If predicting the future was easy or reliable, I would be writing this column from a Pebble Beach mansion financed by waiting until the Red Sox fell behind the Yankees three games to none in the 2004 ALCS, then betting every single dollar I had that Boston would rally and win the World Series. Unfortunately, predictions aren't easy or reliable.
For instance, when New Year's Day 2000 dawned no one seemed to care very much about steroids, so who predicted they would become the new decade's most important (and overblown) story? Or perhaps that was just because we were too busy emptying the bathtubs of water stored for a Y2K disaster. Nonetheless, within a few years steroids became the subject of federal investigations, testimony at congressional hearings, a talking point in the State of the Union address and the source of more outraged columns than Pete Rose. (And just think of the uproar if Pete had admitted to taking steroids.)
The steroids hysteria was kind of surprising given that they were such a nonissue in the '90s. It wasn't because of ignorance. Fans chanted "steroids" at Jose Canseco way back in 1988, and the country embraced Mark McGwire as a national hero in 1998 despite learning that he was taking androstenedione. It just didn't seem to matter to people then.
Oh, and by steroids, I mean steroids in baseball. No one cares about steroids and PEDs in football where, as we all know, players are naturally 6-foot-4, 260 pounds with 29-inch waists, 400-pound bench presses and 4.3 40 times. It's only in baseball that steroids are the problem. And golf.
My first prediction for the coming decade, however, is that the steroids furor will die away. In fact, by the time I make my predictions for the 2020s, I believe Americans will accept steroids and HGH the same way we regard the use of those drugs with the lengthy side-effect warnings so frequently advertised on TV and in magazines. You know the ones.
"Serious side effects include: serious infections including TB, nervous system problems, such as multiple sclerosis, rare reports of serious blood problems (some fatal) and lymphoma." "Some people have had changes in behavior, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal thoughts or actions." "In patients with asthma, medicines like [ours] may increase the chance of asthma-related death "
Those warnings are from actual advertisements found in the current issue of Sports Illustrated, which has been a leading anti-steroid voice for decades. And just as we take those drugs for their promised benefits despite such warnings, we'll also be taking HGH and other PEDs in 2019. I'm not saying this will be healthy; merely that it will happen. Men will take HGH to look ripped like the guys on the covers of fitness magazines, to hit more home runs in softball leagues and, of course, because they think their marginally increased "guns" will be an even more effective tool for picking up women in bars.
How will pro leagues, so slow to react to the use of steroids in the first place, respond to this new acceptance of PEDs? They will debate, deliberate and procrastinate, hem and haw, twiddle their thumbs, create blue panel commissions and in the end decide that the simplest course of action will be continue with their current ineffective testing programs that catch virtually no one anyway.
Not that any of this acceptance of steroids will prevent bitter baseball writers from withholding their Hall of Fame vote for McGwire, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
Prediction 2: There will be a professional competitive eating league on the Food Network by 2015, with the great Alton Brown doing play-by-play, Kobayashi providing color and Kirstie Alley reporting from the sideline.
Prediction 3: There will be a college football playoff by 2015. Not only will no one be satisfied; there will be spirited cries to go back to the old bowl system in 2016.
Prediction 4: There will be a class-action suit filed against the NFL on behalf of brain-damaged players. The NFL will lose, requiring the league to pay several billion dollars in damages. To protect itself against future lawsuits, the league will mandate that any player suffering a concussion be sidelined for the next four games of the 21-game regular season. This will not solve the problem, but it will require fans to draft plenty of backup quarterbacks on their fantasy teams.
Prediction 5: Due to the Tiger Woods affair, athletes' behavior and romances off the field will be covered by the paparazzi in the same way celebrities are, which will require a slight retooling of the current media rules for covering personal lives. With only four daily newspapers left in the country by mid-decade (The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and Grit), the Baseball Writers' Association of America will be forced to admit TMZ and E! "reporters" as members. These new members will immediately refuse to cast Hall of Fame votes for McGwire, Bonds, Clemens or Sean Penn.
Prediction 6: Baseball will announce plans to expand to Japan by the end of the decade, while the NBA and NFL announce plans to expand into Europe earlier. Resistant columnists and sports radio hosts will complain about baseball games beginning after midnight.
Prediction 7: Soccer will grow in popularity but still remain far short of the country's established Big Seven sports: Football, baseball, basketball, hockey, auto racing, golf and competitive eating.
Prediction 8: Newspapers will continue to shrink while fans increasingly get their sports news from media giants ESPN, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and TMZ. Desperate for sports content, networks will begin televising video games in prime time, beginning with "Madden 16." Meanwhile, ESPN will open local bureaus in every city with NFL, MLB, NBA or NHL teams, yet still will be accused of East Coast bias.
Prediction 9: Despite continuous speculation that pro sports has finally reached an unsustainable level and that salaries and ticket prices cannot continue to rise, salaries and ticket prices will continue to rise.
Prediction 10: Jamie Moyer will retire. Brett Favre will retire several times.

Athens-Clarke police arrested Maurice Dunn, 21, of Janice Drive, on Thursday following an assault on a 20-year-old woman inside his home.
Dunn was charged with aggravated assault, making a terroristic threat, trespassing, family violence battery, and cruelty to children. The woman said that during an argument, Dunn pushed her into the kitchen island, then slammed her head into a sink before choking her until she lost consciousness.
Dunn, who told police the dispute was only verbal, was previously arrested in Madison County on a charge of assaulting the same woman.
Athens-Clarke police were called to Fortson Drive about 3:30 p.m. Thursday after a resident of the street saw a man knocking on doors and looking inside open carports.
A responding officer located Ronald Keith Daniels, 45, of Lavender Road, who said he was going door to door looking for work. The officer, who knew Daniels from prior incidents, charged him with loitering.
A Birmingham, Ala., man said he was mugged by two men in downtown Athens early Friday morning, according to an Athens-Clarke police report.
The man said he was on Lumpkin Street looking for his car about 3:30 a.m. when the two men approached and offered to help him. He found the car parked next to the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce building, where one of the men forced him to the ground, and the other searched through his pockets and removed his car keys, police said.
A 26-year-old Athens man reported Thursday night that he was robbed in his home by two men who pistol whipped him and bound his hands with duct tape, according to an Athens-Clarke police report.
The man told an officer he was sleeping in his Rustwood Drive home about 10 p.m. when he was awakened by the two young black men. The victim said that during the struggle he managed to pull his hands free from the duct tape and the robbers fled the house taking his cellphone and debit card.
The man, who was bleeding, was taken by ambulance to Athens Regional Medical Center.

Released: Mar 01st, 2004
Running Time: 118
Companies: The Body Shoppe, The Body Shoppe/Valley Pro Video
Distribution Companies: Valley Pro Video
Cast: Pee Wee, Alex (II), Heidi (I), Others
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Gay Specialty
This release should appeal to fans of the first volume and those who like the gritty amateur feel of dealing with awkward porn divas.
Red-haired and wholesome-looking Miss Heidi serves up a supremely awkward and sometimes painfully realistic amateur selection of youthful sex. After having "lost her virginity" in the previous volume, she now largely acts coy, complains about her partners' fucking too hard, and behaves as though she's some kind of red-hot sex sensation. Fortunately for viewers, once she shuts up and fucks, she looks good. Her supposed friends, Ms. M and Serenity, on the other hand, seem to like what they're doing just fine and don't spend time complaining. Some scenes include no bisexual interactions. The DVD release features some acceptable hard and soft photos.

Does winrar work? Or are you doing some stupid company specific thing?
Anything that opens Rars will work fine, we are just trying to make it alittle easier for some people.
@at ChaoticNeutral
Good job i could figure it out myself!
its fukin obvious fool
i would even use what he provides to save myself trouble!
to save myself corupting files!
learn how to put 2X2 together like sherlock makes look easy!
this program is great
It is a great program, use it all the time.
Best file archiver imo
it has its own problems ^^
for example if there is an error or corupted file in there the program gives an error and stop working most time you manage to close it without the task manager
winrar just say that there is a file that is coprut ore broken and unpack the rest of the files (mostley only 7zip even say there is an error)
and when i have like a 10 part video to unpack 7 zip mostley is too stupid to check that the rest of the file is in the other files winrar never make such a mistake
so i have both programs just in case
I thought everybody already used winrar or 7zip. Its hard to find a mod or file that isnt compressed with one of them. I doubt anybody uses winzip anymore, its compression sucks compared to rar/7zip.
I use winzip all the time and it's fine.
7zpi has allways been my favorite

I am trying to edit the html of each individual page of my site with a child theme. What I've done is created a .php file in my child theme folder with the page-[slug] prefix. But, when I go to that page locally it doesn't have the same content as it does in that created file, it has default content in there. So, I am assuming that my child theme isn't overriding the default content.
I am not sure what steps to take into consideration.

Just a few ideas for forum improvements.
Being able to mark a topic as resolved is nice. Maybe a customized search could be created or option added to existing search "search for only resolved threads" to help people find solutions.
Unanswered threads - Also similar to that idea is you could also offer a quick link or way to show a search for only unresolved threads or topics with no reply. Current I dont think there is an easy way to do this. Its a common feature in forum ui because it helps people who are there to help find threads faster they think they can assist with by scanning the list of topics.
Also I have seen a lot of sites adopting the ability to highlight a particular post as 'the answer'.

A sickly-looking white birch in Ditmas Park is a disaster waiting to strike unsuspecting pedestrians, claim outraged residents who want the city to tear the dying tree out of the ground before it keels over.
Bob Pandolfo, co-president of the Beverly Square West Neighborhood Association, says he's called 311 twice about the leafless hardwood on Argyle Road between Albemarle and Beverly roads, only to be told that the city made an inspection and found nothing wrong with the tree.
"If it's a dead tree, it should be taken down," said Pandolfo. "I know people who have been hit by large falling branches."
The citizen tree pruner said he's kept an eye on the lackluster timber while taking his dog out for daily walks.
"Other white birches are fully leafed out, but this guy has no leaves," Pandolfo said.
A slew of budget cuts have raised questions about the city's effectiveness in caring for its 2.5 million trees, although it was recently forced to increase funding for the Parks Department following several costly lawsuits on behalf of victims injured or killed by falling branches and limbs on trees previously identified by the city as being problematic.
It's not the first time Ditmas Park residents have lashed out against the Parks Department in their neck of the woods.
In March the city removed 24 beech trees it planted on Stratford Road after neighbors complained they were at odds with the area's historical design. Then in June, the city yanked a pair of locust trees from outside a clothing store on Church Avenue despite residents' protests.
Pandolfo said he was alarmed that the city would haul off healthy trees, but leave a rotting one in place.
Calls to the Parks Department were not returned.

We have developed the notion of lexicon density as a metric to measure the expected accuracy of handwritten word recognizers. Thus far, researchers have used the size of the lexicon as a gauge for the difficulty of the handwritten word recognition task. For example, the literature mentions recognizers with accuracies for lexicons of sizes 10, 100, 1000, and so forth, implying that the difficulty of the task increases (and hence recognition accuracy decreases) with increasing lexicon size across recognizers. Lexicon density is an alternate measure which is quite dependent on the recognizer. There are many applications, such as address interpretation, where such a recognizer-dependent measure can be useful. We have conducted experiments with two different types of recognizers. A segmentation-based and a grapheme-based recognizer have been selected to show how the measure of lexicon density can be developed in general for any recognizer. Experimental results show that the lexicon density measure described is more suitable than lexicon size or a simple string edit distance

Beemo (BMO) Necklace-Polymer Clay-AT by ThePetiteShopWatch
©2013-2016 ThePetiteShop
Be the first to own this necklace, where it is sold nowhere else on Etsy or online!
(This is my original idea/piece) I am the original creator......
This is truly a OOAK (One Of A Kind) necklace. Its based of a show on Cartoon
network called "Adventure Time." Beemo or also known as BMO is sitting on Finn's
red toothbrush. When Finn the human and Jake the dog leave, Beemo (BMO) runs
to the bathroom and pretends to brush his teeth like a real boy (: How cute, huh?
Etsy Shop: [link]
Toothbrush 3" 1/2 inches (H) x 1 cm (W)
Beemo (BMO) 1" 1/2 inches (H) x 2 cm (W)
Necklace Length: About 21" inches
*Item is glazed for added protection & shine*
PLEASE NOTE: If you would like to purchase Beemo (BMO) as a single charm, please
send me a note. I would be more than happy to make you a charm!
Everything you see is 100% handmade, using no molds. Each color was hand mixed
to get the perfect shade of colors for Beemo (BMO).

JUNEAU (AP) -- State senators want to find out whether gender bias affects pay for state workers. They passed a bill Friday that would pay for a $50,000 study of the issue.
Women working for the state are paid less on average than men, said Sen. Dave Donley, R-Anchorage, and the state needs to find out why that's happening and whether the disparity is legal.
Although it appears the state's hiring and job classification practices are sound, the state needs to be sure to avoid the possibility of costly lawsuits, he said.
''That's the smart way to do business,'' Donley said.
Administration Commissioner Jim Duncan doesn't think there's a problem with gender bias in the state's pay system, but he doesn't oppose the study.
Women and men hired for the same job make the same pay unless one has worked longer or is working in a part of the state with a geographic pay differential, Duncan said.
What the state needs to look at, though, is whether some types of jobs that are dominated by women, such as nursing, are undervalued compared to jobs dominated by men, he said.
''Clearly we don't want to have biases or flaws in our system,'' Duncan said. ''We have no reason to believe that's the case.''
Sen. Lyda Green, R-Mat-Su, cast the only vote against the bill, which was approved 17-1. She said she was concerned that the bill didn't provide a time lag for the state to correct a problem if one is found.
She's also concerned about the cost. The state would spend $50,000 on an initial study, but if that didn't answer the question, a more in-depth study would be conducted at a cost estimated at $500,000 or more.
The bill now goes to the House.

Zoe Saldana
Altuzarra Spring 2012
Trends for Fashion Week this season seems to be eyelets, mesh, paneling, tropical, floral prints, and leather/pleather. There were tones of each of those in many of the shows so far. The Spring 2012 Altuzarra wasn't an exception either.
Looks were kept body-con, tight to the skin, and structured. Shoulders especially, were strong at the Altuzarra show, not padded like the looks of Balmain, just well tailored and angled at 90 degrees. I think the dresses are great. I think the one above is one that needs to be seen on someone like Zoe Saldana or Jennifer Lawrence, as well as the dress on Arizona Muse. Those two would have to be my favorite looks from his show this season. You can see some of the looks from the collection below.
Zoe Saldana in AG Adriano Goldschmied
Zoe Saldana smiles for the cameras as she meets up with friends for lunch in Hollywood. Zoe showed off her legs in a pair of tiny AG Adriano Goldschmied jeans and a polka dot blouse.
Zoe's latest film, Colombiana, premiered in late August. Zoe's character witnesses the murder of her parents as a child and decides that she wants to become an assassin. Has anyone seen the film yet? Check out how Zoe has worn AG jeans before here. You can buy AG jeans online at Singer22.com.
Zoe Saldana in Nobody Denim
Zoe Saldana was caught making her way to the studio in Los Angeles, California. She wore a pair of the Nobody Rebel Leggings in Amber. I love this outfit, from the ankles up. The shoes really throw it off for me. I think a black shoe would work a lot better.
I do like the jeans with the shirt, the blues really go well together. Those jeans though are pretty great. I like the multiple tears at the knees. I also like the fit on Zoe. They are one of the best fitting skinny jeans that I have seen on her. Buy Nobody Denim at DonnaIda.com.

Zoe Saldana in J Brand
Actress Zoe Saldana was snapped by the paps as she was chatting to her fans and signing autographs after appearing on the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" show in Los Angeles, California a few days ago.
Zoe chose to wear a pair of J Brand Babe flared jeans in Classic wash with a neon orange oversized shirt. I really love the wash of these jeans and the fit of them, I just feel like they are a tad bit too long on Zoe because it looks like she is floating, you can't see any inclination of a shoe under those hems. I do love orange and blue together though! Buy these jeans at J Brand for $207.

Airbnb Users: State Prosecutors Want to Know Who You Are
New York subpoenas the company.
New York's attorney general, Eric Schneiderman, wants Airbnb to hand over data for 15,000 people who have used the site to list their apartments. The state has been trying to recover what it says are lost property taxes of about fifteen percent per rental. Airbnb calls the subpoena "overbroad," but for a state that continues to struggle to make its budget, a Schneiderman spokesman's comment is telling: "New York can't afford to leave this much money on the table." Expect this fight to get serious.

Charged three times for a dress I ordered, following two (what I thought were) failed attempts to pay, meaning three payments were pending to leave my account which I had not budgeted for! It's now 3 days later the payment hasn't been accepted yet, let alone the dress being dispatched. I'm not able to cancel the online order (ridiculous) and I've ended up buying the same dress in store as there is no way it will arrive in time for the event I need it for.

I recently wore a dress from Coast, which was bought over two years ago and didn't belong to me. I happened to lose the attached flower corsage and, since I was borrowing the dress from someone else, I quickly contacted Coast to see if there was some way I could purchase another one. My email was answered almost instantly, and within a few days the Coast representative had located a new flower and had it shipped to me, completely free of charge.

Only disapointment is that the dresses come up small. Dresses are folded in black tissue paper placed in a coast bag inside a plain brown box.

unbelievable I could have written exactly the same story, ordered 2 dresses for bridesmaids, one arrived june/july (Australia) the third bridesmaid bought the same dress somehow through mexico as that is where she lives, the one that didn't turn up was going to wales was not sent because the billing address (australia) was not the same as the poastal adress (wales) but why did they not tell us this was a problem, AND WHY DO THEY GIVE THE OPTION FOR A DIFFERENT BILLING & POASTAL ADRESS IF THEY WONT EXCEPT ANYWAY!!!! NOBODY CONTACTED US when we finally realised that the dress is not going to arrive in Wales ....they have run out of stock. So now we have paid for 2 dresses plus alterations ; we now have to buy 3 new dresses and COAST for compensation have offered us 10% discount if we buy through them .......I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED

Is there an easy way to do this? Does the data *have* to go to a file? e.g., are you writing it via your application, or is the Postgres server doing so? If Postgres is not, you could do something like: response = self.response() data = self.fetchData() response.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain') self.write(data) and skip the whole file business.

You'll have to try out your idea and Ian's and let us know. Well, you could also consider delivering a .zip or .tar file assuming the end user has something like WinZip and doesn't mind the extra step. Also, I think the user can configure IE to always open, always download or always ask. Perhaps the real solution is to provide your users with that pointer and leave it to their preference, instead of trying to force it and be tricky. -Chuck

I was educated up to PhD as an experimental physicist, but most of the time I spend as a lecturer of classical physics to undergraduate students of engineering. Therefore, I am getting help at TeX forum in order to prepare materials for students, and giving help at physics forum due to my experience as a lecturer. Consequently, my answers are oriented on students and explaining basic physical knowledge, which means that I am much less concerned about deep theoretical questions on principles, which are prevalent on StackExchange. Cheers!

Product Description
A quick and easy anal cleaning solution in one set. Benefit from a deep clean before anal play or sex begins by connecting the Clean Stream enema set to your shower and voilà, a clean and shiny bottom is yours to enjoy.
Connect the kit permanently or temporarily to your shower for easy enemas any time using the adjustable valve, then use the tap to regulate water flow for a comfortable cleansing experience.
A valve with regulating tap fits directly to the existing shower pipe, allowing you to connect both the shower hose and the included bidet hose to the shower pipe. You then connect your choice of nozzle to the bidet hose.
To regulate the amount of water flowing through the bidet hose, simply turn the tap on the valve and the flow of water is reduced. Turn the tap towards the shower hose and the shower will operate. Turn the tap towards the bidet hose and water will flow through the enema outlet. Turning the tap away from the bidet hose will slow the flow of water through the tip.
Please note: nozzle measurements refer to insertable length.
Key Features:
- Stainless steel deluxe enema kit for deep anal cleansing
- Can be attached temporarily or permanently to your shower
- Tap feature lets you regulate water flow for maximum comfort
- Kit includes: stainless steel 6-foot bidet hose, stainless steel split valve with tap, stainless steel thin enema nozzle with open tip 2.75 inches long x 1 inch in circumference, stainless steel thicker enema nozzle with 5-hole jet tip 4.5 inches long x 2.5 inches, and 4 x rubber washers

Clean Stream Deluxe Shower Enema Set

Near Perfect
Reviewed: 8 May 2016 by TheHonestHedonist, a Bisexual Going Steady Male
The positives:
Cleans well, quickly, and thoroughly. Can also be used effectively, once clean, for enema play. Both nozzles are comfortable to use and do not scratch or bruise, unlike some cheaper douches. Very easy to keep clean and sterile. Can be used as a high-pressure nozzle and massage nozzle.
The negatives:
The only negatives have to do with my particular shower set up, as I had to modify the casing of my shower unit to accommodate the valve. Also, if you do not have a pressure gauge on your shower unit, it can be hard to get the right flow.
- Pros
- Cleans quickly, and well, without too much hassle.
- Cons
- Maybe having another few spare rubber washers would be handy.
- Bottom line
- Clean, effective, and has multiple uses. A good buy.

I bought this having used some of the hand pumped enemas and finding the process of pumping the water manually to be slow and laborious.
I find the Stream Clean Enema to be much more pleasurable to use. It's easy to set up and makes the process much quicker. Also being able to adjust the flow makes this a good enema to use.
I would only recommend this if you have a pressure adjustable shower with a consistent temperature. The attachments provided are both comfortable with no sharp edges.
The quality of this product is good, and I'm sure it will still be going strong in years to come as there's nothing really to go wrong with it.
- Pros
- Decent quality, long-lasting.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Makes the process much easier.

Great product
Reviewed: 23 June 2014 by BennyB, a Gay Going Steady Male
Everyone likes the feeling of being clean inside and out - this product does exactly what it's supposed to do.
I personally don't find enema or douching to be all that sexual or enjoyable, its a necessary evil that just needs to be done. I like the metal, clean feeling of it - nothing worse than a cock-shape nozzle!
It's extremely well made and has a long hose. I like that it even includes the switch connector to switch it between the showerhead. However, I personally have to take it away after every use as I've had nightmares of walking in on the cleaner using it to wash down the bath haha.
I especially like the 2 optional heads for it. I like the larger one with multiple holes, while my OH prefers the thinner 'single shot' option.
- Pros
- Easy to use, connect and disconnect.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Does what it says on the tin.

Peacock and Gamble
The world used to be a desolate, sad and dark place. A barren land where nothing would grow and the only sustenance for the craggy ground came from the tears of recently orphaned children. And then, in 2005, Ray Peacock and Ed Gamble met. A rainbow exploded across the sky and God winked.
'A hugely entertaining double act' (The Independent).
