Are Islanders heading to Brooklyn early?
By Allan Muir
A report this morning from IslandersPointBlank suggests the team is looking to expedite its departure from Long Island a year sooner than originally announced.
The team is slated to debut at Brooklyn's new Barclays Center at the start of the 2015-16 season, but the site quoted a source who said both Nassau County and the Isles are open to the idea of a "financial arrangement" that would see the team move to Brooklyn after the end of next season.
The source said there's "no chance" the team could move any sooner, noting "there's too much work to be done" before the transition is feasible…at least on a full-time basis.
According the report, "There remains a slight possibility that the Islanders will play a couple of games at the Barclays Center during the 2013-14 regular season. No decision has been made by the team yet. Any regular season games played at Barclays would have to be specifically negotiated with the county, per the Islanders' lease. This coming summer, a preseason game in Brooklyn, likely against the New Jersey Devils, is expected to be announced for September 2013."
It's certainly no surprise that the Isles are working to this end. The viability of the franchise hinges on the move, so the sooner that's accomplished, the better. This option would still leave the team a year to say good-bye to the only home the franchise has known and begin to put the marketing plans in place that they'll need to ensure the transition is an immediate success.
It'll be interesting to see if this plan affects the makeup of the club moving forward. With the potential for significantly higher revenue streams nearer than before, and with the team close to becoming a legitimate playoff side, will owner Charles Wang open up his checkbook this summer to improve the quality of the product he's bringing to Brooklyn in 2014?
Watching the Isles is about to get a lot more entertaining…

Hi Guys,
I used to use SMSD quite a lot, but since I have upgraded to v1.1.4 I can't get SMSD to work again.
When I click on the icon, the application launches, but is only on the screen for about 1 second before it crashed back to the main dock.
v1.1.2 OTB - iPlus 2.0b --> v1.14 - BSDSubsystem, and all of the required patches like AppSupport, etc.
Any ideas? I have tried searching and all of the results come up with v1.1.3 results that don't work!

I've been tagged for a meme. I don't typically do memes and i know this makes me a terrible meme not doer, but I swear my reasons aren't bitchy, just awkward.
For example, this current meme requires that I list seven random things about myself. Dear god, the pressure! On the one hand, I do an awful lot of writing that is connected to personal experience, yet there is something about the invitation to, "Write seven random things about yourself" that seems impossible and draws a big blank. I'm growing tense just sitting here writing the prelude to the writing of the seven things I am yet to decide on.
Since I've been tagged for this particular meme twice, I'm stepping up to the plate and doing it. Alexa of Invisible Bees has more guts than me and did the meme as intended but with a gardening spin. Genevieve of North Coast Gardening altered the meme and wrote hers as a list of seven articles she has enjoyed in the last year.
Apparently, the seven things can be any seven things, but in keeping with this site I've decided to make it seven plants I love. This is of course a difficult topic because it is almost impossible to pick favourites in the garden world and my tastes and interests change constantly. So I've decided to try and just keep it with where I am right now. Today. This minute. And I've cut food plants out as a possibility to force me to talk about some favourite plants that often go without much fan fair.
Here we go. [Which as of today was started over a week ago. So clearly I have a huge block around memes and picking favourites. For real this time! Doing it...]
Agaves are a long term favourite. Ours is a love that could never die. Thinking back, the interest really took off on our second trip to Oaxaca, Mexico in the spring of 2000. We had been to the coast of Oaxaca the previous year where there were many majestic agaves, but NOTHING like what I saw in the interior. It is there that I learned of the importance of agave to the Mexican people and its many ethnobotanic uses. I eventually wrote an article about this, and while I never did write the part 2, my fascination with them has not disappeared.
As a gardener and a writer, I have focused more and more on food over the years, but when I think about it I can see that this interest stems from the fact that I am actually more generally interested in ethnobotany as a whole. Food and eating is only one large (and very integral) part of the overall connection between human history and the ways we use plants for survival.
Despite my love for agaves, I was only able to see them in bloom (up close) for the first time two years ago on our first trip to Cuba.
My new friend Barry is an agave collector. Meeting him and his collection has rekindled my interest in the plants specifically, beyond their socio/cultural usage. I've acquired two new plants this summer, Barry just gave me a third, and I have my eye on a forth spineless type. There are so many incredible agaves out there, one could devote themselves entirely to this genus without getting bored. Unfortunately, this type of devotion requires more space than I can provide as they grow awfully big and the spines are horrible when they stick you.
Now here's a plant whose size I can accommodate in the tiniest sliver of space. They may be small, but sundews (drosera) are infinitely fascinating plants that are both cute and slightly evil at once. I currently have three living in a small aquarium alongside several other equally fascinating (well, nearly) carnivorous plants.
See more: Drosera adelae, Drosera spathulata, another sundew, cape sundew
This is a new interest that had its start in the spring of 2008 when I found myself digging up clovers to put in little containers. Hmmm… or perhaps it has its start in childhood when I went through a brief but rabid four-leaf clover phase, spending hours at recesses and after school searching the lawns for four leaf clovers that I would then laminate between pieces of scotch tape.
This past spring I bought two oxalis plants and one clover at the annual Parkdale Horticultural Society Plant Sale, making my new plant love official. And then I bought another, very vibrant burgundy one over the summer. To be clear, oxalis and clovers (Trifolium) are not the same thing; they do however look similar, hence the connection. Most oxalis plants are not hardy to the cold in my part of the world, while many clovers, being in the pea family, are. So far I am focused on oxalis with small leaves that look more like vibrantly coloured clovers and am not very interested in the larger-leaved plants. We'll see where this goes. Hopefully not too far since I am already burdened with three plants to overwinter indoors.
Here's another big category that I am fascinated by. In truth, this interest extends to all epiphytic (air) plants, but I find the idea of cactus that grow in trees particularly strange. What a marvel! I currently have three plants in my home but long for the space to house a really huge pencil cactus. Someday.
I was very fortunate to finally see one growing on a tree this past year on our last trip to Cuba. We took a horseback trip (also a first which I will NEVER do again) into the mountains to visit a waterfall. The waterfall was nice enough, but it was the plant life that inspired me. I saw many average house plants growing in the wild, up along rock walls and creating thick brush along the edge of the forest. In that environment they seemed anything but average. Tillandsia (another epiphytic plant) filled a tree, but I've actually seen so many of those now in the wild that it is starting to become more common place (although never losing its appeal. I still cry like a baby when I see them). The real highlight was a tiny ephiphytic cactus snaking up the trunk of a tree. I'm sure my fellow horseback riding comrades were perplexed by what I was looking at so intently on that tree trunk, but I know y'all will understand [See photo above].
Here's one you didn't see coming. It still surprises me some days. I got into them in my first year of university and I know I had had some of them at least a year by that point (that made me 18 years old at the time. Take that "The kids don't garden naysayers!!") but I don't recall actually buying them. Back then I worked at a dollar store in a mall and I often passed through a Woolworth on my way to my job. The Woolworth had an every-changing display of houseplants along that path, which inevitably lead me to take several home to my new apartment. I am fairly certain that the African violets were among the plants purchased there. I also got a few plants from my grade 13 biology teacher, so that's another possibility.
Needless to say, true love came to blossom (literally and figuratively) during the year I spent living in a very sunny and warm dorm room. My room was up on the 14th floor and a corner room that was literally wall-to-wall window. The environment was perfect for my African violets and they flourished there. Naturally, success with a plant was a big ego boost that fueled my desire to grow more. I've acquired several plants over the years and am most fond of the most ostentatious and outrageous varieties with ruffled leaves, double, ruffled flowers, and crazy variegation. All of my favourites were acquired as leaf cuttings bought from the Toronto Gesneriad Society booth at the CNE that I rooted and propagated myself. I should just break down and join the club, shouldn't I?
I also have a special fondness for dwarf varieties that are tiny enough to sit in the palm of your hand. I bought two on a recent trip to Montreal and they were only 2 bucks each! That's the other stellar thing about African violets: they're CHEAP.
To date, my current count is 8. I'd have more but missed the Gesneriad Society table at this year's CNE. Yes, I actively sought it out and was disappointed to have missed it. And I'm just going to put this out there, but it's also a personal dream to enter a contest. I know my plants would never win because I'm not cut out for that kind of anal retentive devotion to form (my plants are a rag-tag mess by their standards), but it would be a great excuse to wear a giant soap opera style hat!

Here's another that took me by surprise. I grew up with your typical red flower geranium. They were everywhere in my neighbourhood where there were gardens, probably because they practically grow themselves, are super cheap, and the kids often sold them as fund-raising items for softball teams and the like. As a result, I grew up with an extreme distaste for geraniums, believing in my mind that they represented the entire scope of the geranium world. That sad thing with a big red pom pom flower on top was a geranium. The end.
Then, in 1997 I went to San Francisco for the first time and was BLOWN AWAY. That same red flower geranium grew into a wild, tentacled monster in a temperate climate. Not so bad after all.
Eventually, I came to know that there were lots of other geraniums out there that are true geraniums and not tender pelargoniums like the red-leaved kind I knew. Some are dainty, yet hardy little things, and some grow wild and gnarled if you let them and produce the most amazing pine smell when you brush against their foliage.
Then later, I got over my bias in a new way and came to appreciate scented pelargoniums aka scented geraniums, the nicer smelling siblings of that original red flower type. I've come to grow many over the years and am currently in love with a curly-leaved, variegated variety called 'Prince Rupert' that I picked up at a nursery sale for $1.99! It smells like lemons. We're going to be good friends, I think.
This began as a plants I like list and has evolved into a plants even I am surprised are on my list, list. I've said it before, but I'll say it again, I didn't like begonias. In fact, I had some pretty mean things to say about them that should only be reserved for cacti with straw flowers glued onto them. And even that isn't the plants' fault but simple human crassness.
Somewhere along the way, in what is a running theme, I checked my biases, humbly admitted that I didn't know jack, was making some cocky, pompous assumptions without a proper education, and changed my mind.
And now look at me: I'm growing begonias! And I'm really excited about trying to grow my own from bulbils harvested from the orange Begonia Sutherlandii plant above. There are still a lot of begonias that give me the dry heaves, but of those I do like, Wow.
Look at you, making it all the way down here to the end. I feel like I lived an entire lifetime while writing this so I can only imagine what it felt like to read it.
Now comes the second part of the meme, wherein I am asked to share seven blogs I like. I equally hate doing this sort of thing because seven is a very finite number that inevitably leads to leaving someone out. Or worse still, I tag seven people who do not want to be tagged. So now I've tagged people who don't want it, and not tagged those who do. Memes are supposed to be about spreading the love, but participating in them often feels like stepping onto a giant landmine of potential social failure.
So for that reason I've decided to open this up to everyone. Go over to your internet website and do the seven questions thing, if you feel so inclined. Come back here and link to it in the comments. If you don't have a website, just write your seven things in the comments.
In two weeks (I'm giving you time because I know how hard these memes can be) I'll randomly pick one from the list and send that person a copy of my first book and some buttons and magnets. Hooray!

"We were able to have the meal options removed and we added a "number of seats saved in your honor" line. The designer did a great job at balancing the text and gave us exactly what we were looking for."
"I love this design and product! I was able to add customization here to make it my own and to match my December wedding theme! Everything came out beautifully!"
"I ordered these in the pearl shimmer paper with rounded corners and navy font to coordinate with my invitations. Customer service helped me design it to include areas to specify the number of guests invited as well the menu options. Completely satisfied with this reception card!"
"I ordered this on the shimmer paper and changed the floral color to Coral. Perfect for my "informal" beach wedding in March. The order was delivered exactly as appeared in the proofs and arrived even earlier than promised. There was also no issue calling and requesting additional cards when last minute additions were made to the guest list."
"The quality of the paper is excellent. I asked for a custom color, which turned out beautiful and didn't cost me extra! The designers were wonderful to work with and very responsive."

Questions & Answers
Balboa Baby Dr. Sears Baby Carrier Sling
Liked It, Better for Younger Baby
Chantel from margate, FL– Verified Buyer
I liked the product, but I purchased for an older baby, that was pre-walker and he moved around a lot. I was always worried I didn't have him in right and had to hold his bottom. I think it is better for newborn - just before walking and creeping stage. I will be saving it for my next baby. -)
Olumide from Mckinney, TX– Verified Buyer
Product is nice and colorful but too big for babies less than 910 pounds
GIOVANNA from Wethersfield, CT– Verified Buyer
WHAT A LIFE SAVER. It is a little tricky at first to place baby but once you get a hang of it you are good to go. Mom can get things done and baby is happy close to mom!
Alejandra Gonzalez from Pico Rivera, CA– Verified Buyer
Love it. I mainly use it in the side hip position. My 5 month old feels very secure in it. Best of all, my back doesn't hurt. I've worn it numerous times and there is no pain in the shoulder either. My 5 month old weighs about 16lbs.
D Shaw
Deanna Shaw from Logansport, IN– Verified Buyer
This is one of the best slings I have found. The price is very reasonable considering others ate going up to $100. I have enjoyed being able to have hands free to do chores while still having him close.
Excited to use this
Amanda Irwin from Cleveland, OH– Verified Buyer– Top 10 Reviewer
We are two weeks away from expecting our first baby and I can't wait to try this out. My husband wanted a sling vs. a carrier, he thinks they're more comfortable for baby. I didn't care either way so I ordered this one and it's so nice. The fabric is very soft and seems repelint in a way so it won't be a lint trap. We got the black originial one. Youtube has a lot of videos on how to use it - I highly recommend watching them for proper use and you can really see how comfy baby is. Check it out. We can't wait to use this and for baby to arrive.
Multi-task with Cuddle Time!
Puffin from Edmonton, Alberta
I use this carrier when my baby is needing extra cuddle/holding time but I need to get things done. I prepare for cooking, clean, work on the computer, do crafts, etc. with her in it. It allows me to hold her in her favorite positions (cradle or in fetal position upright on my chest) and gives my arms a break.
Balboa Baby Sling
Regina from San Diego, CA– Verified Buyer
The Balboa Baby adjustable sling looks nice and constructed with quality although I have not been able to use it with my newborn. The baby pocket is long and wide, so much so that my child cannot get comfortable in it. I'll have to wait until my infant is larger to know whether or not I enjoy it and will recommend it to others.

Take an action-packed day trip from Paihia to the tip of New Zealand's North Island on a guided tour of Cape Reinga! The Waverider coach, built to traverse sand, will drive you down the rugged coastline of Ninety Mile Beach. You'll also see the mystical kauri trees, go sandboarding and dig for shellfish.
Explore one of the most amazing stretches of coastline in Oceana on a custom-built Waverider coach that keeps you comfortable as it moves effortlessly over sandy beaches, rugged roads and quicksand streams.
Start your New Zealand North Island adventure day trip with a stop at the Puketi Forest, home to 1,000-year-old kauri trees, some of the most ancient trees in the world. Walk along a ground-level boardwalk that meanders around the trunks of the trees and learn more about the area from the information panels located throughout the walk.
After you leave the Puketi Forest, you'll head to Houhora Harbour, where you can enjoy a tea break (not included) and a buffet lunch (if option selected at time of booking) at Houhora Game Fishing Club . Later you will go to Cape Reinga, the northernmost tip of New Zealand. You'll feel as though you're standing on the edge of the world as you watch the Pacific Ocean collide with the Tasman Sea.
Maori legend says that Cape Reinga is the departure point for spirits on their way to the Maori homeland in Hawaiki. There are no shops on Cape Reinga, and eating and drinking is frowned upon in order to show respect for this sacred Maori site. For an additional cost, you can aid New Zealand's conservation program by planting a native tree.
From Cape Reinga, your tour continues down the North Island's coast. Your first stop is the giant sand dunes at the Te Paki Quicksand Stream, where you can try your hand at sandboarding. Experience an exhilarating ride down the face of a dune on a boogie board!
Finally, get back on the Waverider coach and head south on Ninety Mile Beach. This strikingly beautiful stretch of unpopulated beach, is a marked contrast to the bustle of the island's East Coast, and you will have plenty of opportunities to stick your toes in the sand and help your guide dig for shellfish.
Your New Zealand North Island adventure ends with your return drive to Paihia.

Good with veggies, fruit, and pita bread, the sheer variety of dips make them an easy crowd-pleaser. If you've got a party coming up and want to get crazy with the dip but also want to keep calories and fat down, we've got 10 recipes for you to make! Creamy Peanut Butter Dip What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Serve fiber-filled fruit like apples or pears to eat alongside this creamy peanut butter dip. The natural sugar of fruit won't have you crashing the same way a soda will, and the protein from the nut butter will help sustain your energy through the day. 1 / 10 Chipotle Hummus What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Give hummus a spicy twist by whipping up a batch of chipotle hummus. 2 / 10 Nonfat Yogurt Dill Dip What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This tangy yogurt dill dip is made with nonfat Greek yogurt, making it low in calories and high in protein. 3 / 10 Roasted Tomato Hummus What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Whip up a batch of roasted tomato hummus — you'll be making it well beyond Super Bowl season. 4 / 10 White Bean Veggie Dip What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Like hummus, this white bean veggie dip relies on chickpeas as its main ingredient. But the addition of Greek yogurt, lemon, and dill give it a creamy kick reminiscent of ranch dip. 6 / 10 Black Bean Dip What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This black bean dip gets a nice kick from garlic, red onion, and cayenne pepper. The nutrition stats aren't too shabby either: low-cal, almost no fat or sugar, and a good amount of fiber and protein. 6 / 10 Mango Red Pepper Salsa What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Salsa is always a great alternative to fattening dips because it's low in fat and full of fresh veggies. Enjoy this mango red pepper salsa with crackers, corn chips, or pita bread. 7 / 10 Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rethink ranch dip by substituting Greek yogurt for sour cream and mayonnaise. Instead of the powdered spices and salt, quickly chop up some chives, parsley, and garlic for our Greek yogurt ranch dip. There is so much flavor packed in these fresh herbs that only a little salt is needed to satisfy your palate. 8 / 10 Sun-Dried Tomato and Chili-Walnut Layered Dip What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who doesn't love a layered dip? And this recipe is made even better by being both vegan and gluten-free. Our healthy sun-dried tomato and chili-walnut layered dip combines soft tastes of lemon with sun-dried tomato and a hint of chili. 9 / 10 Edamole What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Fans of guacamole will love edamole: it's similar to the real thing, but is made from edamame not avocado. These soybeans are high in protein but low in fat and calories. (This dip tastes as equally good as a sandwich spread.) 11 / 10 88.8K 192 109 4 4 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Healthy RecipesAppetizersHealthy LivingHealthy Snacks healthy recipes Cut the Carbs With 10 High-Protein Breakfast Recipes 21 hours ago 14 Crowd-Pleasing Pasta Recipes Fit For Vegans 1 day ago 5 Low-Carb Lunches to Pack For Work 1 day ago Does a Post-Workout Smoothie Kill All the Work I Just Did? 1 day ago Quinoa Crust to Satisfy Your Gluten-Free Pizza Cravings 2 days ago Low-Calorie and Filling, This Chia Pudding Is a Perfect Breakfast 2 days ago Get a Personalized Fitness Newsletter!

Comments On Feb 08, 2013:This boot, out of the box is the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. It has probably the best sole for slick surfaces. It seriously fit and was easy to walk in right out of the box. It is true to the size I wear. When I took a chance on this boot I needed a something between a Motocross boot & everyday work boot. I believe this boot is in Gaerne's trials riding class of boot. I ride hard trails, but needed a boot I could walk in when I'm helping buddies with their bikes on rides. It offers enough protection for harder trail rides. It is not recommended for any Motocross. There is just not enough ankle support for that. The quality is second to none. I watched a review online that said you could re-sole them. All I can say is give this boot a try. It's not the norm, but performs great!!
Additional Comments On Apr 07, 2013:I"m getting back on to further my review after 300 miles of riding. My view has not change one bit. This is the most fantastic, most comfortable trail riding boot I have worn ever!!!! Now I can see why it's been around so long. Considering that most people trail ride I'm shocked I don't see them more often out on the trail.
Additional Comments On Oct 29, 2013:Well, it's been about 1200 miles later on these boots. They look a little worn, but I re-oil them often and they look great. I've added the gaerne metal toe guards on each boot to keep the sole and leather together. On all of my nasty, knarly, singletrack riding I have only had a hand full of times I thought I need more protection. All in all still one of the better purchases I have ever made for dirt biking.
Additional Comments On Mar 09, 2014:Well, just another update. Just got back from another trip from Moab, Utah. Over 100 miles of riding rocky, unforgiving terrain. Boots still perform how I expect. Never felt once that my feet were under protected for trail riding. Reconditioned the leather when I got home & they look good as new.

Comments On Sep 26, 2013:If youâ??ve done any research on these at all, you know the Gaerne Balance Oiled boots have a cult-like following. Itâ??s deserved. The quality of the leather is phenomenal, the craftsmanship superb, the fit-and-finish is outstanding. They are gorgeous to behold. All that being said, I returned mine. Why? One word: Protection. In my opinion, these boots offer no more protection than an ANSI work boot, if that. Yes, they have the shin guard and a work boot doesnâ??t, but the ANSI boot would have a steel/composite toe and these donâ??t. Some might say the midsoles of the Balance boots are stronger, but if the work boot has a steel shank I seriously doubt it. Having a friend punch you in the toe or ankle bone while wearing these would result in you hopping around and cursing (unless your friend is a wuss) and thatâ??s nothing compared to what a stump, rock, or the frame of your bike can do. To be fair, Gaerne designed these for trials riding, and as far as I know thatâ??s done at very low speeds and on lighter bikes. I didnâ??t expect these to be motocross boots by any means, but I expected something more than just a single layer of leather around the ankle/heel/toe areas. There is not even a wear pad where the shifter contacts the boot! Unless you only do VERY light off-road riding, I would strongly suggest considering something a little more protective. I hate only giving these 3 stars, because in a world of mass-produced junk footwear they truly are works of art, but I intend to use my boots, not put them in a display case.

Comments On Aug 12, 2013:Awesome Boots. I use them Trailriding on my Quad, Feeds stay dry the hole day. My Buddys just Ordered some GAERNE SG 12. Alpinestar is not always the Star on the Sky... WILL BUY GAERNE BOOTS AGAIN.

Comments On Jun 24, 2013:These boots are awesome. They feel secure and solid, but what is more important to me is that they are incredibly comfortable for my wide feet. They fit true to size as far as the number size, but they feel like an EE or so in width. They are comfortable out of the box, and really comfortable after a few days of wear. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Comments On Mar 26, 2013:Comfortable and give you solid protection. Leather got grinded down in a few spots but in moab but I think these will wear better on dirt trails where I plan to use them.

Comments On Jan 25, 2013:So, these are a little bit on the pricey end for what I could have purchased by way of boots, but for me these fit the bill perfectly. I ride an ATV, not quite as demanding or dangerous as MX, but certainly wet and dirty. These boots ARE WATERPROOF! I took them out as soon as I purchased them and spent hours in ankle deep wet and muck. Feet were toasty dry after the day was over. They are comfortable for walking long periods in and provide moderate safety on a quad. I don't feel like a stormtrooper in them either like other MX boots I have worn. If you are looking for a safe boot that looks great, comfortable to walk in and holds up to the elements, this is your boot!

Comments On Jan 04, 2013:The comfort while walking is unsurpassed, it feels like a hiking boot! Waterproof....I'm the only one in our group with dry feet! The flexible gum rubber sole is not the best for stand-up riding. I had a bad case of plantar fasciitis after a long ride and can attribute it to the gum soles. Also, there isnt a lot of lateral ankle support. I would recommend this boot for casual trail riders, not for the aggressive type.

Comments On Oct 05, 2011:I bought this boot for the KLR adventure ride I had planned. Best choice I could have made! I love them. very comfy even hiking in. waterproof too - tested many times!

Whether Kearns Actually Did Bet 10,000 Dollars On The First Round Ko, Will Never Be Known--for Certain. One Thing Is Certain Is That In The New York Times July3, 1919 --dempsey Was Interviewed '...unless Willard Is The Superman Claimed By His Supporters, I Will Knock Him Out In A Hurry. I Would Not Be Surprised To List Him With Fulton, Morris, And The Other One Rounders. He May Get It By The First, But If He Does He Only Framing Alot Of Trouble For Himself.

Women's Devotional Bible - Monday, December 30, 2013
At Issue - Parenting
With all the ugly stories of child abuse that we hear, disciplining children has become a touchy subject. Yet we've all met people who grew up without discipline—and that neglect is another form of abuse. When Eli refused to discipline his children, God actually stepped in. God approves of discipline and expects us to lovingly discipline our children. Discipline provides a sense of structure for children, allowing them to feel safe. And giving children consequences for their actions while they're young spares them from greater consequences as adults.

Duration: 60 minutes
As the Internet and computing have become ubiquitous over the past 25 years, there is an expectation by customers of always-on service. Businesses compete based on meeting and exceeding customer expectations, and if those expectations are shattered, customers may choose to do business with the competition, affecting revenue and corporate profit as well as incurring unnecessary costs such as regulatory fines or lawsuits. As a result, the heart of most businesses - the most critical business processes such as those that deal with customers and fulfillment - are often expected to be available 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
Join us as Donna Scott, Gartner VP Distinguished Analyst, presents best practices in achieving multi-site application availability, while offering guidance on data center and hosting strategies in the age of cloud computing.

What Is Copyright?
Copyright is a set of exclusive rights granted to the author or creator of an original work. These rights include:
- reproduce the work
- prepare other works based upon the work ("derivative works")
- distribute copies of the work by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by lease
- perform the work publicly
- display the copyrighted work publicly
Under United States law, seven types of works can be copyrighted:
- literary works
- musical works
- dramatic works
- pantomimes and choreographic works
- pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works, including fabric designs
- motion pictures and other audiovisual works
- sound recordings
A "work" cannot be just an idea to qualify for copyright protection. It has to be original and be the result of at least some creativity. It must also be realized in a "fixed form."
The exclusive rights are however balanced for public interest purposes with limitations and exceptions to the exclusive right - such as fair dealing and fair use. Copyright theory says that it is the balance between the exclusive rights and the limitations and exceptions that engenders creativity. Copyright does not protect ideas, only their expression or fixation. In most jurisdictions copyright arises upon fixation and does not need to be registered. Copyright owners have the exclusive statutory right to exercise control over copying and other exploitation of the works for a specific period of time, after which the work is said to enter the public domain. Uses which are covered under limitations and exceptions to copyright, such as fair use, do not require permission from the copyright owner. All other uses require permission and copyright owners can license or permanently transfer or assign their exclusive rights to others.
Initially copyright law only applied to the copying of books. Over time other uses such as translations and derivative works were made subject to copyright and copyright now covers a wide range of works, including maps, dramatic works, paintings, photographs, sound recordings, motion pictures and computer programs.

Spoken of figuratively in Matt. 7:6 (see Prov. 11:22).

After a long time of keeping the peace in the Reindeer Games section and adding her opinions in the moderator discussions, randomname has decided to leave on her own will, as she doesn't think she's got the time to fill her duties anymore. We of course wish her all the best. She's not quitting the site, only her moderator position, so you will still see her around.

Ex Voto is a collection of one-of-a-kind and limited edition pieces created by Elizabeth Adams from antique elements. Made in the US, Ex Voto combines vintage lockets and pendants with diamonds, semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls, premium leathers and high quality gold-plated chain.
When Elizabeth was born, her father's mentor gave her a locket and a small card with the handwritten blessing: "May your life be as beautiful as you are." No one's life is always easy, but it can be beautiful. The limited edition lockets come holding one of four blessing keepsake charms just as Ellizabeth's first locket did.
Art, vintage patina, mysterious history, blessings of encouragement, and gratitude to the Redeemer who has the power to make beauty from the ashes, these are the concepts behind Ex Voto Vintage.
A portion of the sales of Ex Voto Vintage go to The Cure Starts Now Foundation for Pediatric Brain Cancer Research.

I'm almost done with A Storm of Swords. It's clearly superior to A Clash of Kings and possibly better than A Game of Thrones. I also think it's unfair to call the book nothing more than a soap opera, as some have.
I'm almost done with A Storm of Swords. It's clearly superior to A Clash of Kings and possibly better than A Game of Thrones. I also think it's unfair to call the book nothing more than a soap opera, as some have.
I think that's the best book in the series, so far.
Intruder in the Dust by William Faulkner
My sixth Faulkner novel, a sort of proto-To Kill A Mockingbird where a elderly black man (one of the main characters of Go Down, Moses) is accused of murder, and the only people standing between him and a lynching are an old woman and two teenagers. Contains some interesting passages on Southern society and Faulkner's view of race relations.
"I'm a white male, age 18 to 49. Everyone listens to me, no matter how dumb my suggestions are!"

Rabbit at Rest by John Updike
John Updike's four-decade-spanning quadrilogy about Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom concludes with this 1990 effort, winner of the Pulitzer Prize. It's the longest of the four, and feels flabby in places, but it feels like a conclusion to our "hero"'s self-centred, random exploits over the years.

Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed. If not for the setting, it'd be fairly generic. Even with the setting, it tends to default to standard fantasy tropes. Still, there's some interesting worldbuilding going on and I'm probably onboard for a sequel if I hear good things.
Ahmed's written at least one short story set in the same world that's available free online: Judgment of Swords and Souls.

Here Comes the Sun by Tom Holt
Probably the weakest effort I've yet read by Holt. The plot was convoluted, nonsensical (not in the good way) and ultimately resulted in not much of anything. None of the characters were particularly compelling. The only redeeming quality was that there were just e ough interesting set-pieces to keep me plodding through.
The Stories of John Cheever by John Cheever
Part 1 of my attempt to develop more of a taste for short fiction (as well as another Pulitzer-winner notched), this mammoth (700 page) collection of the so-called "Chekhov of the suburbs" is quite a good way to start trying the genre (I've previously read some short detective stories by Doyle and Chesterton, but detective fiction isn't really a major interest of mine). There's some okay stuff here, but a number of really standout stories. I know that Matthew Weiner, the creator of Mad Men, has talked a lot about his love for Cheever, and you can see some influences (there's even a character named "Joan Harris" in one of them, as well as another story with a Madison Avenue advertising executive).

The first three Jack Reacher novels by Lee Child. The Killing Floor, Die Trying, and Tripwire. Not my idea, and not really worth reading. Reacher is a former MP turned drifter who's also brilliant, a perfect physical specimen, and preternaturally good at just about everything. He's Rambo in First Blood, but without any of that wussy PTSD and, like, way more badass.
Child's style is functional at best, and he leans heavily on quick cuts between characters points of view to amp up the tension and near-fetishistic digressions into the specifics of military hardware. Aside from Reacher, the characters are barely sketches (not that he's particularly well-developed, himself -- we just spend more time with him than anybody else). The villains are bastards, the love interests are sexy, and the sidekicks are dependable. The twists are telegraphed miles in advance.

Waltz Into Darkness by Cornell Woolrich
I was not wowed by this effort by Woolrich. Beyond the late 19th century Gulf Coast setting this was a fairly straightforward noir. Femme fatale manipulates man in love to his detriment. Part of the problem may have been that I've seen Woolrich play this game before and the change in setting really wasn't enough to differentiate it. More likely it's that Louis Durand was just profoundly stupid. It's beyond the old "fool me once, fool me twice" canard. Durand might as well have just gone through the book with blinders and a "kick me" sign on him. You can't have sympathy for someone who works this hard to get his ass kicked emotionally (not to mention financially).
It's got enough of the Woolrich positives to make it worth a read. But it is far from his best work.

I love the results that I get from Botox. I do tend to get headaches from it though. They don't start until the Botox takes effect.

Valpo Women's Soccer Opens Preseason with Win at Illinois State
Related Links
Tuesday, August 10, 2010
Valparaiso's women's soccer team became the first Crusader program to take to the playing field this season, posting a 1-0 victory against Illinois State on Tuesday afternoon at Adelaide Street Field in Normal, Ill.
"We entered the match just five days into camp, but we accomplished a lot of our goals coming into the contest," head coach John Marovich said. "We learned a lot about our team today that we can take with us as we move into our next exhibition match on Sunday."
The two sides battled to a scoreless opening 45 minutes on a hot, humid afternoon. Crusader freshman goalkeeper Kristen Manski (Saint Charles, Ill./North H.S.) kept the Redbirds off of the scoreboard with three first half saves on four Illinois State shots. Valpo registered five shot attempts in the opening stanza, but each one was off net.
Illinois State, the preseason favorite in the Missouri Valley Conference, registered the first three shot attempts of the second half, all off the mark.
Another Crusader freshman, Hailey Chmela (Hawthorn Woods, Ill./Lake Zurich H.S.) then stepped up, and gave the Brown and Gold the lead. Her shot from 15 yards out went high over Illinois State goalkeeper Mara Kremenovic's head, putting Valpo on top 1-0 with just 14:15 to play in regulation time.
The Redbirds had a chance to tie with under three minutes to play, but Anna Stinson's shot went off of the crossbar.
Amanda Ulin (Solon, Iowa/Solon H.S.), another freshman, looked to add an insurance tally with just over a minute remaining, but Kremenovic made the save, the only stop by an Illinois State goalkeeper on the afternoon.
Illinois State finished the match holding a slim 8-7 shot advantage, but Manski's three saves helped preserve the shutout for the Crusaders.
"It is always nice to get a win," Marovich added. "But most important from today is what we take out of the match as we progress. We had a good overall sense of composure today, especially on defense."
Valparaiso will wrap up its exhibition schedule on Sunday afternoon, hosting Oakland University at Eastgate Field in a 1 p.m. match. The Crusaders then open the regular season on Saturday, August 21 with a 7 p.m. match against UMKC in Kansas City, Mo.

Down the Hatch
Krystal is known for the traditional-style "sliders"
Courtesy of the Krystal Co.
Who came up with "slider'' as a name for those miniburgers we see in restaurants everywhere?
Ah, the ubiquitous slider, current darling of the dining scene. The term likely originated with the U.S. Navy, probably in the 1940s or 1950s, to refer to the greasy little military burgers that once popped into your mouth, slid down easily, says Barry Popik, one of the country's premier etymologists (one who studies the origins of words or sayings). At some point afterward, White Castle, the country's oldest burger chain, trademarked the term "slyder'' for its square burgers.
Today, restaurants across the country offer designer sliders. In Central Florida alone, you can get a lamb slider at Kouzzina by Cat Cora; a trio of chicken, turkey and chopped sirloin sliders at Terrace 390; and Kobe beef sliders at Eleven at Reunion Resort. We're talking upscale menu items at upscale prices.
Not a bad outcome for a once-humble comestible that bore the nickname "gut bomb.''
"One restaurant starts serving sliders and it just kind of snowballs—all of a sudden it becomes an upscale dish,'' says Popik, who maintains the fascinating word history Website barrypopik.com out of his Austin, Texas, home.
But what if you crave the cheap, original article? You need go no further than the nearest Krystal. The chain refers to its miniburgers simply as "Krystals,'' and you can load up on a sackful of 12 or a "Steamer Pack'' of 24.

Now that WLOQ-FM is off the air, what happens to the jazz concerts that the station has produced for years?
Although the smooth jazz station at 103.1 was sold for $8 million to TTB Media Corp. in July, WLOQ retained the right to, among other things, its Website and the concerts it produces. WLOQ's general manager, Pete DeSimone, says the company still plans to put on the Orlando Food & Wine Fest at Lake Eola in November. WLOQ also produces Smooth Jazz Under the Stars in the spring in Baldwin Park and the summer series Jazz Jams Uptown at Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs, but they're too far out to think about right now,
DeSimone says.
Although WLOQ continues to stream online at wloq.com, the DJs are gone. The station's fans were further crushed when the new owner of 103.1 debuted on Aug. 1 with a radio lineup of all Elvis, all the time (one WLOQ Facebook fan pleaded, "Shoot me now.''). However, "Elvis 103.1'' gave way to Spanish-language music station KQ103 on Aug. 3.
[OCTOBER 3 UPDATE: WLOQ officials now say the Orlando Food & Wine Fest will not be held this year, although they are looking into staging it next year. Also, the station is no longer streaming on wloq.com.]

I wasn't crushed. In fact, many weren't crushed. Stupid arse program managers over so many years of not listening to...the listening public...may surprise many,but not the musically informed.Over a very long period time the station format was tinkered with and tweaked...and for what? If just a few in the illustrious world of WLOQ management paid attention to those in the know, like professional session musicians as myself,the area lovers of smooth jazz wouldn't have had it shoved up their collective noses. It was bad enough when WSJT Tampa moved off 94.1 and relocated the transmitting site. If you wanted real and un-tinkered with smooth jazz and on-the-air personalities who DOD NOT try to make the show at least partially about them,like Mark Taylor, WSJT was the station many smooth jazz listeners in central Florida turned to. NOT WLOQ!Speaking of Taylor, funny to see him at such a peanut station when he so strutted himself as he did with LOQ.Reality sucks, doesn't it Mark? YOU are the reason many turned out backs on WLOQ. It all started with, "Hey Waiter!There's a condom in my soup!" Remember that moron? Coupled with that and a continuous string of sexually charged comments and on-the-air arrogance and pretentious BS...see ya' chump!
