Shane Del Rosario (11-0 MMA, 3-0 SF) isn't in the clear just yet.
The Strikeforce heavyweight was involved in an April 14 automobile accident when an allegedly intoxicated driver struck his car, which was waiting at a stoplight in Laguna Niguel, Calif.
Now Del Rosario's trainer, Colin Oyama, said there's some concern whether or not the undefeated heavyweight will ever return to action, and he's facing some distracting legal proceedings while helping to prosecute the woman that hit him.
"He's having some serious physical difficulties," Oyama told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "He's planning on [fighting again], but the injuries are serious enough to where it's kind of in question whether he can or not. We're hoping that he can. We'll know more in six months."
Del Rosario had been scheduled to face fellow top prospect Daniel Cormier at June's "Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum" event. However, as Del Rosario waited at a red light early on that Thursday evening, things quickly changed.
"He was at a complete stop," Oyama said. "This lady was drunk at 6 p.m. – I'm not sure how you're drunk at 6 p.m. – but she lost control of her car, smashed into him, and apparently tried to flee the scene. The cops chased her down and caught her."
The driver, Kimberly Essayian, was booked on charges of driving under the influence according to the Orange County Police Department.
Del Rosario's car was totaled in the accident, and he's currently exploring his legal options. Oyama said his fighters new employers are assisting in the process, as well as in Del Rosario's physical recovery.
"Obviously, he's contacted an attorney, and he's gone to some of the best specialists around, so we'll see," Oyama said. "Zuffa and Strikeforce have definitely helped with that. We'll know more in a couple of months.
"He's been trying to go to rehab as much as possible, but it's difficult with the lawsuit in what you can and can't do. Everything you do is affecting the lawsuit. People following him (and saying), 'Oh, he's not hurt, he can walk.' It's like, come on. Are you kidding me?"
Oyama declined to comment on the specifics of the legal proceedings that lie ahead for the heavyweight, but he admitted they may prove distracting in the near future. More importantly, Oyama said he's more interested in making sure his fighter makes it back to the cage – something he unfortunately can't guarantee at this time.
"If anything it will become a big legal distraction for him," Oyama said. "But as far as training, he won't be able to train for probably another two or three months."

Many of us take multivitamin supplements which may be important in maintaining general health and certainly in specific situations including poor dietary intake, low body weight, gastrointestinal diseases, vegetarian diets, and prenatal. However, when it comes to the opportunity of including natural sources of multivitamins in our diet we often give it up because we choose foods which may be deemed tastier, easier or more convenient. The foods that can really sustain us are the ones that we should strive to include in our daily diet – and leafy green vegetables are a great place to start.
Greens, especially dark green leafy vegetables, are an excellent source of iron, calcium, magnesium, and folic acid, which happen to be some of the key nutrients that women in particular need for their health. Green leafy vegetables are packed with micronutrients said to be protective against cancer and other diseases. Furthermore, a recent study has shown that increasing your consumption of green leafy vegetables by as little as an extra serving per day is one of the ways that you may be able to prevent the development of type 2 diabetes.
Common green leafy vegetables that we often think of are spinach, broccoli, brussel sprouts, lettuce, and green cabbage; however, there are many exciting, though less usual choices including (in no particular order) arugula, parsley, kale, red cabbage, swiss chard, endive, radicchio, collard greens, beet greens, bok choy, and watercress. My recommendation is to try to include at least one of these foods into your daily diet which can be a simple as adding a side dish of green salad, steamed broccoli, or low fat cabbage slaw. Feel free to write to us about how you like to include greens in your meals!

Bethel Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing (Newton, Kansas, USA)
The Bethel Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing was an integral part of the Bethel Deaconess Hospital. The charter of the Bethel Deaconess Home and Hospital Society of Newton, Kansas, issued in 1903, stated: ". . . the purposes for which this corporation is formed are as follows: (a) the establishment and maintaining of a training school to educate and train nurses and deaconesses in a hospital to be erected for that purpose in connection with said school."
The Bethel Deaconess Hospital, with its School of Nursing, was dedicated and opened for service 11 June 1908. Sister Frieda Kaufman served as Superintendent and Deaconess Mother. Sister Catherine Voth was director and instructor of student nurses. The first student to enroll was Anna Janz on 26 September 1908. By 1959 approximately 410 students had graduated and served as missionaries, ministers' wives, nurses, and homemakers. The alumnae association was organized in 1920. In 1959 the capacity was 60 students in a regular three-year course. The School of Nursing was accredited and approved by the Board of Nurse Registration and Nursing Education in the State of Kansas.
The realization that nursing education should be in an academic community led the Bethel Deaconess nursing program to associate with Hesston (Kansas) College and Bethel College, where students would take their supporting courses in addition to the nursing courses taught at Bethel Deaconess Hospital. Admission to the program opened to men in the mid-1960s and to married students in 1969.
The decision to close the Bethel Deaconess School of Nursing in 1974 was based on the trend in nursing education to shift responsibility for educating nurses from hospitals to educational institutions and the dearth of faculty with academic qualification and leadership abilities needed for nursing education. During its 66 years in operation, the Bethel Deaconess School of Nursing graduated 660 nurses.

The Norwich Ice Rink will continue to be cooled by the same system that failed last month, leaking ammonia gas.
The Norwich Ice Rink will continue to be cooled by the same system that failed last month, leaking ammonia gas.
The facility re-opened Wednesday after losing 27 days because of the incident, which cost more than $70,000 in repairs and lost revenue. The failure came about 10 months after a vendor that wants to install a different cooling system warned the current one was in danger of breaking down.
The Ice Rink Authority spent more than $42,000 to repair the rink's existing chiller, which helps regulate temperature to maintain the skating surface. The machinery was installed when the facility opened in 1995 and had beeing running continuously until it gave out last month.
Authority members said they're confident the chiller won't suffer another malfunction, but they still plan to issue a request for proposals to solicit bids on the installation of new machinery to explore the costs.
"Everything is still on the table," authority chairman Peter Desaulniers said. "But I don't feel like it's critical right now, so we can really take some time and come up with a good decision."
Rink Manager Mia Sanca, who declined to comment when contacted Friday, resigned on Wednesday.
Officials said this week the Feb. 13 incident in which a seal blew on the chiller and forced gaseous ammonia into the air was the byproduct of a lax maintenance schedule. In the wake of the incident, Desaulniers said several safeguards have been implemented to prevent a similar circumstance in the future.
"Equipment does fail — there's no question about that. I think had a better maintenance schedule been performed in the past, the possibility would have been lessened," he said.
Mike McCullough, a Sprague resident who is team manager for the Bacon Academy and Norwich Free Academy hockey teams and coach in the Southeastern Connecticut Youth Hockey Seahawks league, said he has no safety concerns with the authority's decision to use the same chiller.
"To be honest, I didn't feel there was a huge safety concern when the incident occurred. My concern with repairing the equipment they have is 'How long is that repair going to be durable and be OK?' "
However, a representative from Sylvan Lake, Mich.-based Thermo Source, which specializes in the construction of geothermal energy systems at ice arenas, said the rink's governing board knew as far back as April 2012 the chiller was in danger of failing.
The company, which provided workshops to the authority last June and the City Council on Feb. 4, conducted a site walkthrough prior to its first presentation and alerted authority members of the chiller's poor condition, according to Bob Morrell, a Thermo Source sales representative.
"We knew it was going to fail. If you ever looked at it, it looked like an old German submarine," Morrell said. "It was stunning to me, the decision to repair that piece of equipment. You don't know if it's going to work for two years or two days."
The company offered to loan Norwich a chiller after the breakdown as it worked to upgrade the rest of the rink, according to an email exchange between Morrell and Desaulniers, which Morrell provided to The Bulletin.
During a special authority meeting on Feb. 21, members cited a legal opinion by Corporation Counsel Michael Driscoll that prevented them from engaging in a contract with Thermo Source without putting the entire project out to bid first.
"The authority can set rates, rents, fees and charges to cover operation and maintenance expenses but since it does not own the rink and does not have a lease on it, it probably should not on its own commit to major expenditures beyond the revenue it has received or can very realistically anticipate receiving within a short term horizon," Driscoll wrote.
In a Dec. 18, 2012 press release issued by Thermo Source, Morrell said the company's integrated mechanical system would remove the risk of incidents like the one that occurred last month.
"The existing ammonia compressor system not only requires regular maintenance performed by costly commercial refrigeration technicians, but can become extremely dangerous if a leak were to occur," he wrote.
Nobody was injured in the February incident, but the building was shuttered for nearly a month, and an estimated $30,000 in potential revenue was lost during that time.
Longtime authority member Michael Goldblatt said he wants to explore the idea of geothermal power for the rink, but supports using the current technology until officials can learn more about all the options.
"I think an option is to get another 10 years out of those chillers. Probably a better maintenance program would have kept it going a little longer. We're not under duress right now. It's unfortunate this thing broke, but it's back up now," he said.
Desaulniers said the authority may reach out to Norwich Public Utilities to conduct an energy survey of the facility to see where costs can be found. He said such a plan wouldn't require an outside bidder because NPU is a city agency.
"If we can work within our own utility, I don't think we need to for an RFP," he said. "They're the ones we should go to for energy conservation."

text: A UK Mom has given birth to twins, however one of the duo is black and the other white. The parents of the cute kids have implied that the reason for the difference in the kids skin color is down to the variants in their heritage. The father of the pair is of Italian and English descent and the Mother is of Jamaican descent. Doctors have backed up the theory of the Balasco family with this explanation;'When you have nonidentical twins, two eggs are fertilised by two separate sperm. They will share genes from the same parents but the way those genes are expressed will vary. Natalia will have inherited her father's genes for skin colour and Orlando will have his mother's. It's the same sort of genetic variation that leads to brothers and sisters having different looks.'The babies join a very elite group of twins born with similar differences.

To Resha:
Repeated applications of the baby boost creates a diminished affect. You should only administer it once per couple. You may have shot yourself in the foot if you gave it to them over and over. :(
Although the game says it matters whether the couple wants children, I have not found that to be the case. They have babies whether they want them or not. I often have six children, and never less than three.
Hi all,
I started today with a new family. All my families before had boys and girls. But this one only has girls (1 adopted, 3 own). And they are really cute, so I thought I share them with you.
My 4 girlies
I hope I can get them to make 6 girls.
Womenpower ;)
Greetings, Kayleigh
Hey y'all!
I tried some of the mods and got some nice changes to the house. Here are a few screenshots.
It is just not meant for me to make a screen shot. I press print screen and try to paste it to paint but paste is not highlighted. I'm going to try to find a program that will work. I really appericate all the help you have given me. (I named some of my family members after all of you that has given me so much help)
Like grinnyp, I have a family that has all the upgrades and items and so far I have 83 of the trophys (trying for all of them), but there is still a lot of stuff. My favorite is to buy everyone in the family matching outfits (it's so cute). All families have different personalities so each generation is different. I also love hearing cute stories and keeping up with the "regulars" progress and also helping other players as much as I can sort of like giving back because I needed so much help and there was someone always willing to help.
YaY! I think I may have figured out screen shots!!
This is just a test... I took a shot of my family that wears the same outfits..
Here goes..
Hope it works If so I will be able to share cute or strange things that goes on
This is a screen shot of a mod I found. It makes the background black and has little cute differences. I thought I'd share. I thinks it's really cute
Oh you brought up a interesting detail. At first I thought the mod might have had a little bug in it, but as I was going through each of my people some say "definitely", "maybe", "would be nice", or "no way" I also have several that don't have anything in that detail and I never noticed it till now. She is just one of them. I guess she just goes with the flow LOL
Never mind, I guess I can't really experiment anymore. Anyway, just thought this was kind of cute (even though my couple was dying). https://jayisgames.com/images/hs_pam_virtualfamilies_trinci_coupledeath.jpg
OMG Trinci...they are dying together..how cute is that.. ;)
I'm waiting to get trophies for collecting weeds, socks and smudges.. but check this out..
how am I supposed to pick up that lil sock on my fax machine? ;p it's been there for ages!!! ;p
Little, I don't think it's "fixable." I don't have much experience with that, but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be there. (I don't see how you could fix it, anyway, since the upgraded workshop has it, as well.)
P.S. Pam, am I supposed to change the link for the pictures, or do you do that?
[Edit: I change it so that the image will be on the JIG server. What you're doing is perfect. Thanks! -Pam]
Hi there,
when I look at your screenshots, I see, that you all do have a lot of money - how do you do that?
When a couple dies, the money leaves also (that was a sad experience ;)). The next starts, with whatever they have. When I try not to buy too much food, they tell me they need diffrent kind of food.
Or get ill every few minutes (my last couple was over 60, did not work anymore and needed every few minutes medicine). I have a few of the cheaper updates as birdhouse, fountain, paintings - but no way to get a swimmingpool or even kitchen-, workshop- office update :(. When ever one of my adults is coming further then "Novice", sooner or later a message is coming, that all points will be taken away.
What do I do wrong? Is it, because I do not have that much time and only spend a few minutes to see how they are (but this of course a few times a day)
Greetings, Kayleigh
Pejay -
I've found the best mods in the forums at the Last Day at Work website. Go to the page where they list all the forums and scroll down to the bottom. You'll see the mod forums there. Pick the one for Virtual Families and you're off!
As always, I caution anyone who uses mods in this game, back up your original image files before doing anything! If something goes wrong, you need those files to restore the game to factory settings.
Makayla -
Check their details. If their health bar is low you should buy the doctor consultation in the store (it is expensive). If they give you a diagnosis then treat accordingly. If there is nothing wrong then all you can do is make sure they are well fed, give them multi-vitamins if they are available in your store, and make sure they get rest and exercise. If they are not suffering from an infection and if they are properly taken care of their health will rise.
Crystal J -
A "mod" is a modification of the game's original image file. Some mods can do little things like replace the radio with a cute retro version or big things like redecorate your entire house. Be very careful with using ones that redecorate your house though, because your house is made up of a series of interconnected images, and some mods extend over two rooms. Some mods can be found at the Last Day at Work website. Go to the page where they list all the forums and scroll down to the bottom. You'll see the mod forums there. Pick the one for Virtual Families and you're off! You can do an internet search for mods in other places.
As always, I caution anyone who uses mods in this game, back up your original image files before doing anything! If something goes wrong, you need those files to restore the game to factory settings.
Ok here is how to use the mods:
Start by goint to this link:
Then you need to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. You will see a forum called virtual families mods. This is a screen shot that you need to click on:
After you are in the mod forum look for the post named "Instalation instructions for graphic mods"
This is a screen shot with an arrow pointing to the post you need to go to first It's very important you read this one first:
Then you are ready to give your game a new and improved look. Once you learn how to make mods you can google more mod sites.
Let me know if you need anymore help I'll do what I can.
Hope that helps.
OMG I just had to share something hilarious that just happened...
I was trying to get my family to have a 6th child (unsuccessfully). When the Mom started to walk off, the Dad bent over on the bed. Got me curious on what he was doing, so I highlighted him and he it said he was watering the flowers.... then low and behold he picks up a watering can OUT FROM UNDER THE COVERS!!!! I followed him around and sure enough he took it and watered the flowers, by the fence! Then he took the can back to the shed and put it away... but never stopped for water.
So he had hidden a full watering can under the covers, while he and his wife tried to make a baby?
Thank you for your offer to help, I was so frustrated I filled their fidges and shut them off. I got my game through HP game console, wild coins (tangent). I went to that forum and noticed several people were complaining about not getting the upgrade.
Today when I decided to check on my families(3) as it loaded it said updating, however it seems like only one may have uploaded as when I shut them all down, no family had over $1000, and today my one family had $3500, and they all had energy, and there was more action in the yard and house, and they seemed to want to work more. The other two are the same tired, don't want to work.
What do you think? Also, these mods, when you say back up my files, do you mean to a cd, remember I am the computer dummy
Thanks Fibrocat
Okay, I am having too much fun playing dress-up with my families. Here's my seventh generation family, sharing a nice family lunch on a rainy day.

If you look in your c: drive in the folder "Program Files" (if you are running windows) you will find the folder for Virtual Families. In there are several folders including one called "Images". This folder contains all the artwork that makes up Virtual Families, backgrounds, collectibles, people, store items, etc. What you need to do is create another folder in the Virtual Families folder called "Images Backup" and copy all of the files in "Images" into this folder. This will be your backup. Then you can download mods and put them into your "Images" folder. Do not put the mods into the "Images Backup" folder. The "Images Backup" folder needs to hold the original art images in case you need to restore the game to its original settings.
Hope that clears things up.
Shhhq -
The same thing just happened to me! This time, though, the mother pulled a watering can out of the middle of the bed (insert your own joke here) and went off to water the flower pots down by the gate. I've never seen this before!
I managed to capture two screen shots:
The whole making a baby thing can be funny. Earlier today, the husband got on the bed and started jumping and kissing, while the woman was still using the petals, and by the time she got on the bed, he was off. He was in the kids room looking for laundry when she had her baby, lol!
In one of my families, the wife is sixty five with an almost full health bar, perhaps she'll hit seventy.
I saw some of the recent screen shots and was wondering if maybe I downloaded an older version of the game. I bought it from Big Fish on May 26. The bars at the bottom and on the side are not see-through for me, and your beds look a lot different from mine. I also noticed that Details screen is completely different. Is there something I'm missing?
Becky -
First, you need to quit out of Virtual Families. Do not try to install mod files while the game is running! If those are image mods, then you need to make sure they are named properly (see Pam's post of 5:15 pm) and then copied into the Images folder of Virtual Families. But only after you have created a backup folder for Images! If your images are backed up, then copy the downloaded mod into the Image file. It will tell you there is already one with that name and do you want to replace. The answer is yes. Then, when you go back into the game, your mod should show up.
Oh! Look at my turtle sleeping in the bathtub! First time the turtle has done anything cute.
I have a couple that are I think in their 50s now. They both want children and I have been trying since they got married when they were in their 20s to get a baby. They always go try to make a baby but have never had one. Why??? I don't want the game to end, that's total crap since I have been fixing the house & stuff. What are the chances of an orphan coming along?? Thanks!
To Eazy and Trinci:
We're already working on a spreadsheet showing all of the careers, along with their starting and ending salaries. Trinci, I'm not sure your theory is correct about the pay scales being the same. While doing research for this project, I found three occupations that start at 45, but they each had a different ending salary.
Just be certain, we'll make sure the name of the career, the beginning salary, and the ending salary (maxed at level 8 Master) are all put onto the list. Once it's complete, we'll post the link to the spreadsheet as part of the walkthrough section.
Eazy, go ahead and post any of your ending salaries here on this thread and I'll grab them up and add them to the list.
Thanks to everyone who plans to participate!
Pam -
I think myself that the pay scale rule is constant for some and wildly variable for others. For instance, every person I've had that started at a $15 salary has always topped out at $690. Every person I've had that started out at $90 has topped out at $300. On the other hand, people who have started out at $45 ended up with top salaries that are variable. I don't know if we have enough data yet but that's my theory.
sorry if this posts twice - my computer froze up the first time:
ok, first here's the pay info I have (sorry, but I've only kept track of ending salaries out of simple curiousity):
publicist - 270
dry fruit packager - 285
spice mixer - 300
online gold farmer - ?
dress maker - 285
pesto sauce creator - 690
programmer - 420
pastry designer - 300
rocket scientist - 300
personal cook - 420
jewelry maker - 690
and currently working on:
dental tool maker
fairytail writer
magazine editor
toy maker
I had a family where she was the rocket scientist and he was the personal cook. I found it highly amusing that he ended up making more than she did. I don't know, I guess I just picture 'rocket scientist' as one of the top careers out there!
[Edit: Spoiler tags added. -Pam]
@Shauna - tried it - my father had a "nature calling" issue two times in a row - he came out the toilet the first time, wanted to work on his career and middle of the way "nature was calling" the second time.
Maybe the imported candy is really not the very best choice ;)
Something strange happened earlier today to one of my couples, when they tried to make a baby. While he was still dancing on front of the bed, she stepped on it, had kind of fun with herself, had the baby and left to get a drink. While the other kids came in to get the present out of the closet, he was still trying to make a baby. I didn't want to interrupt him... you never know, wonders might happen ;)))

Recent models of some Android smart phones contain a sensor that could go a long way toward improving weather forecasts and issuing alerts when conditions are about to turn severe.
The phones, mostly Android 3 phones, have atmospheric pressure sensors, essentially barometers, that if connected could provide a far-reaching, detailed view of weather conditions. Canadian software company Cumulonimbus is doing just that with an app called PressureNet.
The app was launched in late 2011 by developers Jacob Sheehy and Phil Jones, who were at first reluctant to release the data they were collecting because they hadn't asked for permission from users, according to a report in MIT Technology Review. But a recent upgrade includes a pop-up explaining the app and giving users the option to opt out.
PressureNet collects barometer readings from the phones and sends them to a data center that serves the information to meteorologists and organizations so they can better study and more accurately predict the weather. The 3.0 version enables Cumulonimbus to provide a live stream of raw data to those scientists and forecasters.
The possibility of millions of phones delivering barometric pressure to a central source would be a significant development in forecasting, according to Cliff Mass, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Washington, who is helping to test the system, Technology Review reported.
"The implications are huge, particularly since surface pressure is a uniquely valuable meteorological observation," Mass wrote in a blog post explaining how the data can be used. One graphic on his page shows the severe drop in air pressure in the New York area as Hurricane Sandy made landfall.
The atmospheric sensors currently are mostly on Android 3 phones such as the Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note II, Nexus 4, Nexus 10 and Xoom, Mass wrote, pointing out that millions of the phones have been sold just in the United States.
It's not hard to image agencies such as the National Weather Service and NASA incorporating this kind of data into their data collections, forecasts and severe-weather warnings. In 2011, for examples, NWS completed a pilot program using weather sensors on Greyhound buses as part of a larger project to refine its observations.
The first live streams from PressureNet will be under way shortly. Cumulonimbus is currently building a Pressurenet API, which will be made available as soon as possible from the company's website.
This website also features the new Pressurenet Visualization, which shows the barometer readings for the past few days in a graph below a Google map. When users zoom into the map, the graph changes to only show the reading in that area. This is an improvement over the old view, which had barometer symbols scattered over a map. The company said it hopes to improve the visualization further by having a map with isobars (lines connecting points of the same atmospheric pressure), but that will be in aa future version.

Discussion in 'Science Fiction & Fantasy' started by JacksonArcher, Oct 27, 2010.
Yay, this thread made it to 4000 posts.
And how exactly does this refute any point I made? He still made the statements before Rush and the overall story was still reported in other places before Rush.
I'm done arguing. It's all off topic anyway.
You're hallucinating. What comments have I made about TDKR?
Sorry; I know my taste and I know what I think.
That it's running time was too long for starters.
Oh. Well, I didn't intend that as a judgment regarding the film's content, just as an expression of personal preference regarding running times.
Now that I've seen the movie, I know that this piano piece was not a part of the film score. Does anyone know what it's from?
Looks like that is music from one of the bonus tracks.
Isn't it time for a mod to lock this topic?
Probably. Like a week ago. *Shrugs*.
I'm going to miss this thread.
I have the bonus music (at least all of the tracks Wikipedia lists) but I'm pretty sure that piano piece isn't part of it.
I just bought the novel. Can't wait to read it. It will be like watching the movie with deleted scenes
^Greg said his novelization is amazingly close to the movie. Apparently the script he was given was followed pretty closely by Nolan.
emh...I've listened to the score about a million times now (it feels like it) the piano music is there.
Okay, I admit I've only listened to it a couple of times. Do know which track it is?
Most likely "Mind if I Cut In". I swear it's in there because one of the things that I have loved most about the score is the use of piano in that specific track. Pretty sure it is from the trailer in question.
I know it's already been said, but...YAAYYY, GREG!!!
Is that one of those novelizations that end right in the middle of the movie? Too many movie novelizations have done that over the years, the latest was The Avengers. It pisses me off so much because it ends up being a complete waste of time.
Greg's novelization is not that like. As mentioned above the novel follows the film very closely.
Separate names with a comma.

It contains a low power, high speed, 16-bit sampling ADC with no missing codes, an internal conversion clock, and a versatile serial interface port. The part also contains a low noise, wide bandwidth, short aperture delay track-and-hold circuit. On the CNV rising edge, it samples the voltage difference between IN+ and IN- pins. The voltages on these pins usually swing in opposite phase between 0 V and REF. The reference voltage, REF, is applied externally and can be set up to the supply voltage. Its power scales linearly with throughput.

TV producers' personal favorite finales
- %27Newhart%2C%27 of course%2C ranks highly
- The controversial %27Sopranos%27 finale gets a nod
- The last %27Seinfeld%27 probably didn%27t work so well
Television writers and producers are fans, too. As some reminisce about or prepare for their own series finales, they offer their thoughts on some of their favorite — and not-so-favorite — small-screen goodbyes (the consensus pick: Bob Newhart's masterful sleight of hand in revealing that his series, Newhart, was entirely the dream of his character from the earlier Bob Newhart Show):
-- J. H. Wyman, executive producer, Fox's Fringe: "Newhart was the greatest thing ever. It was sort of like a real thank-you for your viewership." The St. Elsewhere finale, in which the common interpretation is that the show came from the imagination of an autistic child looking at a snow globe, "was really cool."
-- Dean Devlin, executive producer, TNT's Leverage: My favorite ending of all time was Newhart. Bob told me that his wife came up with the idea, which was really awesome. ... I'm on the camp that actually loved The Sopranos' finale. I know a lot of people are upset by it, but for me, it knocked me out of my chair. It was bold and unexpected and powerful."
-- Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, executive producers, ABC's Lost: They both loved the controversial Sopranos ending, in which the screen goes black with mobster Tony Soprano's fate up in the air. Lindelof says,: "We both thought it was brilliant. We were saying this to (TV Guide critic) Matt Roush as if it were just some sort of universal truth, and he said, 'Do you realize there's this incredible debate going on where many people feel it's a complete and total copout, a ripoff?' ... That was the moment where we became resigned to the fact that our show's legacy was going to be one that was fraught with conflict and debate."
Says Cuse, "Newhart had a great ending. I think M*A*S*H had a great ending. I would say those and The Sopranos would be the most memorable to me."
Says Lindelof, "I recently watched Friday Night Lights, the entire series over the course of probably six weeks. That was a pretty incredible finale, just in terms of satisfaction level."
-- Bob Daily, executive producer, ABC's Desperate Housewives: "The Newhart ending was genius. The Sopranos ending I hated in the moment but loved in hindsight. You know what a great ending was? Six Feet Under," which revealed how all the characters would eventually die. "That was amazing given it was a show about death.."
-- Robert Carlock, executive producer, NBC's 30 Rock: Frasier did a very good job of being true to the show and having room for the kind of farcical comedy that they would do. They just stepped aside and did a wedding farce that was not moving the story forward, and they did some other things that felt like they were out of a Frasier episode. At the same time, it ended where the character made a big change. He'd gone to Chicago, instead of San Francisco, to pursue Laura Linney, who was playing his love interest at the time. So you ended with this thing of, 'Oh, he went from Boston (on Cheers) to Seattle. Now he's made this other change.' It felt very much in keeping with the larger narrative of the show and if felt like an episode of the show.."
-- Greg Daniels, executive producer, NBC's The Office: "Probably Newhart's the best. I think that was the cleverest show finale. It was all dark at first ... and then they turned on the light. And you're like, 'Oh my God, that's the old set.' "
-- Shawn Ryan, executive producer, ABC's Last Resort: "A show I worked on previously, Angel, I thought was a really good one. I thought Six Feet Under was really great. Cheers was a finale I thought got it pretty right. Seinfeld was a good example of one that didn't work. They completely changed their show. Instead of doing a half hour, they did an hour and a half. Instead of really telling a story, they decided it would be a greatest hits where we're going to bring back all these guest stars we've loved over the years and elicit laughs from past episodes. Curb Your Enthusiasm did a sort of new finale for Seinfeld, which was much better. I was not a big fan of The Sopranos finale. I'm not even talking about the final scene or what that blackout meant. I just didn't think much interesting happened. I thought the episode that preceded it, the second to last, was really, really good, and that the finale was a bit of a letdown."

In my view the "Perl Elitist code" is often going to be more terse because it uses modules and idioms. Further, because it was that kind of day at work where I have to maintain 12 year-old "functional code," I'll add: the "elitist" code is also not going to bite you in the ass viciously, repeatedly, and in dozens of minorly differing iterations because it was actually written to be general purpose, testable, and reusable. Hell, I hear tell the elitists are even known to use revision control. From time to time.

Imagine sending mail through the postal system in a clear envelope. Anyone with access to it can see the data. If it looks valuable, they might take it or change it. An SSL Certificate establishes a private communication channel enabling encryption of the data during transmission. Encryption scrambles the data, essentially creating an envelope for message privacy. At its most basic, the SSL certificate gives a reasonable assurance that the entity you are connecting to is who they say they are.Get a discount on your SSL purchase when combining it with our Professional Hosting

Japan may lend support to Greece bailout plan
Joachim de Villiers and Lee Jay Walker
Modern Tokyo Times
The European debt crisis and the inability of the American government to solve the unemployment crisis and to support the dollar, means that Japan may once more buy more Eurobonds and step-in and give support to Greece. This may seem ironic, after all, Japan's debt is enormous and is also problematic but the reserves of this nation remain strong.
Also, the strengthening yen and growing debt and unemployment crisis in America and Europe is setting off alarm bells in Japan. After all, Japan relies heavily on exports and the yen rate is creating enormous problems.
Japan also knows that the European market and American market are very important for Japanese companies and it appears that the government is thinking about the long-term. Therefore, providing a feasible plan is put on the table the government of Japan will help Greece which is in dire straits at the moment.
Greece is being forced to adopt austerity measures but many workers are increasingly disillusioned and many mass demonstrations have broken out. Also, it isn't only about Greece because several other European nations have major problems and some banks in France have come under close scrutiny.
Jun Azumi, Finance Minister, is clearly alarmed by the rise of the yen, the weakness of the Nikkei, export related issues and other global problems which are collectively leading to mass economic instability.
Jun Azumi commented that "If there is a scheme that is based on a firm process, involves a reasonable amount of money and could provide the world and markets with a sense of security regarding a Greek bailout, I would not rule out the possibility of Japan sharing some of the burden."
It appears that European leaders and America are at a loss about what to do and the wait and see approach and tentative moves haven't solved anything. The more America and the European Union do little then confidence in both currencies goes further down and this means that more investors will flock to the yen.
This is a nightmare for Japan because exporters are feeling the crunch already and the longevity of the crisis because of the ineptness of both America and the European Union is clear for all to see.
The British government is trying to decrease spending and focus on restoring economic order. Therefore, while economic measures in the United Kingdom may not be popular, at least the methodology is better than President Obama's logic. This applies to more borrowing and racking up a huge debt burden for future generations.
Japan's economic system is far from perfect but it somehow keeps on ticking and the reserves of the nation are a blessing. However, while America sits on its feet and does little to ease global pressure, the government of Japan is willing to help the European Union providing plans have a firm foundation.

We ate at Sizzler's years ago. The boys got balloons. I don't know what the occasion was. Maybe they gave away balloons to the people who ate the most in the history of their restaurant. I can't remember. All I remember is that I ate way too much that night...

Exhibit A:
French Toast made with cinnamon swirl bread topped with strawberries. And Earl Grey tea.
Please help me make sense of the fact that I have never had Earl Grey tea before yesterday. It just doesn't make sense to me. Oh, the blossoming love I have for Earl Grey. It was just right. Or maybe I'm just feeling extra British over the recent hours Cory and I have spent immersed in Downton.
I have a crush on Mr. Bates. I like how he always looks like he's smirking, even when he's sad.
I also have a crush on Earl, but you already knew that.
Exhibit B:
Ruby was instantly overcome with sequins envy. Little did I know that they would foreshadow the rest of my morning because.....
Yesterday marked the start of the town-wide garage sale. And I hit the Mother Load at the third stop: A bag of vintage linen calendar towels for uno buckaroolio. I confirmed that it was $1 for the whole bag and I ran. I didn't count them. I didn't even peek through the stack.
For the rest of the morning I thought fondly about the moment after my kids were tucked away for quiet time and I could see exactly what it was that I had in my hot hands. Because the oddest part about it all is that I've never owned a calendar towel nor had the desire to do so.
Long story short, the guy came to clean the carpets and quiet time never really happened and I rummaged through the stack of TWENTY THREE towels on the (carpeted, naturally) breeze-way floor.
I'm still a bit conflicted over what I found.
1978, I'll dream only of you tonight.
Also, thanks for Cory.
1974, you make me want to believe in red again.
Exhibit C:
"Hello, I'm calling to see if you could bring a mock apple pie to the pitch-in on Sunday evening."
"I don't know, let me check my towel."
This concludes my exhaustive lecture series on indigenous hippie textiles of Midwestern America, circa 1974-1988.
What's your most exciting garage sale score?
ps - Mad, mad props to homegirl Angie, who secured our third bar stool! The stars have aligned and next week, we'll meet for the very first time over chips and salsa to make the hand-off. I love this world we live in. That is all. I have a date with Mr. Bates.

The unavoidable side effect is huge dinners, festivities and parties offering dips, chips and rich foods, sweet delicacies and free-flowing libations.Between the holiday parties, family gatherings, travel and temptations, this time of year can take a toll on your waistline. In fact, some studies estimate that the average American gains 7 to 10 pounds during the holidays and then spends the better half of the next year trying to take it off. But it doesn't have to be that way. It is possible to celebrate and indulge in moderation without sabotaging your health and wellness efforts.On Wednesday, Aria Club and Atwater on Gore Creek are hosting the first "Eat, Drink & Be Merry" healthy holiday eating seminar at the Vail Cascade Resort.

Vail Resorts' cancellation of cloud seeding this winter could mean less water in streams

Nationals call up Roark, send Cedeno to Triple-A
WASHINGTON -- Tanner Roark knew on Sunday that he would soon be leaving Triple-A Syracuse to join the Nationals, but he was told to keep the news quiet. He told his parents and his fiancee, but otherwise was forced to wait until the move was officially announced.
That moment came on Tuesday, when the team optioned reliever Xavier Cedeno to Syracuse and transferred Ross Detwiler to the 60-day disabled list to make room for Roark on the 40-man roster. The 26-year-old right-hander said the news is only just beginning to sink in.
"It's so surreal," he said before Tuesday's game against the Braves. "At first when I got the call and [Syracuse manager] Tony Beasley told me, I was like, 'Wow. OK, this is what I dreamed for.' And then it started to sink in."
Roark, who was acquired from the Rangers in exchange for Cristian Guzman in 2010, was 9-3 with a 3.15 ERA in 33 appearances (11 starts) at Triple-A this season.
Manager Davey Johnson views Roark as a replacement for Ross Ohlendorf, who went on the 15-day disabled list on Sunday with right shoulder inflammation. Johnson said that Roark will also be a candidate to start when Taylor Jordan is shut down for the season if Ohlendorf and Detwiler are both still on the disabled list.
"[We] just need some more innings," Johnson quipped.
Roark acknowledged that coming out of the bullpen takes a different mentality, but he doesn't have a preference between starting and relieving.
"As long as I'm up on the mound and I can compete and pitch, that's all I worry about," he said.

Pro-Koch Op-ed Betrays Claim of "journalistic integrity"
Koch Industries, which has dumped tens of millions of dollars into organizations that deny climate science, also wields its influence through a network of media operatives that are now shielding the private conglomorate from criticism.
In a dismissal of the questionable connection between Koch Industries and Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, the Wall Street Journal's James Taranto recently defended the dubious political wrangling of the Koch brothers while chastizing its critics, namely Common Cause. Common Cause organized the recent protest in Rancho Mirage, California outside of the ritzy resort Charles Koch selected as a haven for undemocratic scheming.
What is ironic about Taranto's pro-Koch piece is his offense to the Wall Street Journal's editorial page being considered biased (it clearly is, as you would expect from a Rupert Murdoch business), while the WSJ editorial board actually has a direct connection to Koch Industries itself.
Stephen Moore, who sits with Taranto on the Wall Street Journal editorial board and is an economic pundit on TV networks, attended the secretive gathering hosted by Charles Koch in Aspen, Colorado last June. In fact, it was Moore who revealed in a 2006 interview with Charles Koch that these meetings exist.
As outlined in a forthcoming Greenpeace report, Moore has ties to the Cato Institute, co-founded by Charles Koch, and the Heritage Foundation, which have each received millions of dollars from Koch foundations since 1997. Moore has provided an explicit voice in the fabricated non-debate over climate science, where scientists are pinned against industry talking points and cherrypicked data (see clip provided by ThinkProgress).
The Wall Street Journal's opinion section has also served as host to prominent climate obstructionists, such as Bjorn Lomborg and scientists-for-hire Richard Lindzen and Patrick Michaels. Lindzen and Michaels are deeply integrated into Koch- and Exxon-funded think tanks such as Cato, the George C. Marshall Institute, Tech Central Station and the Heartland Institute. Michaels is currently being scrutinized after he apparently under-reported his financial backing by coal and oil companies during a presentation before Congress.
Taranto also cites Jonathan Adler from the National Review Online to attack Common Cause. Adler has links to the Koch- and Exxon-funded Federalist Society (which paid for the Justices Thomas and Scalia attendance at a secret Koch meeting), Competitive Enterprise Institute, and the Property and Environment Research Center.
Oh, and Adler's connection as a blogger for the National Review Online adds another connection to Koch Industries--NRO senior editor Ramesh Ponnuru attended the Koch meeting in Aspen last June, just as Stephen Moore did. Moore also contributes to the National Review.
...that must have been what Taranto meant by adhering to the "highest standards of journalistic integrity."
For more on Koch Industries' connections to media outlets, check out Kate Sheppard's recent piece in Mother Jones, and keep your eyes peeled for more details from Greenpeace.

Since December 4th, there have been a number of reports (here, here and via email) that TripAdvisor reviews are not showing in Google Places. A quick search of the Maps index shows this in fact to be the case with TripAdvisor reviews not showing on the Places page for any hotel or B&B searched.
Obviously TripAdvisor plays a huge role in the hospitality industry and the syndication of their reviews to Google has a big impact there as well. I received this email from Su at the Inn at Tanglewood Hall in York Harbor, ME.
It is unclear whether we are seeing a bug in Places that is preventing reviews from showing up or whether TripAdvisor and Google are having a disagreement about Google's right to show them. Both possibilities have their precedence, with 3rd prty reviews coming and going due to both bugs and battles… I have emailed both TripAdvisor and Google for clarification but as of publication had not heard back.TripAdvisor Reviews Missing from Google Places - Bug or Kerfuffle? by Mike Blumenthal

I would have thought that between the Star Trek movies and Heroes, Zachary Quinto would be recognized pretty quickly if he walked down a crowded street. I also would have thought that if you went down that street and asked people if they liked Star Trek, there'd be at least one in 10 who did. Unfortunately, as Quinto found out while on a episode of Bill Eichner's Funny or Die series "Billy on the Street," that doesn't appear to be the case.
