After putting up with my old GeForce Ti4800 for some time now and given the advent of games like Half Life and Doom 3, I have bought myself a new Galaxy GeForce 6600 GT from Overclockers UK. The most important thing for me is the noise reduction. My current card can be heard from the next room with the doors open and is the only noisy fan in my Shuttle.
Notice Of Marriage
Tuesday my good lady and I visited the local civil registrar to declare our notice of marriage. So now we are all geared up for our big day (which should be) Saturday August 27th. Thankfully, the registrar confirmed for me that everything I have to say will be repeated after her :)
Interestingly, when you declare your intent to marry it is put up on a notice board for 15 days - this is for people to object if they have reason to.
Gossip Transports & GnomeMeeting
Gossip's HEAD branch now has the worst of Micke's and my code since we merged both our branches in on the weekend :)
The transports seem to be shaping up nicely though, hopefully now that it is on HEAD it will get tested more and we can determin problems early ready for 0.9.
Julien PUYDT has also spent a lot of time working on patches to get GnomeMeeting operational via Gossip. Bad timing with the recent merge and everything, but it should get into Gossip sooner or later.

James Bond to Open London 2012 Olympics
On Her Majesty's Orders
Daniel Craig has shot a short film in character as James Bond which will be screened on the BBC as part of the Olympics opening ceremony.
The London 2012 artistic director Danny Boyle and the 007 star were given access to film at Buckingham Palace.
The short is called The Arrival, and features 007 traveling to Buckingham Palace to be informed that his latest mission is to launch the 2012 games. He is then taken by helicopter to the Olympic stadium in Stratford, east London, where he parachutes into the arena.
Boyle and Craig were reportedly given unprecedented access to the palace and its private rooms last week after the Queen personally sanctioned the idea.

Family: Anguillidae, Freshwater Eels view all from this family
Description The American eel, Anguilla rostrata, is a catadromous fish found on the eastern coast of North America. It has a snake-like body with a small sharp pointed head. It is brown on top and a tan-yellow color on the bottom. It has sharp pointed teeth but no pelvic fins. It is very similar to the European eel, but the two species differ in number of chromosomes and vertebrae.
Juvenile eels.
The eel lives in fresh water and only leaves this habitat to enter the Atlantic ocean for spawning. It takes 9 to 10 weeks for the eggs to hatch. After hatching, young eels move toward North America and enter freshwater systems to mature. The female can lay up to 4 million buoyant eggs a year, but dies after egg-laying.
The eel is found around the Atlantic coast including Chesapeake Bay and the Hudson River. It prefers to hunt at night, and during the day it hides in mud, sand or gravel very close to shore, roughly 5 to 6 feet under.
American eels are economically very important to the East Coast and rivers where they travel. They are caught by fishermen and sold, eaten, or kept as pets. Eels help the Atlantic coast ecosystem by eating dead fish, invertebrates, carrion, insects, and if hungry enough, they will cannibalize each other.
Although many anglers are put off by the snake-like appearance of these catadromous fish, eels are in fact fit for human consumption. They are usually caught by anglers fishing for something else. The world record weight for the American eel is 9.25 pounds.
Dimensions Up to 4'11" (1.5 m).
Habitat Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes, Lakes & ponds, Ocean or bay shallows, Rivers & streams.
Range Plains, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Southwest, Florida, Texas, Eastern Canada.

Captain's ReportTested By Chris KellyThe 24SX is a powerful example of how Cobalt combines engineering excellence with peak performance and standard amenities. The 24SX uses 20 degrees of deadrise and a bow design that delivers a smooth ride that challenges everyone in its class.Starting Up FrontThe bow platform has a unique swim ladder anchor locker. Stainless grab rails and cup holders along with a speaker are on each side of the bow. The starboard walkthrough is unique to this kind of boat. Along with a flip over windshield the bi-fold bottom panel keeps cool air out of the cockpit. The nearly flat windshield increases cockpit space.The full changing room under the helm is unprecedented, has a bench and an easy to deploy optional porta-potty. The CD changer is located on the starboard wall with the bench.At the ControlsThe unique setup has the helm in the center. Accents are real wood, just like in a luxury car. The flip lip bolster is great for stand up driving and gives you added comfort underway.Plenty of SeatingStern seating wraps from starboard to the port side walkthrough. The fire extinguisher, battery switches and main circuit breakers are located here, as well as an inflator for your water toys. The port side bench converts the companion seat into another large lounger with insulated storage underneath. The stereo is housed in the glove box and you have a removable trash bin back here and 7 stainless steel cup holders. Transom FeaturesThere are two steps which lead to and from the swim platform and the cockpit. The heavy duty ski tow post locks into position for better ski action. The engine hatch doubles as the sun pad. The headrest can be used in two positions for added comfort. Twin gas shocks make lifting the hatch easy and gaskets and rubber bumpers prevent fiberglass to fiberglass noisesThe EngineThis 496 V-8 engine delivers 425 hp. Everything is easy to reach with one hand. The oil filter is on top and the closed cooling is standard. The oil dip stick has an easy oil drain system connection, and the water drain system has an air-actuated single point drains system with had air pump included. A single serpentine belt drives all the parts. The engine control module uses a Motorola microprocessor and optimizes the fuel mixture, knock control and ignition timing independently for each cylinder resulting in improved, precise performance.Surrounding the swim platform is a heavy stainless steel rail to protect from dock strikes. The ladder back here is a dive type with a release lever in the platform. SpecsThe 24SX is 23'9" long and 8'6" in the beam. Her draft is 18 ¼" with the drive up and 37" with it down. Fuel capacity is 50 gallons and she can carry 10 gallons of fresh water.PerformanceThe 24 SX was a fun boat to drive. We found she cruised most economically at 2500 rpm running 25.7mph. At cruise you can expect to burn 8 gallons per hour and have a range of 145 miles on a tank of fuel. At wide open throttle she delivered a thrilling 56.4 mph turning 5000rpm.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Cobalt 24 SX (Not a Current Model) is 56.4 mph (90.8 kph), burning 32.1 gallons per hour (gph) or 121.5 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Cobalt 24 SX (Not a Current Model) is 25.7 mph (41.4 kph), and the boat gets 3.22 miles per gallon (mpg) or 1.37 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 145 miles (233.35 kilometers).

Architects and architecture students are inundated today with news about smart materials, but they rarely have the opportunity to work directly with them. Creative experimentation with smart materials, however, is a crucial part of testing their benefits and limitations in architectural applications.
In a design workshop I co-taught recently at the University of Minnesota School of Architecture, students had the chance to work directly with smart materials in the creation of responsive design installations. In the class, "Stimulus Package," I co-taught with Martina Decker and Peter Yeadon, AIA, of the New York–based office Decker Yeadon.
As we explained in the class description: "We are at the beginning of a new epoch for which there are few precedents for architects, however it is not unfamiliar territory. The age of electricity, the machine age, the space age, and the information age all produced extraordinary works by artists and designers that lent vision to the problems and promises of new technologies. Encouraged by this tradition of leadership, the intent of this workshop is to conceive how architecture might be transformed by advanced materials that are just emerging in the field."
In the workshop, student teams created four installations. While we intentionally left out any specification of a final application in the studio brief, students were encouraged to strike a balance between rigor and play by demonstrating a precise awareness of the material capabilities and limitations while pursuing open-ended forms of experimentation.
One student team created a responsive wall for light graffiti. The photoluminescent paint-clad wall enabled temporary mark-making with the use of a mobile phone light, allowing the casual cellphone-wielding observer to create luminous messages that lasted for several minutes.
Another team designed a kind of artificial insect made of shape memory alloy clad in gossamer sheets of photoluminescent fabric. When electricity was introduced, the autonomic arthropod slowly raised its wings, gradually lowering them again once the current was removed.
The third team's project consisted of an interactive textile surface. Students coated a vertically hung canvas panel in thermochromic ink, making it a deep black color. They then applied a water-repellent coating to protect the ink. Exhibition visitors could use heated water bottles and spray guns to make the ink disappear and allow light to penetrate the translucent canvas. The fabric would become temporarily luminous while it was wet, producing an effect like Japanese calligraphy in reverse—bright strokes of white marking an otherwise impenetrably dark surface.
The fourth project was an elaborate mechanism intended to emulate the movement of wind-blown prairie grass. Students anchored thin rods of various materials to a shape memory alloy base. Once current was introduced, the shortening muscle wire tugged at the rod bases, causing the synthetic grass to sway as if by an invisible wind.
Although brief, the one-week catalyst workshop reinforced the importance of student experimentation with emerging materials. Functional applicability is always a critical consideration in architectural studio; Stimulus Package, however, proved that students should occasionally be given a chance to explore material possibilities without a rigidly defined end use in mind.

The possibility of ozone pollution occurring in Routt County came up a year ago in the context of public hearings for new oil well permits. Ozone attributed to energy exploration, among other sources, has become enough of a problem on the Front Range that a series of meetings has been launched to address oil and gas regulations.
Stories this photo appears in:
Routt County seeks cost share with city of Steamboat Springs on ozone monitoring
Shell Oil has installed an ozone monitoring device at a well near Hayden, and the Desert Research Institute lab on Storm Peak is contemplating monitoring ozone levels, as well.

In a medium saucepan, mix 1 cup of the cream with the milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Warm the cream mixture over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and tiny bubbles begin to form around the edge of the pan, 3 to 4 minutes.
Stir in the lemon zest and split vanilla bean and its seeds. Cover, remove from the heat, and let sit for 1 hour. Taste and let sit longer if you want a stronger flavor.
Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with several inches of ice water. Set a smaller metal bowl (one that holds at least 1-1/2 quarts) in the ice water. Pour the remaining cup of cream into the inner bowl (this helps the custard cool quicker when you pour it in later). Set a fine strainer on top. Whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl.
Rewarm the cream mixture over medium-high heat until tiny bubbles begin to form around the edge of the pan, 1 to 2 minutes. In a steady stream, pour half of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom with a heatproof rubber spatula until the custard thickens slightly (it should be thick enough to coat the spatula and hold a line drawn through it with a finger), 4 to 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should read 175 degrees to 180 degrees F at this point. Don't let the sauce overheat or boil, or it will curdle. Immediately strain the custard into the cold cream in the ice bath. Press firmly on the lemon zest and split vanilla bean and its seeds in the strainer with the spatula to extract as much flavor as possible.
Cool the custard to below 70 degrees F by stirring it over the ice bath. Stir the lemon juice and raspberry puree into the cooled custard.
Refrigerate the custard until completely chilled, at least 4 hours. Then freeze the custard in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Fold the marshmallow Fluff into the just-churned ice cream, transfer to an air-tight container, and freeze for at least 4 hours or up to 2 weeks.

From Wharton to Carnegie Mellon, B-Schools Set Up Shop in San Francisco
More Business Schools, Such as Wharton and Carnegie Mellon's Tepper, Stake Claims in the San Francisco Bay Area
Business schools warn students against entering saturated markets. But they may not be following their own advice—at least not in the San Francisco Bay area, where a number of schools from around the country have recently opened or expanded satellite programs.
Need proof? Here's a quick tour: From the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School campus near the foot of the Bay Bridge, head five blocks northwest, and Babson College's West Coast outpost will be straight ahead. Walk about another mile north to hit Hult International Business School. Hop in a car, and Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business is an hour's drive south.
Recognizing that an increasing number of graduates and prospective students are gravitating to the region for school and work, business schools are going where the action is. Despite established programs nearby—such as Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Haas School of Business at University of California, Berkeley—newcomers see plenty of demand for technology-focused management instruction and are targeting future tech titans and executives seeking a management boost.
What's more, as business schools scramble to prove their mettle as innovation incubators, strong ties to Silicon Valley don't hurt.
"People think differently, they act on their ideas, they collaborate well with other people, people are willing to take a little bit of risk to get their ideas to fruition, and that's an important environment to work in," says Bernadette Birt, chief operating officer of Wharton San Francisco.
The newest Bay Area import, Pittsburgh-based Tepper, will begin classes in August for its FlexMBA part-time program, which combines online instruction and in-person sessions. It will operate a portion of the program out of Carnegie Mellon's decade-old campus at Moffett Field, a former U.S. Navy air station, where the school offers a handful of graduate engineering programs.
Though Moffett Field is about 10 miles from the business schools at Stanford and Santa Clara University, Mike Trick, senior associate dean of education at Tepper, says he's not overly concerned about the competition.
"The M.B.A. market is pretty busy," he says. "No matter where you go, it's going to be an active area."
Tepper plans to take advantage of its parent university's strong technical reputation and of the existing computer science and engineering offerings to attract students interested in hardware, software and e-commerce, among other segments of the market. The school already brings M.B.A. students West from Pittsburgh for weeklong job-prospecting trips, and Mr. Trick says the school is considering a two-month stint for students focused on entrepreneurship.
Starting a San Francisco campus can be costly, with space rental costs alone running well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Schools generally rotate professors from their main campuses for brief teaching stints.
Local schools say they aren't yet worried about their new neighbors.
"It's going to take a little more than a moving van to replace Santa Clara," says Drew Starbird, dean of Santa Clara's Leavey School of Business. With nearly 30,000 university alums in the Bay area, 300 alums each at Hewlett-Packard Co. and Oracle Corp. and another thousand at Cisco Systems Inc., "we're fully integrated into the business community in a way that the newcomers can't match."
Not that schools aren't trying.
Hult, which opened its San Francisco campus—its fifth globally—in 2010, is vying to secure jobs for its students, says Lisa Tenorio, executive director of the San Francisco campus.
More Business School Coverage
The school, with more than 580 students across a slate of graduate programs, said it has forged relationships with International Business Machines Corp. , Autodesk Inc. and other area employers, leading to a steady stream of internships.
Meanwhile Babson College, whose main campus is based just outside of Boston, has plenty of experience with nearby competition. That school is flanked by Harvard Business School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Sloan School of Management and Boston College's Carroll School of Management, among a half-dozen others. There, Babson has branded itself as a launch pad for successful entrepreneurs, such as Home Depot Inc. co-founder Arthur M. Blank.
Babson started offering its accelerated Fast Track M.B.A. in San Francisco in 2010, and now enrolls about one-third of the program's 400 students at that campus. An undergraduate course is also in development, set to begin in May, and aims to place students in consulting projects with area companies.
To make its name out West, Babson has placed advertising banners in the airport and on street lamps across the city. The school has also attached its name to local traditions, such as the Corporate Challenge arm of the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon.
Dennis Hanno, dean of Babson's F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business, says his program's biggest competitor is Wharton, which has offered a San Francisco-based executive M.B.A. for more than a decade. Wharton's latest executive class there enrolled 102 students, about double the size of the first cohort.
James Kilpatrick, president of a local commercial real-estate firm, was so keen to attend Wharton's executive program that three years ago the 36-year-old moved to downtown San Francisco from the East Bay to be closer to campus and its extracurricular activities. He didn't get in initially, but was accepted on his second try and started classes in May.
The Berkeley graduate considered Haas, as well as Babson, but preferred Wharton both for its reputation and for the fact that top faculty were eager to teach at the West Coast campus.
Wharton, meanwhile, is expanding its San Francisco footprint. This fall, it piloted a program that brought 54 second-year M.B.A. students to the campus for a semester, and plans to bring it back next year.
Students will have returned to Philadelphia by the time startups ramp up their recruiting efforts closer to graduation. But second-year student Jennifer Royer, 27, says that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Ms. Royer, who plans to head back to the West Coast after graduation, says the city will be "saturated" with recent graduates in the spring, and hopes connections made in the fall will give her an edge over competitors.

VIDEO: The Self-Righteous Brothers, "Sidecar Jesus"
Listening to their homonymous CD (on their own Black & Greene label), one hears a bunch of solid, rough-edged pop songs that go terribly wrong — in ways that usually work. Tempos get changed, instruments get added, and songwriting logic gets messed with. A prime example would be "Taint Misbehavin,' " which starts as the catchiest and most straightforward track on the disc (it's perversely stuck at track 10). Having nothing to do with the similarly titled Fats Waller song, it could pass for a lost Elliott Smith, with its piano lead and yearning feel, though the banjo and sax solos hint at something more eclectic. Sure enough, by song's end they add a blurping analog synth and a chorus of whistles, turning their own song inside-out. Elsewhere they put ska horns on a non-ska song ("Electric Boogaloo"), and tack a two-minute prog intro on an otherwise straight-ahead rocker ("When I Want To"). At such moments it seems Boston finally has its own answer to the great '60s oddball group, the Bonzo Dog Band.
Those bits of arrangement are typical of how the two main songwriters, Jake Hall (drums/vocals) and Max Koepke (guitars/vocals), work: the former writes pop songs, the latter has the more avant ideas, and the two mess with each other's songs. "It's like Frank Zappa meeting the Beatles," Koepke offers when we get together at the Druid in Inman Square. "I was thinking that we were more like John Mayer meets Blink-182," shoots the more wise-assed Hall from across the table. "Really, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't fascinated by music like that. I have to turn James Blunt up every time he's on the radio. I am entranced by its shittiness."
That's not to say that the band is on a crusade against lame radio pop; rather, they're just some friends doing what comes naturally. Although the basic group is a trio (with multi-instrumentalist Justin McLean), there are 10 players on the disc, including producer and Apollo Sunshine member Jesse Gallagher ("I love that band because they have remarkable talent and we don't," Koepke says). The CD version of "Taint Misbehavin' " is in fact a composite of two versions: the first was deemed too straight-ahead and the second was too out-there, so they did a "Strawberry Fields Forever" and stuck them both together. "Floyd," the CD opener, is a left-field tribute, a three-piece instrumental that doesn't sound anything like Pink Floyd — though Hall points out that the chords are in fact identical to their "Have a Cigar." "It doesn't really sound like them," he admits. "It does sync up with The Wizard of Oz, though."

text: My girlfriend were out antique shopping in a little town near where I live this weekend and I happened upon a vintage Star Wars Action Display Stand from 78. This stand also included all of the original 12 back figures. Here is my quandry, while all of the figures appeared to be in great condition, (i.e. no yellowing), none of them had accessories beyond the capes. (i.e. no lightsabers, guns, etc...) How much would this collection be worth? I am only asking in order to guage what type of opening offer I could make. (IMO that asking price is way too much.) Any Help with this situation would be greatly appreciated.:)

Free software to import Google contacts and calendars in Emacs.
Emaigos is a free multi-platform software useful to import Google contacts and calendars in Emacs. Contacts are stored in a Big Brother Database (BBDB) file, which makes them usable with many Emacs email packages, like Gnus. Google calendars are stored as a single Org mode file, so that the events may be viewed as a structured document and possibly shown within an Agenda view. So with Emaigos it's possible to use Google as contacts and calendars manager, while having at the same time all data available within Emacs. The original Google contacts and calendars are not modified in any way by Emaigos. The name "Emaigos" is an acronym for "EMAcs Importer for GOogle Stuff".

Just traveling
I'm not doing much today except packing up and spending long hours flying to Canada.. with some luck I might catch up on some strace work during the flight, but I'm not betting on that. Those seats are just too cramped to be able to use a laptop. Perhaps catching up on sleep is a better plan, I could sure use it.
Okay, the rest is actually yesterdays entry but I didn't submit it then..
Not my day..
This day just started out wrong.. it started by discovering that the people from the Linux Expo in Montreal apparently managed to mess up my hotel reservation and only booked me for half the week. At least that's what it says on the flight plan I received yesterday.. I fired an email off to them so lets hope it gets sorted out quickly. Then someone told me about the OpenNMS project which seems to be doing the exact same thing as the Little Brother project I have been working on for Cistron. Their project looks interesting, but there doesn't seem to be any code or detailed info beyond some marketing-speak. I think I'll just pretend I don't know about them and finish Little Brother :). I should probably put the code for that online somewhere before someone will accuse me of doing the same thing..
Debian on the move
Interesting stuff is happening on the Debian-frontend it seems. IBM and Alcove released a press release which mentioned that Debian is now the market leader with 27%. It doesn't list which market or where that figure comes from though, and the only similar number I can find is the result from a slashdot poll. Weird things are happening when the blue giant needs to rely on the reliable results of a slashdot poll..
I'm really happy with the current porting efforts as well, it seems that our mips port is progressing nicely (thanks to Florian Lohoff and Guido Guenther), so hopefully I'll get my new indy to do something useful soon. I also heard that the PuffinGroup (not part of LinuxCare decided to make Debian their official PARISC port. Expect some cool things coming from there! And finally tausq mentioned he build dpkg for ia64. Now if I could only get my hands on an ia64 to actually see that..

SSD Testing Methodology
EDITORS NOTE: Please read Solid State Drive (SSD) Benchmark Performance Testing to understand how the benchmarks used in this article should be interpreted.
Solid State Drives have traveled a long winding course to finally get where they are today. Up to this point in technology, there have been several key differences separating Solid State Drives from magnetic rotational Hard Disk Drives. While the DRAM-based buffer size on desktop HDD's has recently reached 32 MB and is ever-increasing, there is still a hefty delay in the initial response time. This is one key area in which flash-based Solid State Drives continually dominates because they lack moving parts to "get up to speed".
However the benefits inherent to SSD's have traditionally fallen off once the throughput begins, even though data reads or writes are executed at a high constant rate whereas the HDD tapers off in performance. This makes the average transaction speed of a SSD comparable to the data burst rate mentioned in HDD tests, albeit usually lower than the HDD's speed.
Test System
Disk Hardware
Benchmark Reviews is aware that all Intel ICH9/9R and ICH10/10R chipsets featured on 3- and 4- series motherboards exhibit a bandwidth limit defect for most SSDs of approximately 80MBps when not operating in ACHI mode (BIOS configuration). Since the Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6 motherboard we used for testing also comes equipped with a JMicron JMB363 SATA controller for two additional SATA-II ports, all tests were conducted using this drive controller.
Test Tools
Comparing a Solid State Disk to a standard Hard Disk Drives is always relative; even if you're comparing the fastest rotational spindle speeds. One is going to be many times faster in response (SSD's), while the other is usually going to have higher throughput bandwidth (HDD's). Additionally, there are certain factors which can effect the results of a test which we do our best to avoid.
Nevertheless there will be some tests which will not be completely representative of the individual product tested, but a combination of the product and supporting system hardware. An excellent example of such a test is the write-to bandwidth benchmarks, which rely on other system components to force data onto the drive along with the bus bandwidth to support it. This dependency on system hardware is why you will see Benchmark Reviews place an emphasis on read bandwidth over write tests.
On ##patriotmemory.com/support/driversp.jsp i cant find this model.
Disk sometime freeze system on startup with Gigabyte T1125N notebook. When i try start system few times again, and system at last start begin, disk works propertly. Problem its only with starting system.
With another SSD disk OCZ agility3, or standard disk, notebook works propeltly. Notebook have instaled latest firmware from gigabyte.
Thanks for answer

Barry Alvarez hasn't skipped a beat
LOS ANGELES - Although Barry Alvarez is seven years removed from coaching, it appears he hasn't skipped a beat. Despite an interim stint, the Rose Bowl Hall of Famer says the coaching juices are flowing.
"Just give me a whistle," Alvarez said. "That's all I need is a whistle and a bunch of guys to coach, and I feel very comfortable with that. And it's been a fun for me. This has been like a gift to be able to do this and on this stage is truly special."
With a win Tuesday, Alvarez would validate all the work he and his players put in. That would be a huge reward for a team that has dealt with a lot of adversity.
"How to deal with situations and make something positive come out of it, especially after two tough losses. They could have won either game the last two years. They had opportunities to win, but couldn't close the deal. So I think it would be a tremendous lesson for them."
After the Rose Bowl, the Wisconsin program goes into the hands of incoming head coach Gary Andersen. Alvarez says he may have Andersen be on the team sideline for the game. He says the free publicity that goes with it is invaluable in recruiting and selling the program.17962292

Caledonia's Westland helps Warriors, Warriors help Westland
CALEDONIA, Minn. - An assistant coach for more than 17 years, Jimmy Westland is finally getting his shot. It's his first season as head coach of the Caledonia girls basketball team.
"The one thing that's different is all the other stuff you have to do outside of coaching. Fundraising, the kind of stuff behind the scenes that people don't see," Westland said.
After a long winning streak, the Warriors are on a bit of a cold streak. Caledonia started the season 11-0, but went just 3-9 in January.
Adversity, however, is nothing new for Westland.18395228
In 1996, he was diagnosed with Stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He was given a 30 percent chance of survival and began treatment three days later.
"It was really aggressive, so the doctor said we need to be aggressive back. That's how you treat an aggressive cancer."
After undergoing chemotherapy, the cancer grew back a year later. Westland had a bone marrow transplant.
"They came as close to killing me as they could without actually killing me," he said. "To me at least, it was a lot easier being the person that had it than if it was my wife or my family member. I knew I was going to be OK, but I was worried about them."
This time, Westland made an amazing recovery. Just 14 months later, he ran the Columbus Ohio marathon.
"It was great, especially when we got to the finish line. It was a great feeling to just, it was like the signature moment of, we beat this."
Healthy now for the last 15 and a half years, Westland tries to pass the lessons he's learned on to his team.
"I'm able to tell the girls that basketball is like a marathon. You're going to go through hard times and easy times, and you just gotta keep fighting no matter what."
And as much as he's helped his team through a difficult month, that's nothing compared to how much his teams have helped him over the years.
"Just being able to work with people and coaching are why I'm alive I think."

I heard on the Mark Levin show that Pres. Osoma wants to make private insurance companies pay for wounded soldiers health care surgery/rehab.
I didn't catch all of the facts but it almost made me sick. If a Republican Pres did this it would be all over the news. WHY can't the press give a unbiased report and bring a little of his evil deeds to the eyes and ears of his brainwashed cult?
It might make some of our fellow Americans open their eyes.

Esai Morales, Father Matheew Munoz, George P. Bush, Hispanic 100, Hispanic 100's Lifetime Achievement Award Gala, Hispanic 100's Mentor Program, Larry Braggs, Mario Rodriguez, Michelle Rose, Robbie Munoz, Rosario Marin, Sol de Mexico
"I am the most graciously treated Texan to ever set foot in the state of California," George P. Bush said at Hispanic 100's third annual Lifetime Achievement Award Gala at the Balboa Bay Club & Resort. The 36-year-old lawyer, son of former Florida governor Jeb Bush, grandson of former President George H.W. Bush and nephew of former President George W. Bush, was the gala's keynote speaker.
The handsome businessman wasn't the only heartthrob at the gala. Being honored with Hispanic 100's Lifetime Achievement Award was award-winning actor Esai Morales, known for his three-decade career on stage, in film and television (who could forget the angry brother he portrayed in the famous biopic La Bamba?). A self-proclaimed "actorvist," Morales gives freely of his time to many charity organizations and environmental causes and was accompanied by his partner Elvimar Silva and their adorable two-year-old daughter Mariela.
The "Faith in the Future"-themed affair was attended by 320 guests and netted $75,000 for Hispanic 100's Mentor Program, which gives goal-driven Hispanic youth the opportunity to be paired with highly successful Hispanic business leaders to prepare them to become future business and civic leaders. The program's first graduate and current law student, 25-year-old Robbie Munoz, spoke glowingly about the success of the program and the positive impact it has had on his life.
Others at the podium included board members Rosario Marin, former U.S. Treasurer and mistress of ceremonies, gala chair Don Garcia, decor chair Teresa Hernandez, and Hispanic 100 Chairman Mario Rodriguez, as well as Father Matthew Munoz, grandson of John Wayne, who gave the invocation. Board member Julio Gudino presented Morales with his award, Josh Valdez introduced Bush, affectionately known as "P," and Mentor Program Chair Roman Ramoz and board member Al Fink spoke passionately about the program. Michelle Rose, Hispanic 100's Executive Director, was recognized for her efforts in the gala's success.
The live auction featured some lively bidding for a dinner for 20 and a one-hour Sol de Mexico mariachi performance. It sold twice to Alfonso Cordero and Ron Hudson, who each paid $10,000 for the item. Sol de Mexico founder and performer Jose Hernandez was delighted! It was only left to Larry Braggs, lead singer of Tower of Power, to draw guests to the dance floor, while he rocked the house with such standards as "Stand By Me," "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" and "I'll Take You There." The gala gift, a miniature bottle of Camarena Tequila with an engraved Hispanic 100 shot glass, was the frosting on the cake!

Flowers for Vets Program Highly Successful
Original post made by Karen Froniewski, Midtown, on Dec 30, 2012
Many thanks to our Vet friends who helped make the second annual Flowers for Vets program on December 16 amazingly successful. Thanks to Palo Alto online for helping to promote this event.The event was held at Nature's Alley florist in Midtown. Over $400 was collected to help cover the $3 cost for each arrangement. Over 30 volunteers made and delivered 120 flower arrangements, many hand created cards and holiday bags filled with assorted biscotti donated by La Biscotteria in Redwood City. Both the Palo Alto and Menlo Park VA hospitals were visited. Stop by Nature's Alley anytime after January 7th to see pictures taken during the event.

Attended a wedding in LA. My wife's cousin, who was the flower girl in our wedding, got married. Strange vows exchanged (how in the world letting your husband view sports with all his frat brothers as a priority in your marriage got in there is beyond me); the reception was tedious and weird. The MC and DJ left a lot to be desired :incessantnoiseinsteadofmusic:.
Got home around 1:30AM (it's normally about a 2 hr. drive south from here). No traffic from Woodland Hills to home! :warpfactorfivemistersulu:

Why it Works: The Right Oil for Frying
There has been much talk lately about health and flavor differences among oils, but oils also differ in frying behavior. As oil is exposed to the high heat of frying, it begins to break down. If heated to too high of a temperature, oil quickly begins to smoke and break down; this temperature is called its "smoke point." Every time oil is heated, its smoke point is lowered. For example, a fresh pan of peanut oil may begin to smoke at 450°F, but after the oil is used two or three times, it may smoke at 375°F. Oil at its smoke point can be dangerous because it can catch fire. It may also give off-flavors to foods. Keep it safe by only using an oil a few times to deep fry. Also choose oils that have a high smoke point when fresh. The best oils for deep-frying are soybean (vegetable), corn, sunflower, peanut and canola.

I've heard some Wal-Marts released their ROTF figures. Anyone found any?
Maybe I read that someone here had?
And for the other SDCC TF exclusive, metallic repaint Optimus Prime Mighty Muggs!
Okay, how about this one.. they are releasing the complete G1 series in a matrix themed box.. while I don't think its exclusive to comic-con it will be sold there none the less.
It's going to be sold online after that, and I don't know if the packaging is exclusive or not.
I keep hearing good things about Inferno, but I don't feel bad that I passed, it looked like an oversized deluxe to me.
A buddy is telling me that non-clearance TF deluxes are now $15 at Target, anybody else finding this?
I kept a lookout for you yesterday. No sign of the increase here. However, one Target has the GIJoe comic packs (all the original Hawk/Scarlett set no one wants) for $9.89, and one just five miles away has them for $12.89, so it looks like the latest round of increases is pretty inconsistent.
Burbank Target had 2 tags for Animated Deluxes, one was $11.99 and the other was $14.19. The $12 one had the gray stickers on it, so that price is on its way out. They were the same DCPI.
Dang $15 bucks? I'm glad I'm pretty much done for awhile. And any future releases will need to be stellar to fork out that much.
Speaking of rediculous prices, TRU is now selling some Binaltech, Encore reissues and Masterpeice figures at some interesting prices. Scroll allllll the way down.

Detail from the cover of 'The Irish Impressionists: Irish artists in France and Belgium 1850-1914' by Julian Campbell, National Gallery of Ireland, 1984. CSIA 708.15DUB/NGI
An important monograph on Leech held in the library of the National Gallery of Ireland is 'William John Leech: an Irish painter abroad' by Denise Ferran (1996), which is the primary biography of the artist and his career, with a detailed discussion of 'A Convent Garden, Brittany'. Ferran has also written several important articles, for example 'W. J. Leech's Brittany' (Irish Arts Review Yearbook, 1993).
The artist also features prominently in the National Gallery of Ireland's exhibition catalogue 'The Irish Impressionists: Irish artists in France and Belgium, 1850-1914' by Julian Campbell (1984), providing an extensive discussion on the artist and his circle of fellow Irish impressionist painters working in France in the 1900s, along with a useful catalogue entry on 'A Convent Garden, Brittany'. An essay on this painting is also authored by Campbell in the National Gallery of Ireland series of essays, 'Art is my life: a tribute to James White' (1991).
Archival material and an artist folder are also available. The artist folder holds a variety of ephemera relating to William Leech's artwork and career.

It was in the Dhuwa moiety lands of Mulanga on the east bank of the Glyde River that the Ancestor Gurrmirringu, known as the Great Hunter, lived. He wandered these lands harvesting fruit, seeds, berries, goanna, kangaroo, birds and fish.
Gurrmirringu's life as a hunter was a favourite subject for Malangi in bark paintings and sculpture. A rare early depiction shows Gurrmirringuwith a wallaby resting on his shoulders, while both paintings and sculptures depict the hunter with his wife hunting, with dilly bags used for carrying food suspended from the head or shoulders.

Yesterday, Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner hurtled from over 120,000 feet up in space, breaking the sound barrier and landing into our hearts. Because I was at New York Comic-Con all weekend, I'm only just watching the video, but no lie, I couldn't breathe during it. And I wasn't the one suspended above Earth's stratosphere in a tiny capsule wearing only an astronaut's suit and some parachutes! Seriously, watch the video.
It's probably best that I only caught up with this today, because that gave the internet enough time to come up with memes. Well, some of these are memes in the traditional sense, utilizing Conspiracy Keanu, Awkward '60s Spider-Man, and other jokes. Others are technically image macros, a photo with white text above and below. All of them are hilarious, and I think you'll enjoy them.
In approximate order of Felix's jump and everyone's reactions to it, I present the best memes.

Filter Options
Does anyone have any experience or recommendations with these filters? I'm trying to decide between:
1. Marineland Magnum 350 Pro
2. Aquatop CF500UV
3. Marineland Emperor 400
4. 5-stage Fish Cannister
They would all make fine paperweights Just kidding.
But seriously, If you are going to be using them on a tank we would need some details about the size of it & the stock you intend to keep before we could have an opinion on their suitability to the task.
I have an Emperor 400 on a 29G tank and it does ok and I used to run another one in combination with a canister as filtration on a 55G, I modded both of them so they no longer use the cartridges. I have not used any of the others.
Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

Haha sorry I meant to include it but I got carried away.. 80 gallon tank, probably 2 plants (java fern and amazon sword) and approx 6 fish (cichlids and angels). Maybe a turtle, but I'm still debating if its worth having the turtle potentially ruin everything haha
A. Fish make for expensive turtle food and turtles eat fish... Eventually.
B. Turtles are filthy filthy when it comes to destroying water quality and this will be very very hard on your fish.. This will only turn them into easier to catch turtle food.
Your first decision is; Is this a turtle tank or a fish tank. Either way you will need more than a single one of these particular filters IMO.
Filters are generally good for approximately half the tank size the manufacturers rate them for btw. Make of that what you will but that is real world environment exp VS packaging hype [& laboratory conditions] for you.
When you say 'cichlids' to go with angels [Angels are cichlids too btw ] I am assuming you mean sizeable new world cichlids since you didn't mention dwarfs and Africans do not have compatible water parameters to go with angels.
The generic canisters above are of indeterminate quality IMO so personally I would not be considering them but that risk is yours to take.
Hopefully someone will chime in with experience with those other brands.
Just as an observation I will mention that if the budget is an issue, Filtration is NOT the place to be attempting to save some bucks [Unless you are into DIY].
Whichever way you go, Good luck

I use an Aquatop 500 UV; good price but will it last? So far, been running about six months fine. A turtle can not be put in with tropical fish. Turtles need to get out of the water and are better for shallow containers with places for them to get out of the water. Also, canister filters work best with larger tanks like the 80 gal.
I have two canisters (Cascade 1000's) that are sitting so I don't care if the Aquatop failes; one thing, the Aquatop 500 holds a lot of bio-material.

A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

I agree with the filtration aspect, I wanna overdue the filtration rather than undercut it (especially if I do decide to make it a turtle tank). As of now, it is a fish tank with live plants. I know angels are cichlids (I knew that was coming :/) but I haven't done enough research on the specific type of cichlids yet to make a decision.
As far as the filtration, would the aquatop (#2) suffice? I have heard the 2x tank size advice and that ones rated up to 175, along with #4 (150 gal). Do you have any recommendations outside of those options?

The only way I see a turtle ever working in the tank is under a few conditions:
1. The fish go in first and establish their territory
2. Plenty of hiding spots for the fish to utilize
3. More than adequate filtration
4. A basking platform or dock and basking lamp (ex: http://www.amazon.com/Decorative-Tur...ds=turtle+dock)
5. The turtle species is small and stays extremely small
So translation... probably gonna stay a fish tank :D
How expensive has the maintenance been for the Aquatop? I know you can rinse the biomaterial instead of replacing it, but have you had it long enough to see how it compares to other canisters in that aspect?
Personally, I wouldn't buy any of those filters. I bought two Eheims second hand and have absolutely no regrets about going with a reputable brand name even if they were used. Parts can be a little pricey, but I haven't had anything really wrong with them and I bought them for the same price as the Aquatop.
If I had to pick, I'd probably get the Aquatop, but theres no information on the size of the filter (inner volume). Without that, its hard to say if 525gph (realistically half of that) is plenty of filtration for your tank as both flow rate and the volume of the filtration media need to be taken into account. 1000gph of flow over an 1/10th of a gallon of media is far worse than 200gph flow over 2 gallons of media. Really depends IMO.

Do you guys think theres a big difference between a name brand like aquatop and something thats similar but a knock-off? Theoretically, isn't most of the filtering done by the bio-material so theyd be the same as long as the pump works as stated and doesnt break?
The issue isn't the operation of the filter itself... its really how accurate the information provided is as well as the support available if anything goes wrong. You can go out and find parts for bigger brands very easily and yes, they are expensive but they are cheaper than completely replacing a knock-off brand filter completely. I always like to think that you pay a premium for quality because it is in fact cheaper in the long run.

Week 14 is a huge week in fantasy football with the playoffs beginning in many leagues. Our fantasy guru, James Morris, provides answers to many questions that fantasy football owners are debating this week:
Question- Do you think Rob Gronkowski will be available for week 15 or 16? If so, does he pick up where left off or is he just an average TE?
James Morris: The only people who truly know about Gronk's injury status are God and Bill Belichick. I hear he is pushing to come back as early as this week, but we won't know anything for sure until closer to Friday. When he does get back, I think he immediately becomes one of Tom Brady's favorite targets once again as Aaron Hernandez has been inconsistent the last two games.
Question- Eric Decker started the season off great, but has really been a bust for me over the last few weeks. I also own Julio Jones, Hakeem Nicks and Randall Cobb. Should I continue to start him every week and hope he breaks his slump, or do I bench him in favor of my other WRs listed?
James Morris: Since week 10, Decker has just 10 catches for 119 yards and 1 TD. That's an average of 2.5 catches and 29.75 yards over the last four games. Given your other WRs, I would bench Decker to finish out the season as Demaryius Thomas is Peyton Manning's new Marvin Harrison/Reggie Wayne in Denver. I'd rather miss one solid game where he finally catches a touchdown, than continue to run him out there in place of Jones (18 catches, 303 yards and a TD in last 4 games), Nicks (19 catches for 195 yards and a TD in last 4 games) or Cobb (19 catches for 175 yards and a TD in last 4 games).
Question- I just finished 8-5 to make the playoffs in my league and I need your advice on who to start at WR. I decided I'm going to start Ray Rice and Trent Richardson at RB, with Doug Martin as my flex. At WR I've got Demaryius Thomas, Andre Johnson, Julio Jones and Marques Colston. I'm thinking Thomas is an automatic start, but I am having trouble with who to start as my other WR. Do I go with Johnson vs. the Patriots, Jones vs. the Panthers or Colston vs. the Giants? Which one would you go with out of those 3? And do you agree with starting those 3 running backs this week.
James Morris: First, I absolutely LOVE those three RBs this week! I'd give them all top-5 rankings at RB, and since you own them all, your team should be in Beast Mode for points. At WR, I would start Johnson and Thomas. Jones is close, but not as good of a bet, and I don't like Colston until Drew Brees snaps out of this funk he is in. The problem with Brees is that he could easily go off for 5 TDs and 400 yards in any given week, but with 7 INTs over the last two weeks, and the Giants being #2 in the NFL with 18 INTs, it might not get all that much better this week for him. I don't think he throws another 5 INTs, but 2-3 is certainly possible.
Question- I'm in a rookie keeper league and I have Robert Griffin III and Ben Roethlisberger at QB. Right now Russell Wilson is sitting on my waiver wire. Should I grab him for a playoff run and keep him going into next season? (roster attached)
QB Robert Griffin III, Wsh QB
RB C.J. Spiller, Buf RB
RB Bryce Brown, Phi RB
RB/WR Andre Johnson, Hou WR
WR Julio Jones, Atl WR
WR Eric Decker, Den WR
TE Owen Daniels, Hou TE
D/ST Jets D/ST D/ST
K Matt Bryant, Atl K
Bench Darren McFadden*, Oak RB
Bench Ben Roethlisberger*, Pit QB
Bench DeMarco Murray, Dal RB
Bench Randall Cobb, GB WR
Bench Shane Vereen, NE RB
Bench Dustin Keller, NYJ TE
Bench Bilal Powell, NYJ RB
James Morris: If there are no limits to the number of rookies that you can keep, absolutely you should grab him. Looking over your roster I would cut Dustin Keller or Bilal Powell of the Jets and add Wilson right this second. Neither player will play for you nor has much value to finish this season out. Wilson is showing that he can get the job done, but the Seahawks need to give him better weapons to throw to next season for him to avoid the sophomore slump.
Question- It's going to be a tough week at my house. In the first playoff week in our PPR league, my roommate and I are matched against each other. Also, my beloved Bengals are matched against his Cowboys. I read your column every week, and was hoping you could help me set my line-up this week.
At QB I have Drew Brees. My RBs are Frank Gore, Doug Martin, Benjarvus Green-Ellis, and Alfred Morris. My WRs are Demaryius Thomas, Julio Jones, Reggie Wayne, Jordy Nelson, T.Y. Hilton, and Brandon Lloyd. My TE is Jimmy Graham. I have the Cardinals and Falcons D/ST, and my kicker is Lawrence Tynes.
My starting line-up looks like this as of now:
QB – Drew Brees
RB – Frank Gore
RB – Doug Martin
WR – Demaryius Thomas
WR – Reggie Wayne
TE – Jimmy Graham
FLEX – Julio Jones
D/ST – Cardinals
K – Lawrence Tynes
Which leaves this on my bench:
-Jordy Nelson (not going to play him)
-Brandon Lloyd (not going to play him)
-Benjarvus Green-Ellis (wary of playing him)
-Alfred Morris (wary again)
-Falcons D/ST
–Kyle Rudolph (not going to play him over Jimmy Graham)
-T.Y. Hilton (considering playing him over Reggie Wayne)
Do you have any advice for me that can help me maintain bragging rights in my house?
James Morris: First, I would check out Criagslist in your local area just in case you need to move… work smart, not hard. Then, I would change the password on the internet for the house so your roommate can't make changes to his roster. Again, work smart, not hard.
With regards to your team, I would swap out Gore for Morris this weekend. The Dolphins allow just 15.0 fantasy PPG to RBs (7th best in NFL), whereas the Ravens give up 19.1 PPG (11th worst). I'd look to add a different defense for this weekend; Look at the Broncos, Jets, Browns or Rams, in that order, and cut the Falcons or Brandon Lloyd (disappointment).
Hilton and Wayne have actually been right on par with each other over the last month (59.10 points in NFL.com for Wayne – 59.30 for Hilton). But, the real difference comes in that Wayne has 153 targets on the season, and Hilton has just 69. Wayne receives 30 percent of the total throws to Hilton's 14 percent. So, long story short, you play the best player available and don't try and get cute with it. Keep Wayne in there.

Fits 39 cans, a keeper redfish, or quartered deer
Polyethylene construction is nearly indestructible
Permafrost insulation and FatWall design
Bearfoot non-slip feet assures it stays put
Strong nylon rope handles with textured grip
With the ability to hold 39 cans, a keeper redfish, or a quartered deer, the YETI Tundra 65 Cooler has plenty of room to fit all your needs. With all the same features as every other Tundra, the 65 is an ideal choice for hunting, fishing, boating, tailgating, or any other event that requires loads of perfectly chilled snacks or beverages.
The one-piece, roto-molded polyethylene construction is the same that's used on whitewater kayaks, meaning it's virtually indestructible. Permafrost Insulation with exceptional thermal resistance and the FatWall design give you at least two inches between the inside and outside, meaning you can spend more time doing what you love and less time restocking ice. The ColdLock, freezer-style gasket gives a strong, airtight seal, and the molded-in, self-stopping NeverFail hinge system means you never have to replace a busted hinge.
T-Rex lid latches keep everything closed tight, while AnchorPoint tie-down slots and Bearfoot non-slip feet assure it stays put, no matter where it is. When the fun is over, a quick twist of the Vortex drain system drains it all, and military-grade nylon rope handles with a heavy-duty textured grip give you a strong hold when hauling your Tundra to the next activity. Even though it's certified bear-resistant, the Tundra still comes with YETI's 5-year warranty.

It autodetected the Voodoo3 (no small feat), also autodetected the Monitor, which neither Caldera, Suse, nor previous installations of Redhat have been able to do (with that monitor). It even set up the *sound* right, from the beginning. Quite impressive.
Started preliminary development of a new Gnome application. I'm still pretty lost about it, and need to check out the documentation on the widgets some more. I actually have a little bit of extra time now to work on coding, so I am psyched.
Started DSL training at work a couple days ago (tech support for Bell Atlantic). I have one response to that, "Man am I glad I have cable!". I have *never* had a problem with my cable modem, have never had an outage, etc. I know only *one* person who has ha any problem at all, and that had to do with the electrical resistance from the signal being designed for also having TV cable (which they didn't). Sounds a little confusing, but it took just one repair job and was then fixed, and they've been fine ever since.
As a counterpoint, there are at least 3 or 4 outages per day (in different areas) of DSL. The software also isn't too grand, and youneed to be able to configure PPPoE manually if you want to use it on a non-Windows/Mac OS. PPPoE can be a beeyatch.
That's it for now, until later, special internet friends.
