But I wouldn't replace Volstad. With the rotation as it is now, Rusin is seventh on my depth chart (behind the current five and Travis Wood). If the Cubs deal a pitcher or two at the trade deadline (Garza and Maholm?), I think Rusin should be one of the guys who comes up.
As for Volstad, I haven't seen enough of him to give up on him yet. When he came to the Cubs, he was billed as a ground ball pitcher. So far, though, his GO/AO is just 1.00. That's way below his career average of 1.48. I'd like to see what he can do when he gets his ground ball inducing stuff going before I ship him off to Iowa.

What? Spencer, you don't like Volstad?!?!
Luke, do you think Chris Rusin is MLB ready? Maybe not for the whole season, but what about as a filler in case someone went down for 2-3 weeks or someone got sent down to work on their stuff? Read: Would Rusin be an acceptable replacement for Volstad?
I know. I've been so quiet about it, right??

If the Cubs deal a pitcher or two at the trade deadline (Garza and Maholm?)
Do you think Maholm is potential trade bait? I hope not... in my annual Cubs vs. Sox Prop Bet I have with a White Sox fan friend (uhh, is that possible?), one of the categories is the Triple Crown (Pitchers), where we each pick three pitchers who then compete in 3 sub categories... If Maholm could potentially exit the Cubs organization, I'm in a world of hurt, as my three selections are Dempster, Garza and Maholm. I could be left without a single survivor in July... Not good!

What's your guess on the next Cub to make his debut this season?
Any chance we see Rusin or Beliveau up soon? I think they could really help our bullpen out.

Anthony Rizzo will be up this year, but we have a lot of baseball to play before then.

I like Batista, but I wouldn't put him on a top prospects list. He doesn't have any standout pitches. He doesn't even have that great of stuff according to the scouts, but he does work efficiently and get outs. Since he does a nice job getting grounders (in addition to strikeouts when he needs them) I think he'll do alright in the majors. I don't think he'll be a major league closer... as nice as that sounds right about now... but I could see him being a valuable mix of the seventh or eighth inning puzzle.
It'll be interesting to see how he is doing in Iowa in another six weeks. I don't expect to see him in Chicago this season (except maybe Sept. (barring an injury)) but I think he could be one of the stories next spring.

Not a problem. It was a last minute question as I was getting ready to leave for the park. I knew I wasn't going to be able to look it up myself (wrangling a 8, 6 and 6 month old (not to mention the wife)).
I wish I had checked here earlier. You are no doubt at the game by now.
Hopefully you had / are having a great time.
We had a great time. We purchased tickets at the gate and got row L right in front of the pitchers mound in the bullpen up the 1st base line. The crowd was a lot larger than I thought it would be (it's been 10 years since I last went). It felt like a Cubs game. Both starting pitchers shut down the offenses. Then came the bull pens and they started to score some runs. There were a couple of home runs that were pulled foul, and a couple of pick-offs at 1st base. All in all a good time with the cherry on top being the fireworks after the game.

What are your thoughts about Taiwan Easterling. He seems to have a good day every time I see a Cheifs Boxscore
Posted 07 June 2012 - 10:35 PM
Hey Luke,
What are your thoughts about Taiwan Easterling. He seems to have a good day every time I see a Cheifs Boxscore
Easterling caught me by surprise last season. He was drafted in the middle rounds and signed quickly... under the old CBA, that combination did not usually point to a notable prospect. And then he went on a tear and finished the season in High A Daytona. Needless to say, he got my attention.
There is some potential there, I think. While he has a little power, I think his game is going to be about getting on base and using his speed. In that regard he is similar to Evan Crawford and Pin-Chieh Chen. I've heard no complaints about his defense in center, and I strongly suspect he could handle any of the outfield slots.
Long term, I think his best path to the majors as is a fourth or fifth outfielder. I don't see him as a potential regular starter, but he is the kind of guy teams could like to have on the bench. He has a ways to go in order to reach that goal, though. I wouldn't bet on him at this stage, but I wouldn't count him out either.

Luke, What is Shawon Dunston's ceiling?
Major league starting center fielder and lead off hitter. I'm not sure how good of a starting center fielder just yet, nor am I sure how likely he is to reach that ceiling, but that's the ceiling.
Reports are that Dunston has impressed some people in extend spring training. The Cubs knew he was a good athlete, but it turns out he may be more polished as a baseball player than they expected him to be at this stage.
But keep in mind... it's extended spring training. Stats from Ext ST, like regular spring training, are virtually worthless.

WVU to have limited beer sales at basketball games
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- West Virginia University will offer limited beer sales at its men's basketball games this season.
WVU athletic director Oliver Luck said Thursday that sales will be offered in the Coliseum's Statler Club Lounge area. No beer sales will be conducted in the general concession and seating areas, and beer won't be permitted outside the club lounge area.
Patrons will be required to show identification and be limited to two beers per purchase. Sales will start 90 minutes before tip-off and conclude at the end of halftime. Luck says controlled beer sales at football games have gone well and enabled the university to look at other licensed venues to offer the same service. He calls the Statler Club area a "suitable environment" for beer sales because it's restricted to club patrons.

I am trying to find someone who has successfully installed a snow melting system under a concrete walkway. We are redoing our front step & walkway and adding on a small patio using colored/stamped concrete. Total sq ft is around 300. Would an electric snow melting "mat" be really expensive to run? We live in MN... Could I just put the mat under the walkway and step and not the patio? Or would I end up with ice on the patio...
Several options available. Just have to decide which is right for your application.
Just remember that by only doing a portion will allow some to melt and run to another area and then freeze.
where will the water go on the walkway? if there is no outlet, it will melt, skim ice, and eventually be a mat of ice and water that grows all winter.
if you are melting the walk, there will have to be a drain.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
i have installed snow melt under driveways, side walks, and patios. also installed it under a escalator in aspen
[only one in north america]
but,, my expertise is limited to hydronic snow melt not electrical. when melted, the water sheds off the concrete
like rain water does, because the concrete is sloped to drain it away. ice on the grass.
your answer depends on weather or not ice/snow accumulates on the patio or not. if it does. then you will have ice. slope walk ways away from building and patio. slope patio also
you can, install mat in just the "traffic" area of the patio. as long as power is on it will not slick over. but when you turn it off.
in my humble opinion. elec snow melt is to expensive to run. i would not do it. hydronic
run tubing under the walk and patio, install a water heater, with a circ pump.>closed system, with 10% glycol. pipe heater in the top. out the bottom.regulate with aqua state, turn w/h stat up. po-boy snow meltThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Frodo,

"Avoid foolish questions." {#Tit 3:9}
Our days are few, and are far better spent in doing good, than in disputing over matters which are, at best, of minor importance. The old schoolmen did a world of mischief by their incessant discussion of subjects of no practical importance; and our Churches suffer much from petty wars over abstruse points and unimportant questions. After everything has been said that can be said, neither party is any the wiser, and therefore the discussion no more promotes knowledge than love, and it is foolish to sow in so barren a field. Questions upon points wherein Scripture is silent; upon mysteries which belong to God alone; upon prophecies of doubtful interpretation; and upon mere modes of observing human ceremonials, are all foolish, and wise men avoid them. Our business is neither to ask nor answer foolish questions, but to avoid them altogether; and if we observe the apostle's precept (#Tit 3:8) to be careful to maintain good works, we shall find ourselves far too much occupied with profitable business to take much interest in unworthy, contentious, and needless strivings.
There are, however, some questions which are the reverse of foolish, which we must not avoid, but fairly and honestly meet, such as these: Do I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ? Am I renewed in the spirit of my mind? Am I walking not after the flesh, but after the Spirit? Am I growing in grace? Does my conversation adorn the doctrine of God my Saviour? Am I looking for the coming of the Lord, and watching as a servant should do who expects his master? What more can I do for Jesus? Such enquiries as these urgently demand our attention; and if we have been at all given to cavilling, let us now turn our critical abilities to a service so much more profitable. Let us be peacemakers, and endeavour to lead others both by our precept and example, to "avoid foolish questions."

Had an order of the Lettuce Cups (~$8): crispy, leafy lettuce with a peanut-tofu blend filling. Food was delicious, staff was happy, and the ambiance was mysterious.
PS: Name of restaurant might actually be "22 Doors"...
Good Saturday Brunch – Had brunch there on a spur of the moment decision due to
the extreme long wait to get a table at Coastal Kitchen on a saturday at 1:30 pm. All six of us ordered different selections from the brunch menu and everyone was happy with the food. I had the Crabcake Eggs Benedict and they were very good. Others at the table had the Corned Beef Hash and the Farmer's breakfast. They all looked great and tasted great. The service was excellent.
Drink prices are high, so I would inquire about happy hours.
Also, there is a nice covered outdoor patio with heaters that looks like a great place to take a date or a group of friends during the evening. Now that I know about
22 Doors I would totally visit again.
What's not to love about cocktails on the patio? – I recently returned here and enjoyed the patio, cocktails, and friendly service. I'm already planning the next trip back!
Great drink (if a bit pricey), but the food is always a downer – I popped into 22 doors last night to have a cocktail and grab a bit to eat. The drink was great, but the food was terribly disappointing. I got the grilled cheese and butternut squash soup appetizer. The sandwich was fine, but the soup was horrifying. It had the consistance of water and tasted like undercook potatos. It would take a lot to convince me that it had any squash in it at all!
Amateur hour... – People seem to like this place for drinks, and I have been once at night and had an alright experience. However, I highly recommend you give the brunch a miss. Firstly, the decor is all over the map and doesn't present well in daylight. I've been twice, the first time they over cooked the eggs in my eggs benedict (hard as a rock, I'd asked for them runny) when they brought me a new plate, this time the eggs were barely cooked, the whites were transparent in parts, yuck! How about somewhere in between? It's an egg, who can't cook an egg? We tried again last weekend and my husband was told what he wanted wasn't available, so he ordered pancakes, but with regular butter, not the orange butter they use. They came with the orange butter. Try again. They come back with another stack, regular butter this time, but no syrup. He had to get up from the table to find a waitperson to ask for the syrup. They bring it, but it turns out to be honey. Hunt for waitperson again. We're told they are out of syrup and that's what the kitchen came up with. They're across the street from a QFC, send someone over! Gaaack. No wonder people wait for 40 minutes to get into Coastal Kitchen rather then go to 22 Doors where there's no wait. Next time I'll do the same.
The only place I haven't left a tip in 10 years – Wow, this place was really a bummer. Poor food and worse service. I went when they first opened and thought maybe it was just a fluke, went back about 2 weeks ago for brunch. My huevos rancheros tasted like the beans came from a mix and the eggs were totally hard boiled! We could never get the waiter to return and they had plenty of staff for the size. Too bad, it would be nice to have another good option up there.
New gun in the kitchen. Lovely Staff. – Well I don't know where these negative reviews come from. I tried to see if they were just cranks and decided they were. As an owner you sure hate to see someone walk away mad from your place and then get thier frustrations out online. It should be easy to discern hooey from real life though if you just pay attention. Anyone whose only written one review EVER and uses phrase like " I've had better service at Ihop" is just out for revenge and hopes to do a business harm. Probably an ex-employee who got CAUGHT ripping the place off or SLEEPING on his/her shift. (you know who you are) So.. read reviews with a grain of salt. You don't have to actually like food or people to write a review on citysearch. Too bad.
Maybe reviewers should have a TRUST rating given them by other reviewers or something?
Great cocktails, outstanding french fries, mediocre entree – I ordered the flank steak medium, and my girlfriend ordered her burger medium rare. Both came to our table well done. The flank steak was more like chuck, and I couldn't chew more than half of it before I ran out of energy. I ended up taking it home but handing it off to someone who was asking for food. But the cocktails were lovely: my girlfriend had the blueberry mojito and thought she'd died and gone to heaven. And the fries are truly excellent. Our friend both had veggie burgers, which they apparently make by hand--they were really good and came with the fabulous fries. That's what I would order if I go back for more than cocktails. The atmosphere was nice, though. And although I know others have had less than stellar service, our server was very attentive and thoughtful. Overall, I'll go back for drinks but only order food if I'm lazy and don't want to go elsewhere after a few drinks.
Good for a Cocktail with Date – I went here on a date and we each had two martinis. It was average, I don't remember anything overly good or bad about the place.
Service was slow, in fact pathetic! Never coming back! – I decided to give it one last try at 22 Doors and I really wish I had not. Service was pretentious and slow as if they were doing me a favor by waiting on me. I really have to say I will never come back here nor recomend it to anyone. I have had better service at the IHOP if that explains anything to you. I wish I would have read the reviews of 22 Doors before coming back, that many people cant be wrong.
I will say that I hope to enjoy your fries somewhere else one day, maybe the chef will take them to a much frendlier environment to be enjoyed once again.
Sad to see a place ruined by the staff, I wont be back.

I was very unhappy with this purchase. I have other Soft Style shoes that are very comfortable. But, after wearing these for the first time I was left with blisters on both feet. By the end of the day I was hobbling around.
We are so sorry to hear this. The Soft Style line is known for its comfort. Soon our team will be in touch to see what we can do. Thank you for your review.

Daily 11am-12am
Neighborhoods: Chinatown, Downtown
WOW – Incredible food. Advised to go there by a cop at the WTC rebuild. Excellent food, great prices. Will be going back for sure
Best damn dumplings period. – I love this place the food is the best ever!!! I have eating in some nice places, upscale places as well and not one can stand up to this one. Their fried pork dumpings are mouth watering; the peanut butter and scallion flavors awaken your taste buds right away. If you love great chinese at a reasonable price this is it. You may get a little discouraged from the decor which says nothing about the food; but trust me, you'll forget all about that. the fact that the batroom is way down stairs and its as big as a shoe box may make you want to have a bottle of sanitizer close buy. But over all this is my favorite place hands down, were going to pig out there this weekend forsure.
Alright. – I live in Chinatown, so I've tried most of the food there. It's a mediocre restaurant for me. The rice cakes aren't that flavorful, and I'm not a big fan of their shaw lou bao. I've eaten many Shanghai restaurant, this one isn't that great or that bad. The place seems to be filled with tourists though, so they must really enjoy it. I prefer to eat at Joe's Shanghai.
The best Chinese food I have had in a long time – The culture is interesting - Shared tables. You come in by yourself and they seat you with others.
The food is very tasty. I liked the pork dumplings a lot. They also had some unusual soups and bean dishes.
The fried fish I had was very tasty as well. The cold sesame noodles were also very nice.
I always take my friends and relatives from out of town there whenever they are in the city.
Maybe the worst I've ever had? – Considering that I am Chinese, the food here for me was disgusting. There was a bad drift of air that smelled like bad tomatoes from the kitchen. The service wasn't horrible. The sweet and sour soup was too sour and tasted like it has been sitting for a while. Highly not recommended.
How could Green Bo be number one? – I mean really? Good scallion pancakes, good pork and scallion dumplings, good hot and sour soup, everything else on the menu is subpar chinese buffet quality tray warmed grease. I was so shocked to see this place ranked in the top ten we had to go back and lo and behold it disappointed once again. Not only is the food quality extremely low and tasteless, the restaurant os so dismal and depressing, it's a wonder more people don't walk out on sight. The mint green walls and idle staff are ample forewarning of the meal ahead. The general's chicken was greasy and cold, the soup dumplings bland and mushy, the beef Chowf Fun and chewy greasy mess, beef and broccoli was tough and stringy. The staff here is so terse and inconsiderate, but who would blame them with such ignorant customers. What's more shocking is that with so many great restaurants such a short jaunt away like Peking Duck House or Hop Lee or Grand Sichuan that people would subject themselves to such mediocrity. As someone who has eaten at many of the restaurants in chinatown and some of the more notorious haunts in midtown, uws and ues, i have to say this is one of the restaurants to put at the bottom of the list. I might almost recommend you try it just to see how erroneous this rating is. Nice Green Bo, LMAO! HA!
Has gone down hill – I use to love this place. My family has been eating there for at least 5+ years. My last experience was miserable. I will say the food usually is fast an excellent. This time the dish that typically took 30 minutes to come out (peking duck) was the first to come out. The other dishes, chicken and broculli and broculli and garlic sauce came out later. As the waiter started to prepare the peking duck wraps at the table he knocked a can of soda onto my wife. As those at the table were scrambling for napkins, he continued to prepare the meal. I asked him to stop and get a towel and napkins. Instead of stopping, he continued to prepare the duck wraps and yelled to someone else to get them, they came back with 4 napkins. He never replaced the soda. The rest of the food came and was subpar compared to where is has been in the past. It has gone down hill over the years. At the end of the meal the bill was $70, in the past we had never had a bill more then $50 and we order the same food. We asked for an explaination and wasn't given one. They billed us for the soda as well. We did not tipped well because of the extremely poor service. As we were outside the waiter came out and yelled at us for the lack of tip.
Poor food, poorer service. I would not recommend this place.
bad service, average cuisine, over rated – The waiters are a bit rude. We traveled all the way from Chicago to try good food. We go to them just based on reviews we've seen. But they are way over-rated. We ordered the dumplings just to try how it taste, before we order more. We don't want to waste our appetite on average food. If it does not taste good enough, we will go to another restaurant. The waiters keep on pushing us to order more, and looks at us with a skeptical eye. "That's it? That's it?" He kept on saying. We were really disappointed when the dumplings were served. They were small, and rather dry. If you are serious about good food and dumplings, I highly recommend the Joe's Shanghai in the Pell St, just the next street down. I think Green Bo is OK, but not as good as they advertise to be.
Horrible service – I would give this restaurant less stars if I could. My friend who lives in the area went there and recommended their shanghai noodles. Upon entering, the first sign that the food would be sub-par was how the locals avoided it like the plague but it was loved by tourists and visitors. I ordered some chicken chow mein which wasn't bad, HOWEVER, before my party and I finished our meal, they slapped the check down, and started clearing our table before we were even finished! If that wasn't bad enough, they ushered in the next party (a group of tourists) and had them stand behind our table. I was finished with my meal, but my friends were still working on theirs. Then the owner, I believe it is the woman from Shanghai, STOOD IN FRONT OF OUR TABLE, GLARING AT US. I mean, literally she was pressed against the edge of our table leering down at us for a few minutes, basically signaling in not so many words, that we should pack up our food and go. It was so incredibly rude. I will never go here again, and I will tell every one I know to avoid this place unless they want to be disrespected. There is nothing "NICE" about Nice Green Bo.
WHAT HAPPENED? – My husband and I used to go to this restaurant all of the time, back when it was called "NEW" Green Bo. It was amazing, espeically the soup dumplings, which would ooze delicious "pork soup" when you bit into them. All other dishes we would order were equally amazing.
After a 6 month period of not having visited Nice Green Bo (as it is now called), we were completely disappointed. We are hoping that they were just having an off night, since we loved this place so much and made it a legend amongst all of our friends and relatives, who we would frequently take with us. The soup dumplings were completely dry, and the meat was grainy, and just not tasty at all. We also ordered the chicken with peanuts, which we used to love, and it tasted like old dishwater. We really are praying that this was just a off night and not a new chef or new ownership, because we would miss our old favorite Chinese restaurant.

The newly updated 2013 BMW X6 Sports Activity Coupe arrives in U.S. BMW Centers this spring. The world's first Sports Activity Coupe still offers a unique combination of sporty dynamics, versatility and unmatched character. Select design updates and innovative features further hone the profile of the new BMW X6 as a distinctive model within the premium segment of all-wheel-drive vehicles. Its ongoing popularity is due to both its highly expressive design, which combines the athletic and elegant lines of a coupe with the unique character of a BMW X model, and the outstanding driving experience provided by two powerful engines featuring BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology and xDrive, the intelligent all-wheel-drive system. The BMW X6 continues to offer Dynamic Performance Control which gives the Sports Activity Coupe unparalleled agility for a vehicle in this segment.
Since its market launch, more than 150,000 Sports Activity Coupes have been sold globally in the last three years with over 20,000 sold here in the U.S. This has far exceeded the original expectations. The continuing high level of demand for the BMW X6 in worldwide markets is affirmation of the ground-breaking vehicle concept of the Sports Activity Coupe.
Striking design features front and rear, adaptive LED headlamps a new option.
Precisely modified up front gives the new BMW X6 an appearance characterized by athleticism and style. The standard fog lights are now set in matte finish surrounds in the upper area of the outer air inlets. Their higher and more lateral position emphasizes the width of the vehicle. The striking three-dimensional modeling of the frame and newly designed bars, angled in the lower section, make the BMW kidney grille stand out conspicuously in the vehicle's front end. The angle of the grille bars is flush with the bottom of the headlamp units, thereby creating an additional horizontal line which likewise highlights the wide track and road-holding prowess of the new BMW X6.
As an alternative to the standard Xenon headlights, the new BMW X6 is the first vehicle in its segment to be available with adaptive LED headlights. Their bright white light ensures optimum visibility, while their high-quality appearance represents a new interpretation of the brand's hallmark twin circular headlamps. The three-dimensionally shaped luminous rings of the adaptive LED headlights are strikingly leveled off both at the top and bottom and are overlaid at the upper edge by an LED-fed accent light. The light sources for low and high beam light are LED units positioned on a horizontal bar at its center, feeding their light into the reflectors in front. With its newly designed taillights with LED technology, the powerfully shaped rear of the new BMW X6 also features more intense styling. The taillights are now two LED-fed light banks which create the brand's hallmark night design as a harmoniously glowing light mass. The fact that they are horizontally aligned and stretch far out to the sides emphasizes both the width of the vehicle and the flowing transition between the rear quarter and the tail-end.
Attractive new paint finishes, light alloy wheel and leather trim further enhance the new look.
The program of external paint finishes for the new BMW X6 consists of two non-metallic and nine metallic colors, including Marrakesh Brown metallic, Orion Silver metallic and Midnight Blue metallic. The standard equipment range of the new BMW X6 also includes a new 19-inch light alloy wheel style for the X6 xDrive50i.
The standard Nevada leather upholstery is now also available in Vermilion Red. Also available is a new Nappa Leather upholstery in Ivory White. The new BMW X6 comes standard as a four-seat model. A three-seat rear bench is available as an option. The luggage compartment volume of the Sports Activity Coupe is 25.6 cubic feet (570 liters) and can be extended up to nearly 60 cu. ft. (1,450 liters) by folding down the rear backrests.
The new BMW X6: dynamic, unparalled, efficient, innovative.
The BMW X6 will again be offered in two models in the U.S., the X6 xDrive50i which features BMW's 4.4-liter 400 hp TwinPower Turbo V8 and the X6 xDrive35i with BMW's award-winning 300 hp TwinPower Turbo inline-6. Both are mated to BMW's 8-speed automatic transmission for a unique blend of responsiveness and efficiency.
The new BMW X6: Unmatched character – refined.
The BMW X6 remains unique in the industry for its blend of style, performance and versatility. The updated 2013 model refines that character ensuring the continued success of the world's first Sports Activity Coupe.

Ok, so when the jailbreak for 1.1.3 came out, I figured I'd take the risk to finally update my iPhone since it was still running on 1.1.1.
So I restored 1.1.1, then I went through the normal jailbreak method and installed oktoprep to update to 1.1.2 before updating to 1.1.3.
For some stupid reason I accidently restored 1.1.2 instead of updating to it which left me rather screwed to say the least since it deleted the oktoprep install.
I then attempted restoring 1.1.1, but kept getting an immediate error when it would go to restore the firmware.
I couldn't get my iPhone activated or restored for some reason. I believe it's because the baseband was updated due to the fact that I restored 1.1.2 instead of updating to it.
Anyways I tried nearly everything, until I gave restoring 1.1.1 one last try. Damnit still the same error. This time instead of letting iTunes tell me I needed to restore it, I opened the task manager and closed iTunes and opened up the 1.1.2 jailbreak/activation file that you use when you have updated with oktoprep installed.
There is a reboot feature in the jailbreak/activation .exe and after using that to reboot my phone, I finally got to the please activate via iTunes screen with the emergency slide thing.
I checked the info on the f/w and baseband and it stated the firmware was 1.1.1 with (04.02.13?) 1.1.2 baseband.
To my surprise, the original 1.1.1 appsnap method of jailbreaking and activating worked ONLY after using the JAVA based 1.1.2 jailbreak/activation program to first reboot my iPhone after getting the error when attempting to restore 1.1.1 after already accidently restoring 1.1.2 instead of updating.
I attempted to screw my phone up again by restoring 1.1.1's baseband via installer and then restoring 1.1.1 and trying to restore 1.1.2 again just to verify that this method actually works.
Anyways, I just figured I should post this incase anyone was as stupid as me.
Also, since from what I remember, 1.1.2 otb phones can't be jailbroken/activated yet, and maybe someone with more knowledge on the 1.1.2 jailbreak program could look into what exactly it does to the 1.1.2 baseband that would allow me to jailbreak/activate a phone with a baseband firmware of 1.1.2.
If this post is totally useless to everyone, please ignore it

Collective Protests in China and India: Unexpected Similarity?
Collective protests against corruption and land grabs are widespread in both China and India. The official Chinese Academy of Social Sciences reported that the government spent $110 billion on containing these and related popular protests in 2011, more than the defense budget. Many argue that disruptive protests erupt because there are no effective institutional channels, such as the judiciary, for expressing grievances in China. However, in neighboring India, the world's biggest democracy where such channels do exist, people similarly express their discontent through disruptive protests. Though not yet systematically counted, disruptions, both violent and non-violent, are an essential characteristic of Indian democracy. Continue reading

Vintage French Sap Pot
- Summary
A century ago, terra-cotta pots like this one were used to collect sap from trees throughout the French countryside. In the winter, wine growers would drop a hot coal in each sap-filled pot and place them under the grapevines to fend off frost damage. We think they're perfectly sized for growing herbs and starting seeds, and the visual evidence of their utilitarian history only adds to their charm.
- Authentic found object from the early 1900s, collected from flea markets in France.
- Made from terra-cotta, weathered and marked by time and use.
- Sizes and details will vary slightly; each of these found, vintage items is unique.
- The pots do not have drainage holes.
- Approx. 4" diam., 4" high.
- 1lb.
- From France.
- A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.
- Use & Care
- Wipe gently with a damp cloth.

U.S. Energy Boom Needs No Artificial Stimulants
The energy industry should be allowed to ebb and flow with free markets, not controlled by government stimulants.
Gregg Laskoski is a senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com
A USA Today editorial last week (November 23) on the opportunities and risks of the oil and gas boom caught my attention.
Almost reluctantly it seems, the editorial accepts the forecasts that we've all heard in recent weeks, specifically, the International Energy Agency's assessment that the United States will become both the world's largest natural gas producer and the world's largest oil producer, surpassing Russia and Saudi Arabia respectively within the next five years.
[See a collection of political cartoons on gas prices.]
And a string of rhetorical questions came to mind: Isn't that an exceptional piece of good news? Isn't that exactly what the United States needs to generate long-term economic growth? Isn't this boom already creating thousands of jobs? Doesn't it improve our nation's security if our fuel needs are met by U.S. production and/or supplemented from North American suppliers rather than the Middle East?'
If you need a moment to let that sink in, you're not alone. Interestingly enough, the paper acknowledged that "by 2035 the U.S. could become virtually energy independent…" But in a tone that only 'politically correct' media embrace, the editorial goes on to talk about all the negatives the U.S. energy boom might bring.
The USA Today editorial said that energy independence has been the "holy grail of every American president since the 1973 Arab oil embargo" (actually, every president since Harry Truman has expressed this goal) but it goes on sounding a lot like the nattering nabobs of negativism Spiro Agnew disdained.
[See a collection of political cartoons on energy policy.]
"The increase in fossil fuel supplies also comes with potential serious environmental costs," the editorial warns.
Where I thought we had extraordinarily positive news in this energy boom, USA Today sees only gloom. Their hand-wringing continued: "Lower prices for oil and gas can undercut progress toward clean-energy sources such as wind and solar."
There you have it; the obligatory 'politically correct' orthodoxy on energy that skates past the fact that the current administration's glib "doubling down" on green energy imposed billions of dollars of additional debt on American taxpayers. That's the debt we incurred after politically connected companies like Solyndra and about a dozen others were granted White House access, federally guaranteed loans, and then went bankrupt.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Should the Government Invest in Green Energy?]
Hopefully President Obama will learn from the mistakes he made in his first four years and let the energy industry's success take root with the ebb and flow of free markets—not politically contrived stimulants and subsidies that accelerate failure and create irreparable voids once they're removed.
Hopefully too, media outlets like USA Today will recognize that the need for transparency and careful oversight of government loans is just as important as "the need for the careful oversight of fracking."

If there were any doubts about the safety of the H1N1 vaccine, it was difficult to spot it in Vermillion Thursday.
Doors of the Vermillion High School auxiliary gymnasium opened at 2 p.m. Thursday, the site of a POD (point of dispensing) flu immunization clinic for people residing in Clay and Union counties.
It didn't take long for a line to begin to form outside, made of parents, young children, and some high school kids, all who arrived to receive the H1N1 vaccine, a seasonal flu shot, or both.
As in any setting where young children are confronted with strange people armed with cold alcohol swabs and sharp hypodermic needles, it didn't take long for the atmosphere inside the clinic to become a bit raucous.
There were cries from infants and toddlers feeling the sting of being vaccinated. Adding to the chorus was the reaction, which grew increasingly in volume, of older children who witnessed how upset their younger peers had suddenly become.
It didn't take the more mature kids long to realize that getting a flu shot may not be a fun time.
Four-year-old MaKenzie Richardson lingered out of reach as she watched her mother, Amy, complete necessary paperwork. She knew that once the last formed was filled out and signed, a shot would soon follow, and it was apparent that she wasn't looking forward to the experience.
MaKenzie received the H1N1 vaccine through a nasal mist. She later received a seasonal flu shot in the arm.
Her younger brother, Dain, 20 months, remained rather oblivious to it all, playing with a small stack of wrapped bandages, not realizing that one of them would soon be applied to his thigh at the point where he would receive an injection of the H1N1 vaccine.
Amy, who works as an athletic trainer for Sanford Vermillion, was grateful for Thursday's POD clinic in Vermillion, even though it wasn't a very pleasant experience for her kids.
"I think it's a great opportunity to have a lot of kids immunized that may not get into a clinic, and it's just a nice way to do it," she said. "Since this is free, it makes sure that as many children get immunized as possible."
Vermillion fulfilled its role Thursday as one of 30 POD sites organized by the state to quickly get medications to a larger population in the event of a large infectious disease outbreak or other public health emergency, including bioterrorism and pandemic influenza.
The POD sites receive funding from the South Dakota Department of Health through its federal preparedness grants.
The Vermillion Area POD clinic provided seasonal flu vaccine to infants and children ages 6 months through 18 years. H1N1 vaccine was provided to the following targeted priority groups: contacts to infants who are under 6 months of age, infants and children 6 months of age through 4 years of age, and high risk children 5 years of age through the age of 18. There was no charge for the vaccine.
At one time, it appeared that the H1N1 vaccine may not be administered because of a shortage of supply.
"At the end of last week, we got into some discussions with the state, trying to get some H1N1 available," said Matt Lavin, a local pharmacist and member of the Vermillion School Board, at Monday's board meeting. "They weren't releasing any at the time. We've since been able to acquire about 800 doses."
Initially, the state health department was not going to allow H1N1 vaccine to be administered at the upcoming Vermillion clinic.
"As of Monday morning, they are going to allow us to do it, but it will be strictly limited to children between 6 months and 4 years of age," Lavin said earlier this week. "We are one of three sites that are going to be doing that."
The H1N1 vaccine will be offered through department community health offices, private clinics and other community clinics as it becomes available. Parental consent is required for children younger than 18 so children should be accompanied by their parents.
H1N1 vaccine is now available in limited quantities in the state, with providers working to get it to their highest risk patients including pregnant women, contacts of infant under 6 months, children from 6 months to 4 years, and kids from 5 to 18 with chronic health conditions. Health care workers who have contact with patients or infectious materials are also at high risk and are now being vaccinated.
As more vaccine becomes available it will be offered to the next groups of individuals at high risk for H1N1 complications – children from 5 to 18 years, adults from 25 to 64 years with chronic health conditions, and young adults from 19 to 24. After those groups are immunized, the vaccine will be available to members of the general population.
Lavin noted that approximately a year of work has been devoted to planning the POD drill. "There's been a lot of time and effort put in making sure that as much preparation ahead of time could be done, and it just happens to be that we have an influenza outbreak at this time. This was something that had been put in the works years ago, and reformulated to fit this model," he said.
Both local and state organizers were hoping to see a strong turnout at Thursday's clinic.
"This will partly test the state's ability to see how many we can (inoculate) in a short amount of time," Lavin told the school board in early October. "If we really needed to get 2,000 people inoculated, how many could we get done in two hours or three hours? We've had a couple flu clinics this year where we've hit 400 kids in a two-hour time frame, so it's doable. This is a great example of a drill that we actually need to do."
Amy was pleased at how well Thursday's event was organized, which eased the experience for parents and their children, despite what seemed to be a crush of people early in the afternoon.
"It didn't take too long," she said. "I expected to wait in line, but it flowed pretty well, I thought."
And, Amy noted, the staff of nurses and volunteers administering the vaccinations and helping with the necessary forms kept their cool in a rather chaotic atmosphere.
"The anxiety is rather high in the room," she said, referring to the reaction of her kids and other young people who weren't all that appreciative of the necessary shot in the arm they received that day.
While she and her children prepared to leave the gymnasium, she quickly assessed the situation as she gathered Dain's and MaKenzie's coats and comforted her daughter, whose arm was still stinging a bit from her flu shot.
"I think it's nap time," Amy said.

Martin of Bowdoin College writes, "This thought-provoking collection of essays on political leaders, leadership, and discourse gives us a sophisticated and theoretically rich analysis to deepen our understanding of the political, social, and cultural traditions and constructs surrounding men and women as political executives, including a response to the question, 'Why hasn't a woman been elected President of the United States?'" In addition, Dr. Janet Johnson, Dr. Sara Pace Hillin, and Dr. Rochelle Gregory – all pioneering TWU graduates – appear in Political Women: Language and Leadership. Available soon from Lexington Books (an imprint of Rowman & Littlefield.).

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Meredith Goad email@example.com
Staff Writer
Every once in a while, a cookbook comes along that would be at home on any Maine bookshelf.
Sam Hayward's sea scallops with saffron and cider dish looks perfect for this time of year.
Photo by Genti and Hyers
That's the case with "The Chefs Collaborative Cookbook: Local, Sustainable, Delicious Recipes from America's Great Chefs" (The Taunton Press, $40).
The Chefs Collaborative is a non-profit network of 6,000 chefs, farmers, fishermen, educators and food lovers that has been promoting sustainable food systems since it was founded in 1993. The ranks of the group include notable chefs such as John Ash, Rick Bayless, Dan Barber, Hugh Acheson and Deborah Madison.
The collaborative's new cookbook includes 115 original recipes from some of its member chefs, including Portland's own Sam Hayward of Fore Street, who joined the organization in its first year. (You'll find Hayward's contribution to the book, his recipe for sea scallops with saffron and cider, reprinted below.)
Last year, the Chefs Collaborative awarded Hayward its "Sustainer" award, which "recognizes a chef who has been both a great mentor and a model to the culinary community through his purchases of seasonal, sustainable ingredients and the transformation of these ingredients into delicious food."
When chef Michael Leviton of Lumiere presented the award to Hayward in New Orleans last year, he said: "Sam has very quietly been doing this for a long time and has trained generations of chefs. Not only that, but he has been a champion of a cuisine that is uniquely representative of Maine's bounty."
Hayward, who has won a "Best Chef" James Beard award and whose restaurant has received multiple Beard nominations, said the award from the Chefs Collaborative is "the award I'm most proud to have achieved."
So, what's the Chefs Collaborative cookbook like? Think of it as a primer for the home cook on how to choose sustainable ingredients, read labels (what does "Food Alliance Certified" mean?), and in general prepare dinner like Hayward is standing beside you in your kitchen, giving you advice.
There are sidebars explaining why organic food costs more, and advising you "What to Ask When You're Ready to Buy the Cow."
What exactly is quinoa? How do you use teff and farro? You'll find out in the mini-encyclopedia of grains in the book.
"Using Everything" gives advice on what to do with chard and collard stems, apricot and cherry pits, radish greens, and other "leftover" parts of fruits and vegetables.
There's a guide to the categories and types of cheeses, and an explainer on egg labels.
If you have to choose between local and organic ingredients, which should you choose?
And that's just the beginning.
You might be wary of the recipes in a book like this because they come from chefs who aren't intimidated at all by recipes like roasted leg of goat with bordal beans and pork heart and sausage ragout over pasta.
Yes, those are in the cookbook, but don't worry: There's also plenty of accessible recipes for the faint-of-pork-heart, including buttermilk fried chicken from a North Carolina chef and corn spoonbread souffle with green garlic and asparagus from a San Francisco chef.
Most are in the middle – dishes that sound tantalizing but don't require a culinary degree or 20 years in a professional kitchen to execute. Think smoke-roasted whole chicken with Moroccan spices, spicy lamb Bolognese with basil ricotta on fettucine, and grilled New York steaks (grass-fed, of course) with asparagus, spring onions and porcini sauce.
Most of the chefs from the Northeast who contributed recipes are from Massachusetts. Chef Evan Mallett from the Black Trumpet in Portsmouth is the only chef from New Hampshire in the book. He shared an "October Heirloom Salad" that features some of his favorite heirloom root vegetables.

Comments On Jun 07, 2013:Figured I'd try these front wheel spacers. I think the one on the disc side is a hair to long. I can't get my forks parallel with each other. Forks are parallel with oem spacers.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Feb 10, 2012:I replaced the rear seals and spacers in my '05 CRF250X using these spacers. The Honda spacers are all aluminum where as these have a steel shell where the seal rubs on the spacer and the spacer mates with the wheel bearing. The rest is aluminum. The stock spacers were developing grooves as the seals wore down from friction and dirt. The grooves will allow dirt to get by the seal. My friends KTM had badly degraded spacers and seals and it did allow dirt to get access to the inner part of the axle shaft. These are a little cheaper than the Honda spacers but have the potential to last at least twice as long.

My title is my question, I had 11 to begin with in the day, now it is 6, anything i'm missing here? Thanks :)
If you open your user profile (by clicking on your username) there will be a tab called "
As far as I know, the only ways your karma points can go down is as follows:
There is also a 24-hour window where a vote can be revoked; a user can upvote one of your posts and your karma would go up like normal, but they can then take that vote back and your karma would go back down to its previous level. Accepting answers may work the same, but I've not tested it.
And as Al Ummat says, it takes a while for changes to save through the system, so any karma gained or lost within the last half-hour to an hour probably won't be reflected properly.

The Fall Convocation, the first formal academic ceremony of the 2012-2013 year, was held on Friday, October 19, at the Sette LaVerghetta Center, at 11 a.m. The University's core value of empowerment was the focus of the day's events, which featured Bernadette Gray-Little, Ph.D., Chancellor of the University of Kansas and a Marywood alumna, as the keynote speaker.
In addition to the keynote address, the event featured the annual faculty awards for distinguished academic work, including "Distinctions in One's Discipline," awarded to Edward J. O'Brien, Ph.D. A new faculty award for service was also presented to Sister Margaret Gannon, IHM, Ph.D. Marywood's nominee for "CASE Professor of the Year" is Laurie McMillan, Ph.D.
"I was very excited when I had heard that I won the award," said Dr. McMillan. "Of all the things that I do at Marywood, teaching is my favorite. It is where I put most of my energy. It is very rewarding, and it gives the most positive returns in terms of interacting with students. It feels good to be recognized for your work."

Doors open at 9 a.m. Thursday. The Raul Jimenez Thanksgiving Dinner is held at the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center and is free to all who are looking for warm Thanksgiving meal.

Review: Financial Management: Theory and PracticeUser Review - Ashley - Goodreads
Didn't really love this book, mostly because it wasn't relevant due to the professor's teaching style and content. There wasn't a lot of crossover. Annoying to me was the amount of errors in the answer key! Do they even check their answers? Read full review
Review: Financial Management: Theory and PracticeUser Review - Kyle - Goodreads
One of the most poorly written text books I've ever read. They go out of their way to make concepts difficult to understand. I'd recommend a Google search on major topics to find better explanations and examples. Read full review
