Canvas Print
Fine art print on bright white, fine poly-cotton blend, matte canvas using latest generation Epson archival inks. Individually trimmed and hand stretched museum wrap over 1-1/2" deep wood stretcher bars. Includes wall hanging hardware.
I definitely admire this piece. Look into the new Robocop movie coming in 2014 or 2015. The new look of Robocop is decent enough. Maybe you could do a piece based on that as well.

Union Minister of State for Environment Jairam Ramesh said over the weekend that the Coastal Zone Regulation (CRZ) notification 2011 would give a new lease of life to Mumbai and that it was the one last chance to save the great city. The new notification provided for redevelopment, which is monitored and audited by the government, and the Right to Information act, are applicable to it.
Mr. Ramesh who came to Mumbai to announce the provisions for the city, said that after a gap of 20 years, when the first CRZ notification was announced, special status was given to Mumbai, Goa, and Kerala, and for certain critically vulnerable coastal areas like the Sunderbans, Gulf of Mannar among other areas. He said India's 7,500 km coastline cannot have one law and "we must look at the special needs of Mumbai."
Anticipating flak from environmentalists, Mr. Ramesh said that the notification was not a capitulation to the builders' lobby; instead, it recognised the special needs of Mumbai and the enormous demographic and development pressures. "We cannot allow a slow death of the city and with the CRZ 1991 notification, the city would have bled," he said. It is a liberalising of the CRZ, he said. "It is a safeguarded liberalisation and we are putting in checks and balances. If we find that the safeguards are violated, I will be the first to say enough. It's a huge gamble and we appeal to the Chief Minister and citizens to give this experiment a fair chance," he said.
"After a long gap, we have recognised the unique characteristic of Mumbai which is the only island city and we need a pragmatic and practical CRZ which we have provided," he stressed.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan said that the new notification was bold and revolutionary. Now Mumbai will not die like other great industrial cities and it got a new chance, he remarked, adding that the city would develop more responsibly and vibrantly keeping environmental concerns in mind.
Mr. Ramesh said that the old law was amended 25 times and admitted that the new notification was a challenge to implement. All violations of CRZ 1991 notification, where action was initiated, would be pursued, and violations like Adarsh society will not be condoned. The Ministry of Environment and Forests is issuing a directive on Monday under Section five of the Environment Protection Act to all States, to identify all CRZ violations and initiate action four months later. Goa is the only State which has mapped about 5000 violations, and if they are committed by five star hotels and holiday homes, they will not be condoned, Mr. Ramesh said.
In Mumbai, 146 slums in the CRZ- 2 areas, which have 47,000 families can now go in for redevelopment. A total population of 5 to 6 lakh living in the Greater Mumbai CRZ 2 area will benefit. Thirty -eight Koliwadas or the settlements of the fishing community, will be declared as CRZ-3 instead of CRZ-2. This means no one other than the Kolis, who are said to be the original inhabitants of Mumbai, can carry out redevelopment in the area. Mr. Ramesh requested the State government to identify the families in slums and buildings and make sure they were not evicted.
The new rules provide for large open spaces in Mumbai, like parks and play grounds, and these areas will be categorised as CRZ-3 which is a no-development zone. The no development zone, which was of 200 metres from the high tide line, is being reduced to 100 metres.
Now there are special safeguards for slum dwellers and no slum development can take place without the State government being involved, he said. The redevelopment has to be carried out by a special purpose vehicle where the Maharashtra government or its agencies has a 51 per cent share, and all this is subjected to the audit by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG). In the case of dilapidated buildings, the owners can carry out the redevelopment or give it to private builders, and RTI is applicable here too. It is for the first time that the law has stipulated the application of RTI for an essentially private activity, Mr Ramesh pointed out.
The redevelopment will be jointly monitored by a high level oversight committee of the State and the Central government, and there will be a concurrent audit. He said that the floor space index (FSI) in CRZ-2 was 1.33, and outside was 2.5; now the rules allow an FSI of 2.5, creating a uniform regime for slum and building redevelopment.

CRISTAL FESTIVAL: Publicis Groupe reorganised itself for Renault
By Maisie McCabe, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 14 December 2012 11:31AM
Publicis Groupe has changed the way it works to reflect the reorganisation of the Renault marketing team as the advertising giant and car maker evolve away from the traditional relationship between a supplier and a client.
In a session at the Cristal festival at Crans-Montana in Switzerland yesterday (13 December) Dominique Musset, worldwide advertising director at Renault international, said Renault's marketers had found "new ways of working".
Musset said: "We pulled down walls restricting the way the marketing division worked together and with the communications division. We now have 360 -degree marketing and 360-degree communications.
"It worked so well we felt we could no longer work separately."
After Renault had restructured itself to become more integrated, its Publicis Groupe digital agency Moxie followed suit.
Musset said: "This might be a scoop, but Publicis is reorganising itself to help us. Once we agreed on the architecture it was not a traditional relationship between a supplier and client.
"It is indispensable to have people who are specialised and highly organised."
One of the major campaigns Moxie created for Renault (alongside Digitas France) is the car marque's partnership with the international DJ David Guetta, which featured revellers in a music video powering Renault's electric city vehicle, Twizy, by dancing on a special floor.
Gael Solignac-Erlong, deputy managing director, Moxie France, said the Guetta video generated more than three million views in the first week. Overall, it generated 700 blog posts, 4,300 tweets and more than €3.4m (£2.8m) worth of earned media.
Solignac-Erlong said: "Brands are getting digital and it changes everything. It changes the link, the relationship between the fans and the family of the artist."

Qualifying offers will be worth $14.1 million
Joel Sherman of the New York Post hears that the value of this year's one-year qualifying offer for impending free agents will be $14.1 million.
Qualifying offers were worth $13.3 million last offseason, so this is a jump of $800,000. The figure is determined by the average of the 125 highest-paid players in MLB. Teams must make a qualifying offer in order to secure draft pick compensation if a player signs elsewhere in free agency. For what it's worth, nine players received qualifying offers last winter (the first year of the new system) and none of them accepted.

Qualifying Offers To Be Worth $14.1MM This Offseason
By Steve Adams [October 11 at 3:45pm CST]
The value of this year's one-year qualifying offer for free agents will be $14.1MM, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post (on Twitter). That sum represents an $800K increase from last year's $13.3MM mark.
Major League Baseball's latest collective bargaining agreement did away with the old Elias Rankings and Type-A/Type-B free agent system in lieu of the qualifying offer system. Simply put, teams who wish to receive draft pick compensation for the loss of a free agent to another team must first make a qualifying one-year offer that is worth the average salary of MLB's 125 highest-paid players. Only after the free agent rejects that offer is his former team eligible to receive a compensatory first-round pick.
Last year, just nine free agents received qualifying offers, and none of the nine accepted them. This year, the Mariners have already said that they will extend a qualifying offer to Kendrys Morales, and agent Scott Boras has said they will reject the offer. Rangers GM Jon Daniels also said that he expects to make a qualifying offer to impending free agent Nelson Cruz.
MLBTR's Tim Dierkes recently conducted a poll asking MLBTR readers which players would receive qualifying offers following the regular season. Not surprisingly, Robinson Cano led the way as the most likely to receive an offer. Jacoby Ellsbury, Shin-Soo Choo, Brian McCann and Hunter Pence were the next five on the list, although Pence can obviously be removed from the equation, as he signed a five-year extension with the Giants shortly after the poll was conducted.
**Note: In the 2014 Draft, the first 11 picks will be protected instead of the first 10, as the Blue Jays will receive the 11th pick as compensation for failure to sign 2013 first-rounder Phil Bickford.
Wish my industry had qualifying offers. :D
So Choo for sure, maybe Arroyo get offers...am I right?
No offer to Arroyo would be playing way too safe for me. The chance he accepts is worth the risk when talking about an additional first round pick. There is a lot of value in those picks. Look at all the value the Cardinals stand to gain if Wacha is a reliable starter for the next few years. About a 90 million value for a fraction of that. Worth the risk of him accepting. One year deals for 14 million should not greatly alter any Front Office plans, even if he did accept.
The latest has the Reds considering (and Arroyo likely to accept) a 2 year deal for 24 million that would wrap his $14 million QO with his remaining deferred money into a special 2 year deal that would buyout the deferrals (15 million thru 2021). Essentially 9 million additional for two more years with no deferred money left on the books after 2015.
You know, they are going to owe him 15 million of that anyway. Might not be such a bad idea. And it might be telling what they intend to do with Bailey. Plus they wouldn;t have that money hanging around their necks after 2015 either.
The report I read said Arroyo was likely to accept a deal because 1/he really likes working with Bryan Price and 2/he really would like to stay in Cincinnati. If it is true then he's offering a heck of a discount actually. It's just whether or not the Reds want to take him up on it.
That would be a pretty good move for the Reds, but Arroyo seems to be giving up a lot of money since he's going to get the $15 Million anyway. Got a link to this? Seems really an about face from what Arroyo was saying about maximizing his final shot at a payday.
If Arroyo is back on a deal like that, the Reds could probably deal 2 of Leake, Bailey or Chapman with the idea of filling other holes. That would fill a lot of them I'd think. If Arroyo is back and Chapman starting is back on the table, that would be 7 starters for 5 spots. I like having the depth, but these guys are all too good to be depth guys. 2 could be dealt with possibly a lesser depth guy or a near ready kid back as the depth guy as a part of the return.
mth - here is the link. The writer is Rob Huff a Yahoo ESPN contributor so take that for what it's worth (not much). I had to search to even find the darn link even though I just read it last night (I knew I wasn't nuts):
Here's another link from bleacherreports that predicts Arroyo is back with the Reds:
Again, just another writer spouting an opinion but since Price's hiring the worm seems to be turning in opinions around the game about Bronson staying. A week ago everyone seemed convinced the only way he was staying was if the Reds made a QO that he accepted. Now some are predicting some kind of deal will be reached.
Money-wise, I can only surmise that if the Reds do sign Arroyo, even at seems a relatively good deal, it signals that Bailey is not interested in an extension despite Price's hire (because pundits are also saying Bailey is very happy Price is hired, too). I think if the Reds FO believes they can't sign Bailey, or the money would be way beyond their means (and it might if they want to extend Latos and keep Choo) then Bailey gets traded and Arroyo staying looks better. And I agree, if Arroyo gets signed then 1 or 2 guys Bailey and possibly Chapman or Leake end up traded for prospects and near ready guys. I wonder if Chapman for Porcello and Castellanos is still on the table?
Yes it would but after investigating I caution that Hoff was probably pulling this out of his butt with a deadline approaching and as he put down his PS3 realized he needed something fast. I haven't found an Arroyo or Reds FO glimmer of affirmation of this - I am sorry I even posted it - another ill conceived internet rumor it looks like. Jake

In a system which boots, but where I've gone back to chroot, and in my results during regular chroot, I get more than 80 failures when running the tests as root. Most of them in t/instspc.tap. I tried running the tests as a regular user (as I say, I've booted the system once), using chown me * in the automake directory (with 1.12.3 - the sed is not appropriate for .3) - it had a few errors, but all the instspc.tap tests look as if they either PASSed of XFAILed. Unfortunately, this was unlogged and scrolled out of my term's buffer - it then died with an EPERM trying to create test-suite.log.tmp so I've now started it again, after chown me ../automake-1.12.3. BTW - thanks for running the tests, and looking at the results! (I often run them, but unless the package version has changed I don't often get round to looking at new failures - basically, I don't have a high regard for testsuites). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce

Ok, my experience (which can be bought for a small failsafe cut of 90%)((and this will differ from others)) I reckon the DRZ400 with Safari tank, Colbatch soft luggage, wolfman tank bag and small Wolfman or similar rollie for the back.
This is based on one up.
Two up the SE is a fantastic platform with how we have it set up, or the new F800GS Adventure or Tiger 800.
The next adventure will be only me (and Craig I hope ...so far) .... back to Iceland, 2-3 months June, July, August, then over to Europe, Russia, Stans, Asia and up to Anadyr in eastern Russia, looking for dudes to ride with
Bike will be DRZ400 as above, light, economical, Japanese, a little slower than a big bike but you get to see more ....bonus.
If adventure touring say two up then the SE with hard luggage as you can carry more, nothing less than Jesses end of story, Adv, F8 etc are all great bikes and all have their weaknesses .... there is NO perfect bike end of story.

Got black spore, so not an armarillia. Some kind of spylocibe?
Shiso? Square stalk with groove on each side. Taste and smell very mild, not much like the market shiso at all. Kinda hairy.
I think, not sure. Taste quite tart and sour. Trace of oxalic acid i guessing.
Leave are kinda shiny on top, white powdery and silver bottom, stalk a bit purple fiber. Tasted bitter in a nice way when cooked. Don't think it tasted bitter raw.
Square stalk, serrated leaves, smell and taste mild. I have no idea what it is.
Hmm all i know is that it is call Australian bush cherry, or lilli pili berry. The leaves from on the specie with that scientific name seem to be off, may ne i got the wrong variety?
Reminds me of a giant scarlet pimpernel. Growing wild at the edge of my favorite empty lot.
not completely sure, waiting for the orange flower. I also got most of the identification part from theweedyone from instagram. Awesome guy, he seem to know a lot.
found on eucalyptus, not recommend
prickly little thing, even though it not flowering in this picture, the prickly say its a galium aparine.
A wild edible. Say to contain a good amount of vitamin C. Known as a use for lymphatic, and blood purifier.
There are some turkey tail on that log as well
wild edible
Not exactly sure what is it? look like some kind of sage bush
black sage, short white flower, and dark lance leave are it's identifying key and to tell it apart from purple sage.
Smell quite nice, like the common sage at the market, but a little bit milder. Goes great as tea with a bit of honey, or can be use as herb in cooking.
There are some readings saying that sage have compound that increase more blood flow to the brain. It got something to do with increasing the charge of the blood cell, making them repel each other, increasing diffusing rate. very interesting stuff. Still should do your own research to be sure though.
found near compose, about 8 inches tall even when cap is not complete open yet.
yellow stain when cut in like 10 sec, smell mild, thus its not an A. xandothermus. Probably an A. califorcus, but I am not really sure what the califorcus smell like
smelled like lavender or sage leaves, haven't seen flower yet. Some one recommend that it could be a catnip. If only I have a cat to carry out the experiment.
shaggy mane, in the ink cap mushrooms family. Edible and more appealing before it completely dissolve into ink, leaving behind the stalk. There are readings saying that if consume with alcohol within 24 hours before or after consuming the ink cap mushroom family can make one extremely sick, so be cautious.
When fresh it have a nice chewy texture, but not much flavor to it. If you're going to harvest them, make sure to cook them within a couple hours, because the''ll start to dissolve, and turn into ink the moment you harvest it. Cooking would stop the inking process. Collect it when its white and haven't start turning black from the edge of the cap yet.
Make sure to do your own research, and learn to tell the different from the poisonous magpie fungus, which is also in the ink cap family, but it's cap have a zebra like pattern, it's cap is much shorter than the shaggy mane, and it have a dark brown color with white stripes.
bitter to taste, but can be use in tea for anxiety, and more
sweet, a bit citric, meaty little plum about the size of a chestnut. Only the ripe fruits are edible, the rest of the plant is poisonous. Can be enjoy raw.
Shaggy parasol, a wild edible. shaggy cap like it's name, gill must be white, spore must also be white like it's gill. Stain orange to brown when bruise or cut.
Make sure to do the spore sprint. On a black paper would be nice, because it's white spore won't show on a white paper. If it have green spore, it is not a lepiota rachodes, but a poisonous chlorophyllum molybdites.
If you got your identification correct, this is a delicious wild mushroom. It got a nice nutty sweet taste to it, that put the white button or portabella, to be more precise Agaricus bistorquis to shame. If you hate mushroom because you think its boring, that because you haven't try the shaggy parasol yet.
Get them while they're young, or when you can, because the bugs also love them. They usually come up right after the rain, and they come up fast, like over night. If there are lot of holes, like sponge when you cut them, and it have a lot of bug, just leave it behind for it to do it's thing. Whatever the bugs left behind can give some peoples a mild gastrointestinal distress.

Elite Eight
B. Edwards
And then there were eight. Twenty-four NFL teams are now on vacation, while an octet of squads are prepping for conference semifinal matchups this weekend.
Seattle and Green Bay will collide Saturday at 4:30 p.m. Eastern at Lambeau Field. Las Vegas Sports Consultants opened the Packers as eight-point favorites with a total of 40½. As of early Monday, most books had adjusted the number to 8½.
With Seattle head coach Mike Holmgren and Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre both closing in on the finish line of a pair of distinguished careers, it's only fitting that they meet again, possibly for the final time.
Favre's best days as a Packer were during Holmgren's seven-year tenure as head coach from 1992-1998. They went to two Super Bowls together, hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in 1996. But Holmgren bolted for Seattle following the 1998 campaign to become the director of all football operations.
Since then, Favre has been unable to reach another Super Bowl, but this season is his best chance in a decade. Holmgren led the Seahawks to a runner-up finish behind Pittsburgh two seasons ago, but this year could be his last hurrah.
This is a rematch of a 2003 playoff game that went into overtime. You remember, the game when Matt Hasselbeck announced during the coin flip that Seattle "wanted the ball and was gonna score." Of course, Al Harris picked off Hasselbeck minutes later and danced into the end zone to lift the Packers to a 33-27 victory.
However, the Seahawks did cash tickets as 7 ½-point underdogs that day. They also took the money in Saturday's 35-14 win over Washington as three-point home favorites.
The other NFC matchup is Sunday at 4:30 p.m. Eastern at Texas Stadium, where Dallas will play host to the New York Giants. LVSC opened the Cowboys as 8 ½-point favorites with a total of 48.
The early money came in on the Giants, causing betting shops to move to 7 ½ as of Monday morning. The G-Men advanced to the next round by winning 24-14 at Tampa Bay as three-point underdogs. It was the first postseason victory for New York since beating Minnesota 41-0 in the 2000 NFC Championship Game.
New England will square off against Jacksonville on Saturday night at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. LVSC opened the Patriots as 11 1/2-point home favorites with a total of 51.
The Jaguars blew a 28-10 third-quarter lead at Pittsburgh, but they got a last-minute field goal from Josh Scobee to take a 31-29 triumph. The Steelers covered the spread as 2 1/2-point underdogs. The 'over' continued to produce in Jacksonville games, improving to 10-0-1 in their last 11 contests.
This is a rematch of a 2005 playoff game in Foxboro. On that night, the Patriots collected a 28-3 win as 7 1/2-point favorites.
San Diego advanced to play Indianapolis by recovering from a nightmare first half to pound Tennessee in the second half en route to a 17-6 win. The Chargers, who trailed 6-0 at intermission, hooked up their backers as 10-point 'chalk.'
LVSC sent out the Colts as 7 1/2-point favorites, but that number quickly moved to eight or 8 1/2. The total opened at 47 1/2.

Gates hurts toe; questionable vs. Indy
January 6, 2008
Associated Press
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Chargers Pro Bowl tight end Antonio Gates was taken off the field on a cart after injuring a left toe late in the second quarter of Sunday's playoff against Tennessee.
Gates slipped after catching a short pass from Philip Rivers and was hit by tackle Tony Brown and linebacker David Thornton. He got up, tried to walk and then sat down to await team trainers.
Gates is questionable for next weekend's playoff game against the Colts.
"He'll be questionable," Chargers coach Norv Turner told ESPN.com. "It might be better than that, it might not be that good."
Re: Division Playoff News and Notes
Jaguars big underdog this week
The oddsmakers say the Jags have a chance, but public loves the Patriots.
It's not that the oddsmakers don't respect the Jaguars. That they're 13-point underdogs - and going higher - in their playoff game against New England is more a reflection of America's love affair with the 16-0 Patriots.
"The public's going to be all over the Patriots," Robert Walker, sports book director for MGM's 14 Nevada casinos, said from his Las Vegas office on Monday. "They're the biggest story in the NFL. But I think a lot of the pros will see value in Jacksonville."
The double-digit point spread is not uncommon for the Patriots, who were favored by more than 20 points in several games this season. New England won 11 games by more than 12 points, including seven by more than 20 and two by more than 40. The fervor has subsided somewhat after the Patriots failed to cover the spread in the last three regular-season victories.
The perception that the Jaguars (12-5) are generally under the radar no longer applies, said Walker, who noted that bettors pushed Jacksonville from a 1-point underdog to a 3-point favorite in their wild-card playoff game at Pittsburgh. The Jaguars won 31-29, nearly blowing a 28-10 lead in the second half.
Had the Jaguars not allowed the Steelers back in the game, the line for Saturday night's game against the Patriots would be lower, said Sean Van Patten of Las Vegas Sports Consultants, which sets the opening point spread for most casinos.
"If they would have continued and beat Pittsburgh the way they did in the first half, I could see 10 or 101/2 for this game," Van Patten said. "The line is a lot about what happened in the second half of that game."
Still, Vegas oddsmakers say they expect many of the professional handicappers to go against the tide and take the Jaguars.
"Personally, I think they have a chance to win," said MGM's Walker. "It's hard to say a team matches up well against a team that's 16-0, but I think Jacksonville matches up against them as well as anybody. New England, Indianapolis or Jacksonville representing the AFC in the Super Bowl wouldn't be a shock to me."
Walker, who sees the line climbing to at least 131/2, says it's too bad the Jaguars play in the ultra-competitive AFC with New England and Indianapolis.
"They'd probably be the favorite to make it to the Super Bowl if they were in the NFC," Walker said. "My perception is they're better than anyone else other than the top two."
Re: Division Playoff News and Notes
Three intriguing underdogs could spoil oddsmakers' bets
This much we know after the first week of NFL playoffs: Vegas oddsmakers are standing firm with their plan to make the AFC representative a 12-point Super Bowl favourite.
That opinion is based primarily on the theory of New England and Dallas earning their spot in Phoenix the first Sunday of February.
If the theory becomes fact, it will make for long, pre-Bowl weeks of obsessing over the Patriots, of course. But it also offers strong incentive to pay attention to the present.
Following a wild-card weekend that exceeded expectations in terms of quality, the divisional round should take that up a notch with at least three intriguing underdogs.
There will be enough focus on the Patriots, who shouldn't have much trouble with the Jacksonville Jaguars in Saturday night's prime-time contest at Foxborough.
The Pats have been the story since Week 9 when the watch for a perfect season unofficially began. It's difficult to fathom what could possibly be left to say about them in four weeks.
The Jags were full measure for a strong effort Saturday night in Pittsburgh but don't get carried away in thinking they have a chance in New England.
The Steelers were a mediocre opponent who couldn't match up physically yet they still almost pulled off a stunning comeback.
As tough as the Jags can be, they won't push around the Patriots like they did the Steelers. Other than his 32-yard run for the first down to set up the winning field goal, quarterback David Garrard struggled on Saturday night.
That makes him the type of fresh meat New England coach Bill Belichick likes to feed to his defence, a big reason why the Jags opened as 11-point underdogs, a number that is likely to climb higher.
The other AFC match of divisional weekend is flying under the radar but may be best of the four this weekend.
It has been easy to forget that the Indianapolis Colts are the reigning champs and as such, the last team to beat New England in last year's AFC championship.
Before they get another shot, though, the Colts will have to put back the San Diego Chargers, a team that may be the most dangerous to come out of the wild-card round.
Granted they were weak in the first half of yesterday's 17-6 win over the Tennessee Titans, probably the biggest reason they opened as 8 1/2 -point underdogs last night.
But when LaDainian Tomlinson is allowed to run, the opposition has a handful.
In a Week 10 meeting in San Diego, the Chargers squeaked out a 23-21 victory.
And don't forget 2005, when San Diego marched into Indy and spoiled the Colts bid for an undefeated season.
Both of the NFC contests have upset potential, especially if you buy into the theory that both Dallas and Green Bay are overrated.
First the Cowboys, who are early 7 1/2 -point picks over their NFC East rival New York Giants. The Giants made surprisingly easy work of Tampa Bay yesterday a week after pushing the Patriots to the brink in the regular season finale.
In those two games, the G-man have seen huge maturation of quarterback Eli Manning. Through his first 15 games this season, Manning coughed up 27 turnovers (20 interceptions and seven lost fumbles.)
In his last two, Manning has turned it over just once while throwing six touchdown passes.
The Giants pass rush made life miserable for Tom Brady and Jeff Garcia and will give Tony Romo all he can handle in Dallas. At 8 1/2 points, the Packers are even bigger favourites over the Seattle Seahawks, who looked solid knocking off the Redskins Saturday, especially on defence.
Re: Division Playoff News and Notes
Opening Line Playoff Report
Anticipating heavy play on NFL favorites this weekend, bookmakers have taken a preemptive strike on their early numbers. They've moved Green Bay, New England and Indianapolis higher than what oddsmakers suggested should be the opening numbers.
For instance, the oddsmakers at Las Vegas Sports Consultants sent-out an opening number on Seattle-Green Bay of Packers -7. The number immediately shot up to -9 at some books.
"They're (bookmakers) going from seven right to the next key number of nine," said Mike Seba, a senior linesmakers for LVSC. "They're skipping 7½, eight and 8½. "It's a strategy they're using.
"They're taking a stand with favorites. It's so tough for teams that won this past weekend to go on the road and win against a rested team."
It's clear the house wants to be on the side of the favorites this week. They know the public is going to be looking to back rested home favorites. They also know that Indianapolis, Dallas, New England and Green Bay are all public teams.
Seba said he though LVSC was shading the favorite when it sent out New England -11½ versus Jacksonville. The line, though, was up to a solid 13 Monday afternoon.
"We were thinking that a handicapping number was 9 ½ or 10," Seba said. "So we thought we were inflating it. We want to be on the high side of these favorites.
"But as it turns out we didn't inflate it enough. It has to be less than 14. So 13 could be the right number. If it got to 14, it would quickly come down because you can't lay 14 to Jacksonville.
"Jacksonville has been playing so well. The Jaguars are one of the few teams that could give the Patriots trouble."
Some bettors were hoping to lay seven with Indianapolis against San Diego. No chance of that. LVSC's recommendation was Colts – 7½. Sportsbooks were at 8½ or 9 Monday morning on the Colts.
The Chargers have won and covered in their past seven games. But San Diego may be without Pro Bowl tight end Antonio Gates, who suffered a toe injury Sunday against Tennessee and is 'questionable.'
"It's tough to make the line higher than 7½ considering how well the Chargers are playing," Seba said. "If he (Gates) were healthy, the line would be 7½."
Those betting the Colts also may be factoring in the team's first meeting during Week 10 in San Diego. The Chargers picked off Peyton Manning six times and returned a kickoff and punt for a touchdown. The Colts came into that matchup extremely banged-up and had to play in the rain.
Still, the Chargers only won by two points when Adam Vinatieri missed two field goals, including a 29-yarder with 1:31 left that may have given the Colts the victory.
"You might be able to draw conclusions from that game, but a lot has changed since then," Seba said. "The Chargers know they can play with Indianapolis. They beat them at Indianapolis two years ago (26-17). The value definitely might be with the 'dog."
The Giants-Cowboys line was the toughest one for the LVSC oddsmakers to make, Seba said. LVSC ended up sending out Cowboys -8½. Some places opened it shorter at -7. The line settled in at -7½ Monday afternoon.
The Cowboys are 2-0 against the Giants this season, defeating them 45-35 at home and 31-20 on the road. Dallas, however, has failed to cover its past four games. The Cowboys are averaging just 10.6 points during their last three contests.
The Giants played one of their finest games of the season during Week 17 in losing 38-35 to New England. The Giants followed that up by upsetting Tampa Bay as a three-point playoff road underdog, 24-14.
"I think 7½ is a good number," Seba said. "The Giants are coming in on a roll and Dallas isn't playing well. But the injuries the Giants have suffered eventually have to catch up to them. The Giants will run out of gas. It may happen here."
Seba said LVSC's opening line recommendation was factoring in Terrell Owens. Oddsmakers are anticipating he's going to play. Owens had suffered a high ankle sprain on Dec. 22 in a victory against Carolina.
Re: Division Playoff News and Notes
Injury Watch: T.O., Madison injuries are Giant factors
Terrell Owens has a gimpy ankle. Antonio Gates bent his left big toe backward last week. Marvin Harrison hasn't been able to play on his balky knee since Oct. 22.
By this time of the season, everyone is hurt. Even kickers get out of bed a little slower in the morning. Seven of the Elite Eight teams have a key starter who is questionable for this weekend's playoff game. As scary as it sounds, the undefeated Patriots also are the league's healthiest right now. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Here is an early look at the injuries that could change the course of the playoffs:
New York Giants at Dallas
WR Terrell Owens (ankle), Cowboys. Coach Wade Phillips rested some offensive linemen in the regular-season finale as a measure of prevention. And really, every offensive lineman is pretty sore by this time of the year. That happens when a bunch of abnormally large men beat on each other for three hours every Sunday.
The Owens injury, however, can't be overemphasized. The reason tight end Jason Witten and complementary receiver Patrick Crayton get so much love from Tony Romo isn't because they run interference for him on Mexican vacations. It is the threat of Owens.
Owens is one of the few receivers who is equally dangerous on downfield and underneath routes. He is fast enough to run past safeties, and uses his body like an NBA rebounding champ to make tough catches in traffic. He really changes the way a defense plays. Just having him on the field will make a big difference, no matter whether he gets to wave his touchdown towel.
If T.O. can't go, New York will blitz more and play single coverage against the remaining Cowboys' wide receivers outside. Veteran Cowboys No. 2 quarterback Brad Johnson, who has had success against the blitz over his career despite a lack of Romo-like mobility, has said Romo is exceptional in helping to extend the pass protection. With Cowboys deep threat Terry Glenn set to be back, taking risks and leaving cornerbacks exposed might prove disastrous for the Giants.
Romo can dink and dunk with the best of them. In a T.O.-less offense, feature back Marion Barber might be the key, as both a runner and a receiver, to make New York open up its defense and play more conservatively.
CB Sam Madison (abdominal strain), Giants. Madison leads the Giants in interceptions, and to shut down the Cowboys' offense, the Giants have to find a way to shut down the Romo show. Romo has eight touchdown passes against the Giants in two games this season.
The Giants have been known for their terrific pass rush this season, and their league-leading sack total is good reason. As a result, New York's defensive backs are the ones taking the heat when things don't go well. Madison's ballhawking has been one of the few bright spots in the secondary.
But it isn't that simple. Teams with an exceptional pass rush need to cover well enough for their rushers to even get to the quarterback. Otherwise he will have thrown the ball long before Michael Strahan or Osi Umenyiora unloads. They work together. Good coverage, good pass rush. No coverage, no pass rush.
Playing with a hobble, ineffective Madison (or without him altogether) will make it that much harder for the feared New York pass rush to be effective against the nimble Romo.
C Shaun O'Hara (knee), Giants. Other than a handful of games in his career, Eli Manning has taken his snaps from O'Hara. And O'Hara might not be able to play in the biggest game of Manning's short career.
Dallas has dominated the Giants twice this year. But, the Giants' offense, specifically the rushing attack, has performed well against the Cowboys, rushing for 100-plus yards in each game. Manning threw for five touchdowns against Dallas, too, this season. Those performances came with O'Hara calling the blocking schemes at the line and helping to double-team Dallas' defensive tackles.
The Giants need O'Hara to play and stabilize the pass protection for their streaky quarterback.
San Diego at Indianapolis
TE Antonio Gates (toe), Chargers. San Diego is looking to beat Indianapolis for the second time this season. The last time around, the Chargers played well, the Colts didn't and the game came down to a missed Adam Vinatieri field-goal attempt. This time around, San Diego will need to score a ton of points to win.
To do that, the Chargers need Gates. The offense revolves around running back LaDainian Tomlinson, but without the threat of Gates working downfield the Colts can play Tomlinson with an extra defender near the line. The Chargers need that defender, likely Colts safety and defensive player of the year Bob Sanders, to worry about Gates.
The Colts contained Tomlinson on Nov. 11, keeping him in check at 3.6 yards on 21 carries. Gates was held to only three catches for 26 yards. The Chargers need significantly better production Sunday.
WR Marvin Harrison (knee), Colts. Coach Tony Dungy would prefer to save Harrison for the AFC championship game. If the suddenly surging Chargers play Indianapolis tough, Dungy could be forced to use Harrison.
The Colts are desperate for Harrison, though. Quarterback Peyton Manning has learned to survive without his security blanket. Manning made one-time Harrison sidekick Reggie Wayne look like a Hall of Famer this season.
Backup tight end Ben Utecht (shoulder) and slot receiver Anthony Gonzalez (foot) are both expected to play Sunday. If the Colts have a healthy Wayne and Joseph Addai, Manning has more than enough arrows in his quiver for redemption against the team that forced him into the worst game of his life.
Seattle at Green Bay
WR Deion Branch (calf), Seahawks. It is expected to be cold Saturday, but not Ice Bowl cold. That will make it tough for Branch to get his calf loosened up. Branch is Seattle's best downfield threat, and he helps the team even when not catching passes because he stretches the defense.
Seattle doesn't need Branch's catches as much as it needs his presence to discourage the blitz. Without the threat of getting beat downfield, the Packers' already impressive defense will put even more pressure on quarterback Matt Hasselbeck.
Packers cornerbacks Charles Woodson and Al Harris can cover the other Seattle receivers man-to-man without fear, allowing coordinator Bob Sanders to blitz more frequently. Seattle will have to counter with more wide-open formations and/or maximum-protection schemes.
RG Jason Spitz (quad), Packers. Left guard Junius Coston (calf) was placed on injured reserve this week. And normally, his injury and Spitz's quad injury wouldn't be considered significant. They are not the linchpins of the line.
Packers quarterback Brett Favre has relied upon good interior pass protection this season to allow time to throw downfield. If Favre doesn't have that protection, it's a big deal because Favre is far less effective while throwing on the run.
Fortunately, Ryan Grant emerged out of nowhere (well, the Giants' practice squad) as a prime-time running threat. That takes pressure off Favre. Again, Grant's success is derived from the blocking success up front.
The Packers had some quality depth, but that is gone with Daryn Colledge needing to slide into the lineup at left guard. If Spitz can't play Saturday, then backup tackle Tony Moll will need to play.
Seattle has been blitzing like crazy of late, and has above-average linebackers doing it. If the Packers can't keep Lofa Tatupu & Co. out of the backfield, it might give Favre flashbacks of the two nightmarish outings against Chicago, or worse -- Dallas. If that happens, Favre would need to go almost exclusively to the short passing game, which seems to frustrate him.
Jacksonville at New England
DT John Henderson (hamstring), Jaguars. Henderson aggravated a hamstring injury early in last week's wild-card game and was ineffective thereafter. Coach Jack Del Rio says the injury is insignificant, but the Pittsburgh guards handled Henderson pretty easily when he did play.
If Henderson can't play, the dropoff won't be noticeable until his backup, veteran Grady Jackson, gets tired. Jackson, like Henderson, can occupy multiple blockers to keep the linebackers clean. However, Jackson lacks the stamina to play the full game.
The Jacksonville defense is one of the better units in the NFL, but it will need everybody to play -- and play well -- to slow one of the greatest offenses in league history.
Re: Division Playoff News and Notes
Divisional playoffs on horizon in NFL action
Jacksonville at New England
The Jaguars will head to Gillette Stadium to face the Patriots, who rolled through the regular season as the first team to go 16-0. Jacksonville held on for a 31-29 win at Pittsburgh in the Wild Card round. The Jaguars gained only 239 yards, but four Pittsburgh turnovers gave Jacksonville a hard-fought victory. Patriots QB Tom Brady was recently named NFL MVP after setting a record for touchdown passes, but make no mistake: the Patriots are a well-rounded team who can beat you in a number of ways. The Patriots are currently listed as 13-point home favorites in this contest, and they have beaten the Jaguars in four of their last five meetings.
San Diego at Indianapolis
The Chargers will travel to the RCA Dome to clash with the Colts, and San Diego played a fantastic defensive game in their 17-6 win over Tennessee on Sunday. The Chargers held the Titans to 248 yards and forced two turnovers. However, they lost star tight end Antonio Gates to a toe injury and he may not be available for this huge game. The Colts should have injured receiver Marvin Harrison back in the lineup, and also have safety Bob Sanders, the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year. The Colts are listed as 9-point home favorites in this battle, having won three of their last five meetings with the Chargers, but San Diego beat the Colts 23-21 at home in Week 11.
Seattle at Green Bay
The Seahawks will venture to Lambeau Field to meet the Packers, and this is a special place for Seattle coach Mike Holmgren who won the Super Bowl with Green Bay in 1996. The Seahawks returned two interceptions for touchdowns in a 35-14 home win over Washington on Saturday, making up for an average performance from quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. The Packers have surrounded quarterback Brett Favre with some young playmakers, primarily rookie back Ryan Grant, and they also have one of the league's underrated defenses. The Packers have won three of their last five meetings with the Seahawks, and they come in as 9-point home favorites.
New York Giants at Dallas
The Cowboys welcome the Giants to Texas Stadium, and New York played some of their best football of the season in a 24-14 win at Tampa Bay. Eli Manning was extremely effective, and the New York pass rush made life difficult for the Buccaneers. The Cowboys are hoping that their bye week gave receiver Terrell Owens a chance to heal his sprained ankle, but quarterback Tony Romo has plenty of other weapons to utilize. The Cowboys are 7.5-point home favorites, and they have won three of their last five against their NFC East rivals including both meetings this season.

text: #3089: Gnome-desktop 2.28 build failure ; ImportError: No module named xml2po ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: hoanglong1712 | Owner: blfs-book@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.5 Component: BOOK | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Keywords: xml2po, Gnome-desktop 2.28 ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Comment(by dj@…): IIRC, there were problems using $PYTHONPATH in this instance, hardcoded path or some such. Please have somebody verify with an /opt/gnome build before commit. I wish I had time to complete the GNOME_CONFIG changes...it simplified a lot WRT /opt/gnome builds vs. /usr builds...more specifically WRT the libexec dir, but this particular instance was accounted for via symlink as suggested above. The argument for this approach is simple, if the /opt/gnome directory is removed/moved, no problem. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/3089#comment:2> BLFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs> Beyond Linux From Scratch

The condo association has a very strict policy about renters bringing home guests. If you do not tell me about the total number of guests then the security guards will not let your (s) on the property. Furthermore they only allow a maximum of 6 different people to enter the condo for the duration of your stay. For example, if there are two people in your party then you will be allowed a maximum of 4 guests.
I would be glad to help you plan everything from airport transportation to booking tours or renting surfboards or bikes. I've lived in Jaco for over 9 years so I can also give you restaurant recommendations and fun things to do.
Shawn was a perfect host. He spent time detailing a local map and was always available to answer questions.
Just arrived home from a lovely week in Jaco. Shawn's condo was fabulous. It is in a gated community that is clean and very safe feeling. The guards were very kind and checked to make sure only guests came into the property. The condo was clean and comfortable. The air conditioner was a life saver. Very quiet at night. Bed was super comfy. Shawn was a great host stopping by to check in on me after my arrival and giving me a list of recommended restuarants and activities to do in town. Even gave us a latern for New Years! Definitely a fabulous place to stay if you are in Jaco!
Shawn is exactly what you hope for from an AirBnb experience. The property was completely clean and a terrific location in town. But beyond that he made himself available to provide terrific insight for the area making it a lot easier to find more time to simply enjoy yourself. I will be back to rent from Shawn again.
Shawn was an awesome host! He welcomed us when we got in and told us about all the best restos and spots to check out in Jaco. The apartment was in a safe area, right on the main strip and a really short walk to the beach. Thanks Shawn for all the recommendations!
My boyfriend and I stayed for 4 nights and felt incredibly welcomed by Shawn. A few minutes after our arrival he stopped in to meet us and tell us about Jaco. He gave us a map of the town with locations marked for the best places to eat, visit, and explore (most of which were on the long, helpful list that he emailed ahead of time). We managed to go to all but one restaurant and all were wonderful, we also took surfing lessons from his friend's shop! We saw Shawn around town a few times and he made sure to ask if our stay was going well and if we had any questions or if we needed any help. We felt safe, the condo and the complex were clean and centrally located - only a block and a half from the beach! Shawn was a wonderful host and we would happily stay there again if we find ourselves back in Costa Rica!
The unit was small, sweet and perfectly met our needs. The floors were beautiful! It was clean, and had plenty of hot water for showers. The best thing about staying here was the great information Shawn provided. He gave us the low-down on the best places to eat, drink and shop and the experiences not to be missed. He was so friendly and personable that he felt like a trusted friend. With his great direction, we felt like we were not only in paradise, but food heaven. Thanks Shawn!
I really recommend this place and Shawn as a host, he is there anytime you need him! It was great, very secure and the guard is there 24/7! Super close to the town, in front Of the beach, supermarket right outside and right next to the bus stop! I would definitely go back there. The condo is beautiful and fully equipped with everything you need! No complains at all :)

Achievement Advise...

I'm looking for advice when it comes to some of the harder achievements.... Block Blaster - So, how do you destroy all the blocks? They seem to recreate as they wrap around and come cycle back from left to right....am i wrong on this? High Score - What level should I expect to have to get to to attain this high score? (I know it will depend somewhat on how many blocks/bugs/etc. that I kill along the way) Obviously having trouble with the level based ones, though I'm sure practice makes perfect, but level 12???? Any advice from those who made it that far would be great... Thanks so much!! --- Currently Playing -- Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero III, Rock Band and (a lot less now) Tiger Woods 2008. THANKS A LOT HARMONIX!! | |
1. Start out by shooting straight up. Then move to the right side of the screen and shoot at about 75 degree angle. You'll get it eventually. 2. Level 3 pretty much. Not too hard, I did it on my 4th or 5th time getting that far. Avoid the Tank Level though. 3. Don't bother? | |
For Block Buster, start off by shooting a 2x3 path through the blocks before they wrap over to the right side. Obviously, it's easier to start from the far left and just follow the blocks, shooting directly upwards until you've cleared your path. Then, move over to the far left and just wait for that path to reappear above you. The second the second row of cleared blocks appears, press up as fast as you can so that you enter the cone before the cubes move once more and kill you. --- XBL Gamertag: El Skutto | |
Got the Block Blaster....finally!!! Just can't seem to pull out the score needed to get the high score, having trouble with the tanks on level 3. I'm sure that I'll get the level 4 and high score achievement on the same game at this point.... --- Currently Playing -- Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero III, Rock Band and (a lot less now) Tiger Woods 2008. THANKS A LOT HARMONIX!! | |
When playing tanks, remember that your shots can ricochet off walls. So, never face a tank directly, just keep moving around and firing shots around corners and you should have no problems. Now if only there was a way to improve the control of the lightcycles, I'd be golden. --- XBL Gamertag: El Skutto | |
For level 12, play on an emulator, use saves and memorize the patterns. That's what I did and I got it after 8 hours. Have fun. --- XBL Gamertag new and old: Rodni Demental/Retired Rodni PS3 ID: Rodni_Demental |
