this is to use the callback argument BROKEN_ARG. If you pass a BROKEN_ARG to your template constructor, it will be passed into your BROKEN callback.* This allows us to do something like this:
my $succeeded = 1;
$template->fill_in(BROKEN => &broken_sub, BROKEN_ARG => $succeeded);
if (!$suceeded) {
die "Template failed to fill in…";
sub broken_sub {
my %params = @_;
${$params{arg}} = 0;
As you can see, the callback is called with a hash; the argument specified by BROKEN_ARG is the arg element of the hash. In this case, that's a reference to the $succeeded flag; we dereference the reference and set the flag to zero, indicating an error, before returning undef to abort processing.
In case you feel you can make use of the broken template, Text::Template supplies the code snippet as the text element of the hash; I haven't been able to think of anything sensible to do with this yet. To assist with error reporting, the other entries in the hash are line, the line number in the template where the error occurred, and error, the value of $@ indicating the error.
{mospagebreak title=Text::Template Tricks}
Using { and } to delimit code is fine for most uses of Text::Template–when you're generating form letters or emails, for instance. But what if you're generating text that makes heavy use of { and }– HTML pages including JavaScript, for example, or TEX code for typesetting?
One solution is to escape the braces that you don't want to be processed as Perl snippets with backslashes:
if (browser == "Opera") {
However, as one user pointed out, if you're generating TeX, which attaches meaning to backslashes and braces, you're entering a world of pain:
\textit{ {$title} } \dotfill \textbf{ \${$cost} }
A much nicer solution would be to specify alternate delimiters, and get rid of the backslash escaping:
textit{ [[[ $title ]]] } dotfill textbf{ [[[ $cost ]]] }
Much clearer!
To do this with Text::Template, use the DELIMITERS option on either the constructor or the fill_in method:
print $template->fill_in(DELIMITERS => [ '[[[', ']]]' ]);
This actually runs faster than the default because it doesn't do any special backslash processing, but needless to say, you have to ensure that your delimiters do not appear in the literal text of your template.
Mark suggests a different trick if this isn't appropriate: use Perl's built-in quoting operators to escape the braces. If we have a program fragment
{ q{ Hello } }, this returns the string "Hello" and inserts it into the template output. So another way to get literal text without escaping the braces is simply to add more braces!
{ q{
if (browser == "Opera") { … }
} }
Another problem is that your fingers fall off from typing:
my $template = new Text::Template(…);
all the time. The object-oriented style is perfect when you have a template that you need to fill in hundreds of times–a form letter, for instance–but not so great if you're just filling it in once. For these cases, Text::Template can export a subroutine, fill_in_file. This does the preparation and filling in all in one go:
use Text::Template qw(fill_in_file);
print fill_in_file("email.tmpl", PACKAGE => "Q", …);
Note that you do have to import this function specifically.
{mospagebreak title=HTML::Template}
HTML formatting is slightly different from plaintext formatting–there are essentially two main schools of thought. The first, used by HTML::Template, is similar to the method we saw in Text::Template; the template is stored somewhere, and a Perl program grabs it and fills it in. The other school of thought is represented by HTML::Mason, which we'll look at next; this is inside-out–instead of running a Perl program that prints out a load of HTML, you create an HTML file that contains embedded snippets of Perl and run that.
To compare these two approaches, we're going to build the same application in HTML::Template, HTML::Mason, and Template Toolkit, an aggregator of RSS (Remote Site Summary) feeds to grab headlines from various web sites and push them onto a single page. (Similar to Amphetadesk, http://www.disobey.com/amphetadesk/, and O'Reilly's Meerkat, http://www.oreillynet.com/meerkat/.) RSS is an XML-based format for providing details of individual items on a site; it's generally used for providing a feed of stories from news sites.
Variables and Conditions
First, though, we'll take a brief look at how HTML::Template does its stuff, how to get values into it, and how to get HTML out.
As with Text::Template, templates are specified in separate files. HTML::Template's templates are ordinary HTML files, but with a few special tags. The most important of these is <TMPL_VAR>, which is replaced by the contents of a Perl variable. For instance, here's a very simple page:
<title>Product details for <TMPL_VAR NAME=PRODUCT></title>

 <TMPL_VAR NAME=PRODUCT>

Price: $<TMPL_VAR NAME=PRICE>

Price correct as at <TMP_VAR NAME=DATE>

When filled in with the appropriate details, this should output something like:
<title>Product details for World's Biggest Enchilada</title>

 World's Biggest Enchilada

Recently discovered in the Mexican rain forests….

Price: $1504.39

Price correct as at 15:18 PST, 7 Mar 2005

In order to fill in those values, we write a little CGI program similar to the following one:
use strict;
use HTML::Template;
my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => "catalogue.tmpl");
$template->param( PRODUCT => "World's Biggest Enchilada" );
$template->param( DESCRIPTION => $description );
$template->param( PRICE => 1504.39 );
$template->param( DATE => format_date(localtime) );
print "Content-Type: text/htmlnn", $template->output;
Again, as with Text::Template, our driver program is very simple–load up the template, fill in the values, produce it. However, there are a few other things we can do with our templating language, and hence there are a few other tags that allow us a little more flexibility.
For instance, suppose we happen to have a picture of the world's biggest enchilada–that would be something worth putting on our web page. However, we don't have pictures for everything in the database; we want to output a pictures section only if we actually do have an image file kicking about. So, we could add something like this to our template:

<img src="<TMP_VALUE NAME=PICTURE_URL>" />
This means that if PICTURE_URL happens to have a true value–that is, if we've given it something like a real URL–then we include the photo
. As these <TMPL_…> tags are not real HTML tags, only things processed by HTML::Template, it's not a problem to stick one in the middle of another HTML tag, as we have here with .
Of course, if we don't have a picture, we might want to stick another one in its place, which we can do with the <TMPL_ELSE> pseudotag:

<img src="<TMP_VALUE NAME=PICTURE_URL>" />

Notice that although our <TMPL_IF> must be matched by a </TMPL_IF>, <TMPL_ELSE> is not matched.
But perhaps we're being unduly complex; all we need in this example is a default value for our PICTURE_URL, and we can do this directly with a DEFAULT attribute to <TMPL_VALUE>:

<img src="
Some people worry, quite rightly, about the effect that this sort of indiscriminate SGML abuse has on checking templates for validity. (Although, sadly many more people don't worry about HTML validity.) Further, those who use DTD-aware validating editors might wonder how to get these pseudotags into their documents in a nice way.
HTML::Template has a way around this; instead of writing the tags as though they were ordinary HTML tags, you can also write them as though they were comments, like so:

<img src="<!– TMP_VALUE NAME=PICTURE_URL –>" />
Please check back next week for the continuation of this article.

|Ilana doing a little gardening. Wearing a white dress, who cares we can wash it.
I have to say I never really thought I wanted to be a mom. I remember as a kid saying I was never going to have kids. I am a very independent, structured, an in control kind of person and kids well they can mess that all up.
|Figuring out how the mixer works. Don't worry he can't break it!
|Breaking the eggs by himself, so what if some of the shell gets in you can always take it out.
|Yeah he is only 2, but the best time to learn is when you want to, not when I say you should.
Then I met Chuck and I knew I wanted to have children. When we got pregnant with our first I remember asking people all sorts of questions trying to figure out the kind of parent I wanted to be. I remember talking with my friend Ahna who was telling me about the kids of someone she knew. She told me when she saw this person at the grocery store with her kids they were begging for treats, and their mom kept saying no...no because I said so. Something I heard all to often from my mom. Ahna then went on to tell me about her kids and when they would ask for something Ahna would be honest with them and tell them no and give them a reason. Not a lame reason but the real reason. I loved it and was instantly hooked. I was going to talk with my kids explain things to them.
|Cutting his own food at a fancy resturant, yes it might take a half hour to eat so what!
Fast forward to when we lived in our little one room house. We had a wood stove practically in the center of the house. With a little one that had just started walking this could be a bad thing. Or so we were conditioned to believe, kids are not smart they will just fling themselves into harms way. So we decided to use the talking route. We explained to Ilana that the stove was hot, "see put out your hands and feel how warm it is without even touching it. If you touch the stove when it is hot you might get burned, and that would hurt a lot." We never forbade her from touching the stove, however we would caution her when she got a little too close. Know what? She never touched the stove, she never was burned, she never accidentally fell on the stove.
|Picking out what she wants to wear, who cares if you think it doesn't match or she wont fit it.
We have used this "technique" with both of our kids, we talk to them, we try as best we can to explain, it is not easy especially when they start asking questions. Sometimes we get frustrated and want one of those seemingly easy way out mom/dad quotes like "because I said so."
|Quite the shiner on his forehead, it will heal.
The other things we decided to do, which honestly for me has been the hardest, trust. Trust that they can do it themselves, trust that they can figure it out, trust that they will not get hurt, and if they do it will be okay.
|Letting her dress herself, however that may look.
A month or so back the kids were with me at the shop where I work. The shops are located along a highway, not a three lane highway a sort of back woods highway. Anyway the 6 year old was next door at another shop and the 2 (almost 3) year old wanted to go next door. So he put on his jacket and went to the front door. At the front door were two ladies that were headed out the door, when they opened it Elan headed out. One looked back in the store and asked for his mother, I told her it was okay. She was beyond hesitant and extremely confused. I could see Elan walk out onto the sidewalk up the walk a little way then up to the neighboring shop. All the time these two woman were concerned. Elan he was so proud of himself, I could see his confidence grow with every step he took, doing it all by himself.
|Just turned 6 and eating her birthday pie with her fingers, who cares she will wash them!
I love my kids, and I am very lucky that they are such good kids. We often get compliments about how great our kids are, and more often get asked what we do. How do we raise such good, caring, independent, courageous kids. And I guess the answer is by letting them be the little people that they want to be. So Elan wants to put bandages on places that don't need them, so Ilana wants to wash the dishes. I can buy more band-aids, we can re-wash the dishes that don't come out so clean (of course not in front of her).
|Going to get the mail with no clothes and no shoes...he is doing it his way!
Instead of buying the toys that they can pretend to be adults with, why not let them use the tools adults use.
|It can be washed off.
This is what I have learned; things might take a little longer, they might be a little messier, they might have to be re-done, there will be bumps and bruises, there may be more frustration, there will be happiness, there will be more confidence, it gets easier, there is more independence.
|Two pretty happy kids!
Let's end with a word from someone Chuck and I both admire (Frank Zappa):

Man remains in custody
Services for 18-month-old Jayden Bradds of Clark will be held Friday.
The young child was pronounced dead at Moberly Regional Medical Center Sunday morning.
He apparently suffered injuries while in the care of Joseph D. Laswell.
Laswell remains in the Randolph County Justice Center at Huntsville on a $250,000 cash only bond.
Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney Mike Fusselman filed an amended felony complaint Tuesday.
Count 1 states the prosecutor upon information and belief charges that the defendant in violation of Section 568 050 RSMo committed the class A felony of abuse of a child punishable upon conviction and that the defendant knowingly struck the infant and in the course caused the infant to suffer serious physical injury.
Count 2 alleges that Laswell committed the class C felony of domestic assault in the second degree, causing serious physical injury to the infant by striking him or causing his head to strike an object and that the baby and defendant were family or household members in that the baby and defendant resides together and/or the mother of Jayden and defendant were in a continuing social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature.
Laswell was arraigned Tuesday afternoon before Judge Cynthia Suter and will appear again in court at 1:30 p.m. Monday for a counsel status.
As reported earlier, it was about 9 a.m. Sunday when the Randolph County Sheriff's Department went to MRMC according to court documents. The infant had been pronounced dead upon arrival of officers.
According to the probable case statement, it is reported that visible injuries included several recent bruises and abrasions across the forehead and an abrasion near his eyes according to court documents. Older bruises also were seen on the child's back and hips.
Laswell was the last person to see the infant alive Saturday. He told investigators the child tripped over a toy and struck his head on a table, but that story changed.
Court documents reveal he admitted to becoming upset when the child picked up his cell phone and responded by pushing the child, causing him to hit his head on the floor. Investigators report that Laswell said he had spanked the child and purposefully dropped his cell phone on the child's forehead.
A Child Death review will be held Friday at 9 a.m. at Moberly Police Station. Prosector Fusselman will be in charge with assistance from Coroner Gerald Luntsford. This is a closed review and it is expected some information may be released after the review.
Coroner Luntsford was called at 9:25 a.m. Sunday to MRMC.
He reports he viewed the body and then ordered an autopsy. Also on the scene was Cpl. Taylor, an investigator for the sheriff's department. The law officials turned the investigation over to the Drug and Control Unit of the Missouri Highway Patrol and shortly afterwards, Sgt. Steven V. Willhoite arrived on the scene. Coroner Luntsford took the baby's body to Medical Examiners Office at University Hospital in Columbia and he and Sgt. Willhoite were there for the autopsy.
Results of the autopsy will be released in about four to six weeks. Because of the ongoing investigation, additional information cannot be released.
Services for the infant will be held at Million and Taylor Funeral Home in Moberly and burial will follow at Hagar Cemetery.

Zen at Home: Working Out in a Small Space
If you live in the city where space is at a premium, choosing a workout that works in a small space can be tricky. Treadmills and other machines tend to have a large footprint and, generally speaking, are an eyesore. Exercise that depends instead on body weight tends to be easier to do at home, perhaps explaining why Yoga and Pilates are so popular in urban areas.
Here are a few accessories to help you get into shape without sacrificing style (or floor space).
1. Giam's yoga mats are well known for being cushy, an added bonus on wood floors. The soothing shades of blue in this mat and the subtle pattern evoke the ocean. $22
2. Hydration is important and the stylish Kor One Vessel will have you reaching for your water whether you are working out indoors or out. $30
3. If you don't love the look of your yoga mat rolled up in a corner you can cover it up (and tote it around) in the beautifully patterned Prana Sari Yoga Bag. $35
4. The Bamboo Yoga Block is subtle enough to blend in and is a great aid for advanced poses. $15
5. Instead of collecting DVD's which can create visual clutter, you can subscribe to classes online via yogavibes.com (where you can purchase by the class or subscribe for unlimited access - $10-$25) or choose from the selection on the Netflix streaming plan ($8).

Elite, Call of Duty's answer to stat tracking, community building, help guides and original videos, remains mostly unusable nearly two days after the service's official launch. But teams are working around the clock on fixing the problems, Activision tells Kotaku.
"We are being challenged by a response beyond any of our expectations on day one," said Activision Digital vice president Jamie Berger. "But we're making good headway."
Berger said one of the biggest issues is the flood of new users signing up for the service. The developers today were able to greatly increase the number of people who can register at a time for both the free and premium versions of the service, something they hope will have a big impact on the service's stability.
"This is like that terrible birthing pains any new online service goes through," Berger added.

Thanks a lot Stan.
I have known done a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04 (the distribution recommended by AMD).
I have tried several combinations of AMD-APP (2.7 and 2.8) and Catalyst drivers (12.4, 12.10 and 13.4).
AMD-APP 2.8 (the latest version) is the one responsible for dgemm not working. It works for SDK2.7 and Catalyst 13.4 or 12.10.
SDK2.7 only allows to get 2/3 of the power of the GPU to be used.
Regardless of the versions of SDK or Catalyst drivers, my sample program still gives a segmentation fault at the same place.

Brad Davis had a season to remember in 2011. Playing in every game, he won MLS' Silver Boot award for most assists with 16 on the year and finished runner-up in the league's MVP voting. Unlike the MVP winner, he also went to the playoffs and added two more assists to send Houston to the MLS Cup Final before going down with an injury. Oh, and he added four goals during the regular season if all of that wasn't enough for you.
I remind you of this because Davis is now up against David Beckham, Dwayne De Rosario and Chris Wondolowski for an ESPY award in the Best MLS Player category. Clearly, there is one choice in this matter. So click here to vote for Brad. Warning: you will have to vote in all of the categories for your vote to be processed.
The ESPYS are an annual sports awards event held by ESPN to recognize the greatest accomplishments in the sports world over the past year. This year's event will be on July 11 at 8 p.m. CT, hosted by comedian Rob Riggle.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A coroner says a woman who died after being found naked, scorched and suffering on a rural Ohio road was too badly burned to tell if she'd been injured in most any other way.
The Franklin County coroner, Dr. Jan Gorniak, said Friday that Celeste Fronsman's death was a homicide. But the exact cause of death won't be known for sure until the investigation is complete in four to six weeks.
Authorities say the 29-year-old Fronsman was discovered by a motorist early Sunday on a road northeast of Zanesville. She'd been raped and burned, and had a strap around her neck. She died Tuesday at a Columbus hospital.
Gorniak says Fronsman had second-, third- and fourth-degree burns on about 80 percent of her body.
No arrests have been made.

As an old guy who is 50 years old, I finally decided on a hobby and it's the guitar.
I ordered the cheapest electric guitar beginner set on Amazon.
If I stick with this consistently for 6 months, I will invest in good equipment.
Well, it's been 9 months, I spend an hour each day; 5 days a week practicing guitar.
Now, I'm in the process of upgrading to a semi-hollow or hollow body guitar.
I admit that I'm an incredibly slow learner and youtube.com guitar lessons drive me nuts.
I started a subscription to guitartricks.com and the introductory lessons are really slow; to my liking.
Since I have a million questions about equipment, I'll hold off because there are other areas to post those questions.
But, I'd like to network with other beginner guitarists (less than 6 months experience) in the Washington D.C. metro area (Rockville, MD).
If anybody can give advice on how to meet other beginner guitarists, then I welcome your advice.
My girlfriend hates going to Guitar Center with me and doesn't practice her acoustic guitar so it would be nice to meet others with similar interests.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Wish me luck.

Hello! I'm Trevor, I'm 19 and I've been involved in a lot of projects and jam sessions growing up with my friends. I've only focused on vocals for 4-5 years and I've kind of just gotten tired of it. I want to actually learn an instrument and a note system that I can directly understand and make use of for many types of genres not being restricted by a vocal range.
The situation right now is that I don't own a guitar with more than 3 strings and it will take a few weeks in order to get one and I had questions based on what I can start trying to learn now while I'm waiting to get my hands on a working guitar. As the years go by and I get more skilled, I'd like to focus mainly on Math Rock, similar to artists like CHON and Via Luna. I specify this because I love the emotion that can be given simply from instrumental music and it has a big factor in my self development. So here are my questions;
1. Based on where I want to take my guitar playing, what type of guitar should I look to purchase, an acoustic, or electric?
2. What topics should I look up and study before I obtain a working guitar, I have a 3 string acoustic that I can use as a reference for notes, etc.? Stuff that I can write down and study every day like music theory, but wanted to know if there is more than that.
3. I am avoiding physical lessons, so when I have a guitar, who would you guys recommend for beginners wanting to pursue in more technical finger tapping riffs, or if I should start and learn the basics before branching off into that?
Thank You! (:

On December 9th Carl and I had a jam session and recorded it. Carl plays bass, I play guitar, and a guest, Dismal Turgid, on drums. We played it through a couple times and then picked our favorite.
This is also my mix, without Carl helping. I don't hear low frequencies well at all. But, I gave it my best shot as a mix. Its a fairly easy mix. Just drums, bass, and guitar.
Let me know what you think of my half deaf jamming and mixing. Its different now that I can't hear well.

My XO is currently running build 802, sugar version 0.82.1, firmware Q2E41
Sugar 0.88 just came out. How do I upgrade to that version of Sugar? I combed the entire wiki for an answer, but nothing turned up. The new version has all sorts of features that I want, but there doesn't seem to be an upgrade. I checked the olpc-update wiki page, but it said I had the latest "Build". (What is a build?) Then I looked at release 10.1.0 with Gnome, but I couldn't find how to upgrade for the XO-1. Is it possible that the Sugar community, (or OLPC, I don't know which) is leaving behind XO-1 users behind? I understand that there are some really great new things about the XO-1.5, but millions of kids still have the XO-1. You can't leave us behind! I'm not trying to be a Negative Nelly, I'm only try help the greater good of Sugar, it's Learners, and it's community.

CURRENCY AFFAIR: Jan Die (Ivan Barney) plasters his wall with his earnings in 'I Served the King of England.'
Tortes and Tarts
In 'I Served the King of England' a canny waiter dishes up some cheesecake for the ruling classes
By Richard von Busack
THIS IS a bent kind of trifle, a semitranslatable parable about the hazards of getting along by going along. I Served the King of England is a Central European comedy about the waiter's pandering, smiling subservience to whatever class is ruling. There is no malice in this story. It is possible that some people who are deeply entrenched in a hospitality-industry training program might not even suspect the film has an edge. I Served the Kind of England also evinces the pre-morality of silent comedy. It shows us a little chap's unscrupulous climb to the top, followed by his fall because of trusting too much in the status quo. And as in the creamy Lubitsch comedies it echoes, the film shows off some babes. Director Jiri Menzel is wry about the connivance between curvy tarts and the mustachioed old men who hire them. Much of the film is like that scene in Some Like It Hot where the row of millionaires in rocking chairs start rocking harder when Marilyn sashays by "like Jello on springs." As the feminist cartoonist Colleen Coover put it, "Pretty girls make people happy." If that principle seems too boneheaded to you—it's sure working for John McCain, anyway—it's probably best to avoid this Czech movie. While providing an array of actresses in fetching '30s summer clothes, Menzel counterpoints by hinting at the corrosion of a society from too much sweets. This tendency is brutally overcorrected by the pious Communists.
It is a simple fact of cinema that no one looks trustworthy in a blond mustache. Ivan Barnev, as Jan Dite, grows one as a sign of his rising status as a waiter. He advances from a provincial bar to the counter at the best hotel in Prague. As the movie begins and ends, he is running a dusty gasthaus in the forest. He tells his life story to his friends. There's a Munchausian touch to his reminiscence. He once personally served a banquet of roast camel to the emperor of Ethiopia, a shorty in a tarboosh, who honored him out with a sash and a medal. Jan's acumen with a tray and a bottle of wine made him famous, but he also specialized in the arrangement of the goodies waiting upstairs for the regular customers: girls wheeled in on lazy susans or decorated with delicacies: flower petals, slices of fruit and especially money. And then—always minding his role as a servant—he holds up a mirror to the reclining ladies, like Cupid in a Renaissance painting, letting these Venuses see themselves. After the Reich acquires Czechoslovakia. Jan gets involved with a cute ardent Nazi (Julia Jentsch) who gets inhabited by the spirit of Der Führer, Exorcist-wise.

The film presents a droll view of a country with two terrible occupiers and shows how the spirit survived even after the borders capsized. The area is still dependent on the service industry; the Pilsner Urquell product placement in this movie is as omnipresent—and as chic—as the Stella Artois ads in a Landmark Theater. I Served the King of England is a slightly silly but very succulent movie with the sensible idea that one can counter the nightmare of history with fervent dreams of bare skin and thick frosting.
I SERVED THE KING OF ENGLAND (R; 118 min.), directed and written by Jiri Menzel, based on the novel by Bohumil Hrabal, photographed by Jaromir Sofr and starring Ivan Barnev, opens Sept. 5 at the Los Gatos Cinema.

25 Twitter Reviews Of B.o.B's 'Underground Luxury'
Amid all the Beyoncé revelry, you may have missed that B.o.B released an album called Underground Luxury today (Dec. 17). And according to Twitter, it's quite good. Despite Bobby Ray's pop explosion fueled by the smash "Airplanes," the Atlanta rapper is still one of the more underrated MCs. Check out a few snap reviews of his new third album.


text: It's been a little while for me since The Sartorialist featured a must-have-item, but the artful combination of this olive green army field jacket worn over a suit had me searching for a similar jacket. An iconic item in the US, they're available from the high-end (Ralph Lauren Black Label) to army surplus stores. Somehow, the olive green colour and the fact that it's a purposeful, military item overrides the jacket's essential scruffiness allowing it to combine well with smarter, more conventional items.

1. Re: Faulty boards?Dan_O Mar 16, 2010 4:26 PM (in response to torkil)1 of 1 people found this helpful
It's not just the total wattage, but the amperage on the 12-volt rail, that both processors and memory pull from. There is a list of power supplies (and non-Intel chassis) that do work with dual processors and full memory, at
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s5520sc/sb/CS-030490.htm for the SC and

2. Re: Faulty boards?torkil Mar 17, 2010 1:37 AM (in response to Dan_O)
Thanks for the suggestion. I may have missed something but I wasn't able to find any power ratings for any of the mentioned PSUs, following those links, even the Intel ones.
However, I tried the Power_Budget_Tool spreadsheet linked elsewhere and according to that it should only use about ~30 amps to get either board+ 2 x CPU + memory to POST (everything else disconnected). My PSU provides 62 amps on the 12v rail, so that should be adequate.
The memory I'm using is KVR1066D3E7/1G which is not on the tested list but it seems pretty similar to KVR1066D3E7S/1G which is, the only difference being the lack of a thermal sensor, so I think that should be fine too?
3. Re: Faulty boards?Dan_O Mar 17, 2010 4:01 PM (in response to torkil)1 of 1 people found this helpful
Yes, 62 amps should be sufficient. Do those boards also have one or two additional 2x4 power plugs for the processors? I can't remember.
For the memory, well, if it's not on the tested list, funny things can happen. I think for Kingston specifically, all the memory that *doesn't* act funny on the Intel boards has an "I" at the end.
4. Re: Faulty boards?torkil Mar 18, 2010 3:40 AM (in response to Dan_O)
The S5500BC has 1 x 8 pin, the S5520SC has 2. I'll try with a 1200W PSU with 2 x 8 pin power before I RMA the boards, just to be sure, even though I had planned on using a splitter for the S5520SC.
5. Re: Faulty boards?
Hi i have the s5520sc board and corsair psu hx1000 ,i notice that the psu dont have auxiliary power connector and maybe for this reason cpus and ram dont work properly.
So in my case i believe i damage the cpu 2 because i have unrecovable fatal error speeds missmatch ,in bios the cpu2 run at 4400!!!!! i dont do anything at all (i promise ) so i think that cpu takes more power and alleluia.....http://www.google.gr/search?hl=el&client=firefox-a&hs=c2Q&rls=org.mozilla:el:official&sa=X&ei=fx0ZTpGxHcea-wbC_OzXBw&ved=0CCsQBSgA&q=alleluia&spell=1
I really dont undrestand why this happent cause dont happent always...for one hour the cpus dont have speeds missmatch and after a while they have....
in my country we say "malakies" for these situation.
6. Re: Faulty boards?Doc_SilverCreek Jul 10, 2011 11:52 PM (in response to George Liveris )
You may want to update the BIOS code stack.
This sounds like an intermitted issue in one of the old bios versions.
(and it really is not running at that speed )

Yeap,it was an old bios problem after all but you know what happent after..

SAN JOSE, Calif. – After having solid success mining the Montreal Impact for midfielder Joey Gjertsen before the 2010 season, the San Jose Earthquakes are hoping to hit a free-agency double.
Quakes general manager John Doyle confirmed Thursday that the club has signed Tony Donatelli, an attack-minded midfielder with experience on the right wing and the center of the park, to help fill the hole left by their quartet of departed forwards and midfielders: Arturo Alvarez, Eduardo, Geovanni and Cornell Glen.
Donatelli scored 19 regular-season goals and added 12 assists in five seasons with the Vancouver Whitecaps (in their pre-MLS days) and, more recently, the Impact. He had seven goals last year in Montreal, his best season with the club.
"I think I'm a two-way midfielder, but I have the ability to score some goals," Donatelli said. "My history has shown that. I think with the year [Chris Wondolowski] had, they're definitely looking for options to help them score and take the load off them. Hopefully I can provide some of that."
Perhaps most impressively to Doyle, Donatelli scored three times in eight matches during the Impact's run to the quarterfinals of the 2008-09 CONCACAF Champions League.
"Tony's proven he can score against good teams," Doyle said. "When they play in the CONCACAF, he's played and done well. We've scouted him for two or three years, we like him. We'll see how he does."
[inline_node:327310]For Donatelli, joining the Quakes is the culmination of a five-year dream. After four years at Temple University, he was selected by Houston in the third round of the 2006 MLS Supplemental Draft, but couldn't crack a roster already laden with talented midfielders.
"They thought it would probably be better for me to go down to the USL at the time and get some experience there," Donatelli said. "I had a few successful years, and now it's the right time to move back."
Donatelli could have potentially been a part of Montreal's ascension to MLS in 2012, but he worried about the Impact's status as a member of the NASL – a league which recently lost its provisional Division 2 status.
"Coming to MLS has been a goal of mine, but with the uncertainty there, it made it a little bit easier to make this ultimate decision," Donatelli said. "To have that uncertainty the year before [moving up] wasn't something I really wanted to be involved with. I'm really happy with the opportunity here in San Jose."
In San Jose, Donatelli will be reunited for a third time with Gjertsen, who was a teammate in Vancouver and Montreal.
"When Joey made the move, it made it a lot easier of a transition and [helped] communication between the two sides," Donatelli said. "It makes it an easier move for me."
Donatelli said he played primarily as a wide midfielder on the right last season and as an attacking central midfielder, where he's most comfortable. Doyle sees him as a potential withdrawn forward as well.
"We have a lot of versatile guys," Doyle said, mentioning Wondolowski, Scott Sealy and Ryan Johnson. "He's in that mix of creative, hard-working players."
There is playing time up for grabs at all those spots, especially wide right, where Alvarez put in the bulk of his 1,210 minutes last season.
"I wouldn't say [Donatelli] is a burner, but I think he's smart," Doyle said. "He plays a good 1-2, gets off the ball. He thinks quick. I mean, Arturo has quickness, but I don't think he crossed but one ball [last] year."

Hello, i have a bug to report about Toonstruck on wii port.
The remote do not have any way to "examine" things within the game. no button do the trick and i tried hard, or maybe i am missing something?
Besides on discworld 1 and 2 the "use" function is set on the button 2, is there a way to reset it somewhere else for a smoother experience? Just a comfort issue on this one.
Love the program, perfect beside those small issues thanks for the hard work!! especially PSP port and vibrant colors. Makes my old games so gorgeous. Thanks you ScummVM team!

Friday Style Icon: Safe Sex Advocate Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes
By now you guys probably know that slow motion fail XOJane published a completely objectionable article by a supposed "health editor" in which she talks about how Plan B is her preferred method of birth control because she hates condoms and the pill makes you fat and you can only have so many abortions. LOL!! ;) right? No. Everyone at TheGloss (and editors at Mommyish and The Grindstone) want the article's author Cat Marnell to crawl into a dark place and stay there. Or at least promise never to breed.
However, before XOJane editors start whining on Twitter about how we're being "hateful" without once acknowledging the author's reprehensibly flippant attitude towards women's reproductive health and their own astonishing irresponsibility, we want to do something not mean! We're going to be positive!
So, for today's Friday Style Icon, we're taking a trip back to the '90s to one of the most awesome girl groups of all time and celebrating the dearly departed Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, our favorite member of TLC, a legendary group comprising three women who were all outspoken advocates of safe sex.
Or, you know what? Skip the gallery and just listen to awesome TLC songs:

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois is the fourth state to allow illegal immigrants to obtain a driver's license with a new law signed by the governor.
Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn signed the legislation Sunday surrounded by hundreds of supporters who say the measure will make Illinois' roads safer and expand opportunities for illegal immigrants.
Quinn says people need a way to get to work, drive to the doctor and drive their children to school. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel says the new law should serve as a model for the nation.
New Mexico and Washington both issue licenses to undocumented immigrants, while Utah issues permits.
Illinois officials say the dissemination of the temporary licenses is expected to begin in November.
The legislation was billed as a public safety measure and had bipartisan support.
