Does the server exist Can't find the a MySQL server on 'localhost': Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
Are the access credentials correct That username/password doesn't work: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
Can I access/create the database I can't create new databases and the database 'SS_mysite' doesn't exist (user 'root' doesn't have CREATE DATABASE permissions.)

Lindsay Lohan Present For Dolce & Gabanna Downfall
Here's Lindsay Lohab at the D&G show at Fashion Week in Milan. For real, how does she get into these things anymore? Didn't the Marilyn Monroe shots seal the deal? Christ. Anyway, I'm not one to really report on the cutting edge of fashion (shoutout to my peeps behind the register down at the Old Navy!) but sources are saying that Dolce & Gabanna's new line this time around sucks it. They're supposed to be known for their saucy clothing but this go-round they covered all their twigs up.
One American buyer went so far as to say "If I was on a blind-date and a girl answered the door dressed like that, I'd say I was gay and looking for my boyfriend's apartment." Straight but not narrow! The models were covered in woolen vests, and mid-length skirts and hats.
Other celebs besides Lindsay on the scene were Fergie, Sheryl Crow, the psychotic Naomi Campbell and hotass Monica Belluci. Lohan herself was in more traditional D&G garb, and confessed that her skirt was "too short". Dude, if this famed motorho thinks her skirt is too short, it's got to be actually completely inside her vaginal walls.

Nehalem: The Unwritten Chaptersby Anand Lal Shimpi on November 7, 2008 12:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- CPUs
Oooh, Shiny - But Why?
Remember this slide?
How about this one?
I referenced both in the Core i7 review, alluding to the possibility that those fundamental design changes would give the Core i7 much better power efficiency than Core 2. However in speaking to Intel's Nehalem architects and power engineers I came to the realization that those very design changes wouldn't be solely responsible for the sorts of power efficiency gains I showed on the previous page. If you look at maximum power consumption as a hard limit, for example the 130W TDP, Nehalem's designers have to somehow - without the benefits of a die shrink - improve performance without increasing power.
Since Core i7 is a "tock" processor you just get the new architecture, you don't get the benefits of Moore's law since it's still a 45nm chip. With no help from the manufacturing process, Nehalem's architects must create ways to save power and then spend the power savings on improving performance. Switching to an all static CMOS design and a more power efficient cache are two examples of ways that the Nehalem architects won themselves a bigger power budget, without increasing the total TDP of the chip. The architects then promptly spent their power savings on more performance; since the market has already accepted a 130W TDP part, simply delivering lower power but with no additional performance wouldn't make any sense. It's because of this that we're able to see these 20 - 60% increases in performance without correspondingly large increases in power consumption.
So why then is the Core i7-965 so much more power efficient than the QX9770? The answer actually boils down to the architectural level decisions made in Nehalem. Remember the power gate transistors?
With these transistors Intel can effectively shut off an entire core if it is idle, cutting it off completely from being a power drain. At the same TDP, for applications that don't use all four cores, Intel's Core i7 should draw less power than any Core 2 Duo before it and we see this in the single-threaded Cinebench test as well as the gaming tests:
|Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 (3.2GHz)
|Intel Core i7-965 (3.2GHz)
Cinebench (1 thread)
Age of Conan
Race Driver GRID
FarCry 2
Fallout 3
The Cinebench test is single threaded so only one core is active at any time and only a few of the gaming tests can keep all four cores busy, thus giving the Core i7 the ability to be far more power efficient than Intel's Core 2 Extreme QX9770.
But what about in the multi-threaded tests (or the gaming tests like FarCry 2 that actually stress all four cores)? Here, at worst, the Core i7 draws about the same amount of power as the Core 2 despite offering much better performance. In these situations we get a combination of things benefitting Nehalem. The memory controller is on-die and built on a 45nm process, instead of 90nm like on the QX9770's X48 chipset, which gives Nehalem an edge. The transistor design decisions, while mostly spent on increasing performance, can have an impact on power consumption here as well. Nehalem also has fewer transistors and a smaller cache, the majority of which runs slower than the cache in Penryn.
The sum of all of this is that at the same TDP value, with less than four cores fully active, Intel's Core i7 is capable of drawing a good 10 - 20% less total system power than the previous generation 45nm Core 2. With all cores pegged at 100%, the Core i7 tends to draw the same amount of power or a bit more, but performance is improved significantly in those cases thanks to Hyper Threading.
It's interesting but not surprising that the Core i7's power story mimics its performance one: well threaded applications show huge improvements in power efficiency, but the unexpected benefit is that not-so-well-threaded applications can also showcase Core i7's more efficient power usage.

npp - Friday, November 07, 2008 - link"Intel has done nothing to limit overclocking with the Core i7" :)
There was such a huge anti-campaign going on everywhere towards Core i7 overclocking that it seems almost funny to hear that now. I just couldn't imagine how on earth Intel would ditch one of the sweetest things in the geek world just for fun... They weren't so stupid, fortunately.
I would be very interested in some idle/full load temps, particulary for the junior model, at stock speeds and overclocked to some reasonable 24/7 level. It's interesting to see how much they differ from temps we're used to see right now with the good old Core 2 Duos/Quads. Reply
Mclendo06 - Friday, November 07, 2008 - linkDoes anyone know what the contact pads on the top edges of the processor are for? I've wondered this for a while but a quick google search only yielded questions. Also, Anand, thanks for the great coverage. Reply

bash: display CURRENT time in prompt?
After much too often wondering "hey, when did I actually start this time-consuming command?", I'm considering adding a timestamp to my bash prompt.
My first try was simple: PS1="(\A) $PS1" which gives a display like:
(16:58) exscape ~ #
However, the problem with that approach is that it displays the time when the line was written, not when the command on it was executed. So, if I run "ls" at 16:58, and get a new prompt "(16:58) ..." and then run the next command 2 hours later, it'll look like this:
(16:58) exscape ~ # new-command
I of course want the line to display the time when the command was actually run, not when the prompt appeared.
Any ideas?
Did you try running your time-consuming commands with 'time'?
I always assumed it's just logical that it goes the way you described..time is read, command prompt written, then you are expected to type in something etc. But you never know, maybe it is possible anyway; one way I can think of (I'm not sure if it's possible in practice, but as an idea) would be to wait till something is typed in, then "cut" that (so it's not lost), rewrite the command prompt with current time in it, then "paste" (to get the updated time show up) and run the command and see how it works out..then next prompt would be printed the way you made it etc. Sounds like a lot of work, though, unless you run time-consuming things all the time and don't want to type in extra five chars :)
An example from the man page of time:
time wc /etc/hosts
Yeah, I do use 'time', but not always. The times I forget is when I'd like this! :)
(And even when using time, if it's mid-operation, you still have no clue when it started.)
It definitely makes sense this way; the shell reads the clock, and prints it out. Period.
What I'd like is, I guess, a clock that updates up until you press enter, when the time you pressed enter is conserved in the history/scrollback.
export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S "
I have not used this feature of zsh, but perhaps it may be of use in this situation:
preexec() looks like it could work, if I could only find a command to go up one line and overwrite the time. That'd mean switching to zsh, though... I've considered it for some time but I'm not sure I'm ready just yet. ;)
HISTTIMEFORMAT only appears to be used with the "history" command, no? It doesn't change my scrollback a bit, anyhow.
Anyways, thanks for the answers, but more ones are still appreciated :) Especially a simple way to do "go up one line, to the beginning of the line, and type this" for preexec().
You could try the following:
PS1="(\$(date +%H:%M:%S) $PS1"
I tested this on HP-UX and OpenSUSE 11.0 and it seems to give prompt you want.
Look at this output for example:
(11:02) exscape ~ # ls
$PS4 and set -x
I am posting this late because this comes up in the first page when searching for bash prompt timestamp, I hope it's useful:
user@hostname:~$ PS4=":\D{%F %T}: "; set -x
just add ' \@ ' somewhere in your PS1
export PS1='\[\033[0m\]\[\033[0;30;47m\] \u\[\033[0m\]\[\033[0;30;47m\]@\h\[\033[0m\] \w\n\[\033[1;32m\] \@ \$ \[\033[0m\]'

TEL AVIV (May. 18)
A scheduled meeting today of Maj. Gen. E.L.M. Burns United Nations truce supervisor and representatives of the Israel and Egyptian army authorities to work out methods of reducing tension along the Gaza strip border was cancelled by Israel after the death this morning of a third Israel soldier wounded when a vehicle in which a five-man patrol was riding hit a landmine near the Egyptian border. The meeting was cancelled to underline that Israel takes a very grave view of yesterday incident.
Meanwhile the army has announced that it has cleared mines left over from the War of Liberation from the Faluja vicinity and other areas within the Lakish settlement region in preparation for the establishment of 19 new settlements in the region this summer. Among the settlements to be opened within the next three months are 12 for new immigrants and two by youth groups In addition an urban center will be built close to the site of the ancient Philistine town of Gat and will be known as Kirya Gat. The Lakish area lies to the southwest of Jerusalem

How you respond to your cancer diagnosis is unique. You might want to surround yourself with friends and family, or you may ask for time alone to sort through your feelings. The shock and confusion of your diagnosis may leave you feeling lost and unsure of yourself. To help you cope, try to:
Maintain intimacy with your partner. Vaginal cancer treatments are likely to cause side effects that make sexual intimacy more difficult for you and your partner. If treatment makes sex painful or temporarily impossible, try to find new ways of maintaining intimacy.
Spending quality time together and having meaningful conversations are ways to build your emotional intimacy. When you're ready for physical intimacy, take it slowly.
If sexual side effects of your cancer treatment are hurting your relationship with your partner, talk to your doctor. He or she may offer ways to cope with sexual side effects and may refer you to a specialist.
Create a support network. Having friends and family supporting you can be valuable. You may find it helps to talk with someone about your emotions. Other sources of support include social workers and psychologists — ask your doctor for a referral if you feel like you need someone to talk to.
Talk with your pastor, rabbi or other spiritual leader. Other people with cancer can offer a unique perspective and may better understand what you're going through, so consider joining a support group — whether it's in your community or online. Contact the American Cancer Society for more information on support groups.
There is no sure way to prevent vaginal cancer. However, you may reduce your risk if you:

Here is something we've found out the hard way:
If you are booking a cruise on Princess to include your kids in a their own staterooms, as we did for our son, 43yo, and another cabin for our daughter, 45yo, all together three cabins,
and you pay the total bill, be aware that if one of them cancells, as our son did, HE gets the insurance credit of 75% for HIS NEXT cruise within ONE year limit. The beef there, is that I paid for his stateroom and I should get the credit. It took me two and a 1/2 years to convince Princess that I am the one with a checkbook and finally, it took a Notary Public's certified letter to change and send ME the
Wait, there is more!
Just before the Iraq war, my wife and I booked another cruise (Transoceanic from London to NYC) this October on Grand Princess. Princess then changes the itinerary and the date to Golden Princess. We did not like the itinerary and the new date and our TA cancelled this cruise and booked both of us on Sun Princess (Eastern Carib/10days) also this Oct 22. Now, we find out that since we cancelled the one from England to NYC, Princess will deduct $600.00 from our sons'$1740.- insurance credit. Princess reasoning,- one is allowed to apply the cancellation insurance rebate only to the NEXT cruise, without any new cancellations! Mind you, the Princess changed the itinerary, the vessel and the date!
Oh well, one last cruise on Princess this October (to obviously use up the Insurance refund) and hopefully many other cruises will be with Celebrity or Royal Caribbean!

OMAHA, Neb Criminal defense attorneys are raising questions about whether Nebraska's state psychiatric hospital in Lincoln has opened itself up to legal consequences after recently declining a judge's order to house Nikko Jenkins, a convicted Omaha killer found too mentally ill to participate in his sentencing.
In a compromise, Jenkins is being housed in a Lincoln prison, where hospital staff will treat him.
Attorney Maren Chaloupka, of Scottsbluff, says the Lincoln Regional Center "is not above the law" and should be providing treatment for those in state custody with serious mental illnesses.
She and other criminal defense attorneys say the hospital is opening itself up to lawsuits and that its plan to treat Jenkins while he's in prison could jeopardize his conviction on appeal.

All Saints, Great Fransham
Saints, Great Fransham
You can see from the remains of the arcade in the south wall that there was once an aisle here. The pretty little lead spire looks as if it is on holiday from somewhere in Essex.
It may be that the parish thinks their church is of little interest, and keeps it locked for that reason. If that is so, then they are wrong; All Saints has several brasses, including the large 1414 brass to Galfridus Fransham which is of national importance. Another is a shroud brass. In addition, the medieval font will be of particular interest to family history enthusiasts, because it originally came from the busy city centre parish of St Etheldreda in Norwich.
Perhaps they keep it all locked up to protect their property, but as we are reminded by Ecclesiastical Insurance, a church which is not regularly open is statistically more likely to be vandalised, more likely to be broken into, and more likely to have something stolen from it than one which is.

S&P tells South Canterbury how it can improve its rating
Standard & Poor's has set out a range of conditions that South Canterbury Finance need to fulfill to get off its negative Credit Watch status.
Thursday, 6 May 2010
by Paul McBeth
However the ratings agency warns that asset sales alone will not be enough to forestall a downgrade.
S&P confirmed SCF's current status, a BB rating with negative credit watch, which gives the finance company a 50:50 chance of being downgraded over the next three months, and said "SCF's ability to deal with this liquidity and refinancing risk to become clearer by the end of May 2010."
S&P said SCF wouldn't be able to meet its short-term liquidity needs with asset sales alone after the company indicated it would split its business into three units, one of which would house the firm's investments that were flagged for sale. The other units would separately hold SCF's problem loans and its finance operations.
Credit analyst Derryl D'Silva flagged the month of October, when the first government deposit guarantee was set to expire, as a major liquidity threat, with a large chunk of debentures are set to mature.
By the end of May, "we'll be able to observe and assess the company's success in further building balance sheet liquidity and reducing its refinancing requirements leading into October 2010," D'Silva said. "We also believe SCF will continue to pursue other options such as asset sales, and recapitalization to improve its overall financial strength."
S&P said the Timaru-based lender could be taken off creditwatch negative and placed on a negative outlook if it builds its cash balance to $150 million by the end of the month, and makes headway into rolling over the $350 million worth of debentures coming due in October. The rating agency also wants to see signs of healthy reinvestment rates and strong inflows of cash.
D'Silva said the lender had benefited from getting accepted into the government's extended retail deposit guarantee, and a $37.5 million cash injection at the end of this month. Pyne Gould investor George Kerr's Torchlight Fund pumped in $22 million via Allan Hubbard's Southbury Corporation, and had the option of boosting that to $37.5 million.
SCF is seeking to raise as much as $50 million through deposits that aren't covered by the government's guarantee. For those deposits covered by the extended government scheme, it's offering 8% annual interest for 12-month to 20-month terms, and expects to roll-over about half of its existing debentures as they come due.

In his opening remarks to dignitaries, clergy and faithful at the Warsaw airport Thursday and later at the city's main cathedral there was no avoiding the sounds of the changing of the guard since John Paul died nearly 14 months ago. A skilled linguist like his predecessor, Benedict opened and closed his speeches in Polish, but (as planned) spoke almost exclusively in Italian, the official Vatican tongue, with an aide translating into the local language. There could be no more jarring reality for this passionately Catholic country that had grown used to seeing one of their own in the seat of Peter, and relied on John Paul's unique leadership to help end Communist rule and chart a course for Poland's future.
Yet the Catholic Church is a 2,000 year institution, where even the passing of national hero-pope does not translate into a fizzling of faith. Poland in fact remains a bastion of traditional Catholicism in an increasingly secular Europe. Some 96% the population call themselves Roman Catholic, while 57% attend mass every Sunday. "Stand firm in your faith," Benedict told worshipers is the motto for the four-day trip. "I have very much wanted to make this visit to the native land and people of my beloved predecessor, the servant of God John Paul II," the Pope said. "I have come to follow in the footsteps of his life."
Crowds, in some places five people deep, lined the entire seven-mile route from the airport to the cathedral late Thursday morning. Benedict will visit John Paul's hometown of Wadowice on Saturday, before an open-air mass on Sunday in Krakow, where John Paul served as archbishop, with one million faithful expected to attend. Benedict will close his trip with a solemn visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, where the occupying Nazi regime killed some 1.5 million people, most of them Jews. It is a trip that John Paul made on his first return to Poland as Pope in 1979, an early sign of a papacy committed to healing the deep wounds between Catholicism and Judaism. There will be added significance in the arrival at Auschwitz of a German-born pope who served briefly in the Hitler Youth during World War II, when membership in the Nazi paramilitary organisation was compulsory.
Benedict, who previously made the trip as a Cardinal, was asked by journalists on the plane how he felt about visiting Auschwitz "as a German." The Pope responded: "I am above all a Catholic. I must say that this is the most important point." Nationalities, he said, can help fulfill the "togetherness of the communion of the Catholic Church." After his election last April, Benedict said he saw a "providential design" in a Polish pope being succeeded by a German one. "Both popes in their youth both on different sides and in different situations were forced to experience the barbarity of the Second World War," Benedict said.
On his first foreign trip last August, a similarly busy four-day visit to Cologne for World Youth Day, Benedict was still getting used to his papal robes. Some of the faithful, with the memory of John Paul's passing fresh in their minds, were likewise still taking measure of their new leader's subtler persona. Now, more than a year into his papacy, there is a sense that this longtime behind-the-scenes Vatican figure has found his comfort zone under the public spotlight. This time he wasn't even scared off, as he was last August, when photographers and cameramen rushed to the front of the papal plane to catch a glance of the Pope just before takeoff. He even talked about the weather: "It doesn't have to be warm, but we just hope it doesn't rain!" he told reporters.
He is taking command of the new job behind the cameras as well. Benedict made a key personnel shift last week in Rome, scaling back the role of a John Paul favorite, powerful Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, who was moved from the prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples to the Archdiocese of Naples. Cardinal Ivan Dias, the longtime archbishop of Bombay known to be respected by the new Pope, was brought in to take Sepe's old job.
Also last week, Benedict approved a careful censure of the founder of the Legionaries of Christ, accused of sexually abusing minors: the 86-year-old Father Marcial Maciel Degollado will have to give up his public ministry, but no more action will be taken against him because of his age and poor health.
There is a sense among Vatican insiders that these two recent decisions along with a looming decision to replace Secretary of State Cardinal Angelo Sodano is a sign that Benedict is getting a sure handle on the running of the massive church hiearchy. Still, the Pope knows he can't simply sit behind his desk in Rome. This trip to Poland, which will be followed this year by stops in Spain, Germany and Turkey, will at once pay proper homage to John Paul and show that there is a new man very much in charge.

Is it possible to get permanent makeup done on lip lift surgery scars?
Can You Get Micropigmentation Done on Lip Lift Scars?
Doctor Answers 1
Can you camoflauge lip lift scars?
{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}

Yes, any hypopigmented scar can be pigmented by an experienced permanent makeup artist. Expect the pigment not to last as long on the mucosal (wet) surface of the lip, so this may require a touch up more frequently. Hope this helps

Today marks the 12th annual Day of Silence, an event where students from middle school to college are asked "to take some form of a vow of silence to bring attention to the name-calling, bullying and harassment—in effect, the silencing—experienced by LGBT students and their allies." This year's event is in memory of Lawrence King, the California eighth-grader shot to death by a classmate because of his sexual orientation and gender expression.
The Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network coordinates the event, and they report that students from a record 6,800 middle and high schools registered as of yesterday. Last year, a day before the event, they had slightly more than 4,000. King's death was a tragedy, but if it has helped raise awareness so fewer people suffer his fate in the future, then at least some good will come of it.
HRC also informs us that:
Representatives Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Eliot Engel (D-NY), and Lois Capps (D-CA), along with 28 co-sponsors, introduced H. Con. Res. 328 (.pdf), a resolution in support of the 2008 National Day of Silence. And yesterday, April 23, Representatives Baldwin and Sam Farr (D-CA) spoke on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives about the importance of the National Day of Silence and the need to confront anti-GLBT harassment in schools.
Support at that level is important, but not more so than students and others willing to raise awareness within their local communities. Sara Whitman at Suburban Lesbian writes about her son's choice to participate (and her followup). Students in Breckenridge, Colorado and Los Angeles, among other places, are organizing local events. (Thanks, National Gay News.) I even know of non-student employees at one major corporation who are asking their colleagues to join them for 15 minutes of silence and/or a private observance of the event.
There are those, too, who are protesting the observance. Promotion of homosexuality and all that. You've heard it before, so I'm not going to dwell on it here. Google "day of silence" and you'll find the news, if you want.
Are your children participating in the Day of Silence, or do you know others in your community who are?

A CAR which ploughed into the doorstep of a house in Curtis Street in the early hours of Saturday morning, has left resident Tilma Rios frightened for her children's lives.
For the second time in only three months, a car careered into a house on the street, driving straight into the front of a house, sending bricks flying, scaring residents and causing structural damage to the exterior wall.
Police attended the scene at around 5am and a man was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving. Insp Lindsey Winter, of Wiltshire Police, said the driver of the black Vauxhall involved in the crash has been arrested and remanded in custody.
It is the second time in only three months that a car has smashed into a property near the road's junction with Crombey Street, and more than 11 such accidents have taken place in the last 20 years.
Tilma, a mother of two, said that it has happened so often she is used to the sound of a car smashing into a house.
The 43-year-old is concerned that one day someone will be seriously injured.
She said: "It's really scary because I worry about letting tthe children play in the living room. Every time I see a lorry come along at the junction I am worried."

Confession used to mean you sat in a small wooden box, talked through a screen, exposed your sins and received absolution from a priest before your maker and the heavenly host.
In the '90s, you're received through a small cable box and exposed on a TV screen; you boast your conquests and get dissed by a hellacious talk-show host before your makeover in front of 30 million voyeurs.
Spilling your guts to omniscient sages like Jerry Springer, Maury Povich or Geraldo Rivera probably does nothing for the soul, but it's gold for network ratings. Whether it works for opera is something we'll see this week, when the Philharmonic Society hosts the talked-about talk-show opera Dennis Cleveland by Mikel Rouse, one of the young lions of New York's postmodern, post-minimalist Downtown music movement. The society bills it as "Opera meets Oprah." Ain't dat cute?
Directed by Rouse with set design by "MacArthur genius" John Jesurun, it's a mildly funny multimedia production staged as a live-to-tape talk show. Rouse also plays the role of Cleveland like a smooth, slimy evangelist/freak-show barker. Opera choristers act as bigmouth panelists, while locally recruited singers—some from the Orange County High School of the Arts—are audience plants. Live shots of principals and the studio audience get flashed onto video monitors suspended all around—the better to blur that division between the voyeurs and the viewed. And, against expectations, the musical language of Dennis Cleveland is way more urban rock than "operatic."

"I'm really interested in breaking opera out of the sort of European 19th-century mold," says the 42-year-old composer, "both in instrumentation and in presentation away from the proscenium stage."
In Rouse's libretto, nobody gets to say, "You go, girl!" or "Kick 'em to the curb!" But he did his homework, sitting in on enough Rickiand Monteltapings to capture that "My way or the highway!" sensibility. When it premiered at the Kitchen in Manhattan three years ago, Kyle Gann of the Village Voice couldn't contain his ecstatic pro-PoMo promo: "The most exciting and innovative new opera since Einstein on the Beach." Let's just say it's no stinkin' Traviata.
As stagecraft, Dennisis mass-culture theater in the tradition of '80s and early '90s operas like Nixon in China, Jackie O, Harvey Milk and X(as in Malcolm), but without the historical cult of celebrity. Lee Hoiby's foodie opera after a Julia Child episode, Bon Appetit!, comes close, but Dennis is hipper and more serious. It's the second in a trilogy that includes Rouse's earlier Failing Kansas (based on Truman Capote's In Cold Blood) and The End of Cinematics (on the influence of corporate-driven entertainment on modern culture).
As a child of the late '50s, television was a big-time influence on Rouse. But he has a brainy slant on it from the writings of Canadian essayist John Ralston Saul, who compares the redundant formulas of standard TV fare to religious rites and rituals—especially in the confessional nature of talk shows.
"What runs through Dennis Cleveland is a certain kind of spirituality that's seen through the prism of popular culture," Rouse explains. "Is that an answer? Is the media the new spirituality? Is the repetitiveness of television fulfilling that ritualistic aspect that you used to get from a Chinese ceremony or a Catholic Mass?"
Loaded questions coming from a strong-willed type like Rouse. Born Michael Rouse, he changed the spelling (but not the pronunciation) of his name in the third grade. He grew up in the boot-heel region of Missouri near the Arkansas border and in his teens started a Talking Heads clone band called Tirez Tirez that put out a worthy pop album in Against All Flags. But it was his 1984 piece, Quorum, scored entirely for Linn drum machine, that put him on the map as a serious composer. The late choreographer Ulysses Dove used it in his Vespers, and it's been in the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater repertoire ever since.
A formally trained composer and visual artist, Rouse (along with the likes of Ben Neill, Art Jarvinen, Lois Vierk, John Luther Adams, Rhys Chatham and Bill Duckworth) is linked to the rock-influenced, post-minimalist subgenre called "totalism" that mixes the harmonic complexity of classical with the texture and rhythm of Asian and African music. Against the advice of academic friends who said he was "flushing his career down the toilet," Rouse's music embraces rock unambiguously.
"I have to address where I came from," he says. "[It was] a place where there was a lot of rock music, a lot of jazz, country and western. You go to a conservatory. You come to New York. You want to be sophisticated and fairly intelligent. But at the end of the day, whether you know it or not, you're either trying to escape from what you really are, or you're trying to ignore it."
The urban groove in Dennis, for instance, runs deep, so that a number like "Beautiful Murders" wouldn't sound out of place on a progressive pop radio station. "The music that I like most right now in the past five years is hip-hop," says Rouse. "It was probably the first music since I was a kid that made people say, 'Well, that's not music!' So I trust that response to mean that obviously hip-hop has had a huge cultural effect."
You can hear that impact in the complexity of his word-driven music, or "counterpoetry." Rouse writes his own lyrics, recited in a layered counterpoint of mixed meters that wildly changes the meanings. He says he hated the style at first but eventually bonded with it. Wrestling with new styles, though, isn't as bad as suffering from postmodern disease—i.e., a conflicted love-hate relationship with nostalgia, extending even to his beloved rock & roll.
"It's not like I'm saying rock's great," he demurs. "Quite frankly, I wish it was dead because that was music from my generation. One of the reasons I like hip-hop so much is because it feels like the first time that we're finally getting away from the consumer strangulation that rock and pop culture have put on society."
Dennis Cleveland has its West Coast premiere at Founders Hall, Orange County Performing Arts Center, 600 Town Center Dr., Costa Mesa, (949) 553-2422. Tues.-Sat., Nov. 6, 8 p.m. $25.

The Medieval and Renaissance Studies Program provides students with a broad introduction to the development of Western civilization from the end of antiquity to the 17th century. It is founded on the principle that an interdisciplinary perspective is the most profitable way to gain an understanding of the formation of early modern Europe.
In order to develop a multifaceted picture of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, all students select one of two core courses in history, and they are encouraged to explore a variety of disciplinary perspectives provided by various national literatures, fine arts and philosophy. The exact balance of these approaches depends on a student's interest. The program offers a useful complement to many concentrations, and it is a good foundation for graduate study in a variety of fields.

Written, directed by, and starring Gary Ugarek, 2006's DEADLANDS: THE RISING aims for low budget zombie glory and just falls short. It's not its lack of budget, or untrained actors, it's the fact that the movie is as sharp as a cue ball and just as much fun to stick into your eyes.
The story unravels with a soccer mom's journal entry recounting the days that led to the zombie apocalypse in the exact same way Sarah Connor waxes philosophical about Judgement Day. Apparently some terrorist attack or chemical spill has wiped out much of humanity 6 months ago, so lets flashback to how it all started, shall we?
Two buddies meet up to go boozing and shoot stuff. Dad of the year, leaves his wife and kid behind, meets his recently divorced compadre, and then head out into the wilderness to do manly man things and stuff, which means mixing alcohol and firearms while berating the institution of marriage. Please also keep in mind that all television, Internet, and phones have been mysteriously knocked out, but talk radio lives on. Half tanked after downing their six pack targets, they soon hear the reports that the government and local law enforcement have issued curfews and set up FEMA style community centers for those displaced by an unknown dilemma. Now Dad and sidekick must make their way back to his family and figure out a way to survive as they discover the advancing zombie horde. Yup, that's basically the plot. No real explanation to who anyone is, or what is causing the chaos. At about an hour in length you'd think this would keep a steady pace, but I've had more fun waiting for my food to show up at Applebee's. At least this movie can't give you explosive diarrhea.
The special effects are severely lackluster. The only stand out is a decent throat rip from a zombie attack that turns the community center into a slaughterhouse. The zombie makeup is pretty much on par with the original DAWN OF THE DEAD, hand painted Halloween fare, minus all the fun of the kill sprees and head shots. A talented effects artist would have helped put a proper shine to this flick, at least offering something to the genre fans that are willing to tolerate its run time, but you can't polish a turd. The biggest offense is that it takes 26 minutes out of this hour long time sucker to finally deliver a zombie on screen.
The cinematography is okay, accomplishing what it needs to and at least staying in focus. There's an overabundance of slow motion shots that seem to drag out this film even further. It looks as if it was lit with work lights from Home Depot, but the musical score gives it an 80s style vibe of cheaply made junk food cinema. The musical accompaniment is the only thing that seems to keep a sense of tempo and pace throughout the film. Intercut between is some gun play and people shouting, because in low budget film making the louder you are determines how respected the camera captures you.
The acting in this film is wooden, but it's real. There's no trained actors, only friends and family that are now owed bigger favors than these filmmakers could ever repay. There's really no purpose for them until they can become zombies or victims. The saddest thing is that some of the back story could have been placed on these shoulders to carry the film forward. Sadder still would be having to sit through that. Producer Brian Wright and and Director Gary Ugarek definitely should have sprung to have anyone else but them play the film's stars. Then they should have spent that time focusing more on what sinks this film instead of drinking beers and spouting cliches of dialogue that sound like they were written on wet naps from a Sports Bar happy hour.
The film disappoints because it exudes no love for the genre. No great effects sequences, no expansion of the zombie mythology, only a plot cooked up by weekend warriors to impress their drinking buddies. I could forgive the low budget delivery, and the cardboard acting, but there's no plea to invest in the story or its characters. Even at an hour long, it's too much to sit through. Personally, I would've loved to see more with the mother and child, but instead it's boys night out as we tag along to be entertained by the mindnumbing dialogue and banter of these two ass clowns. Ultimately, there's no one to connect to, no one to root for, except maybe the zombies, but their screen time is so brief, you feel as if you were the victim of a bait and switch scam. Don't promise me porno and then not even flash me.
The DVD special features include the Nick Thompson short film I AM ZOMBIE MAN from Deadshed Productions. It's a campy solo effort revealing what it's like to be one of the walking dead. Producer Brian Wright and Director Gary Ugarek also take turns interviewing each other about how the film came to fruition, pulling double duty as actors, and the usual production headaches that plague no budget indie films. Here you'll discover their half hearted plans of a sequel DEADLANDS 2: TRAPPED. The best part though are the trailers for the Mexican flavored zombie flick THE STINK OF FLESH, the time capsule release of 1990's GHOUL SCHOOL, and Compound Pictures's gang infested, street trash epic THE RED SKULLS. These trailers actually possess the ability to generate enough interest to be added to your Netflix queue if you're still awake and drunk enough after watching DEADLANDS: THE RISING.

Saw this, www.comcast.com/tivo where it says on demand works with Tivo's, so I dumped ATT Uverse and bought 3 brand new tivo's. Premere XL. Updated everything, paired cable cards but On Demand does not work. I'm in the Chicago market, Homewood head end. The website clearly says that on demand works with TIVO's and doesnt say that there is any limitaitons, but the Xfinity app doesnt appear at all in my Tivo. All of my connections are correct and I can see programming. Did coustomer chat and it was useless, see transcript. I was actually frusturated cause coustmer chat did not know anything and was having me do useless steps and even said at one point that premeirs dont do on demand. Completely useless. Just want to get ondemand working so I can order PPV events and watch movies.

analyst Dominic has entered room
Dominic: Hello Robert, Thank you for contacting Comcast Live Chat Support. My name is Dominic. Please give me one moment to review your information.

Dominic: Thank you.
Dominic: Before I send signal to the cable box, can you please check double check all cable wirings? Please hand-tighten them to secure connection specially the connection from the cable wall outlet to the back of the cable box.
Robert: Everything is connected fine... There is nothing wrong with the connections as I can see normal cable programming.
Dominic: Thank you for checking. I will now send refresh signal to the cable box. May I have a minute or two please?
Dominic: Thank you for waiting. I just sent signal to the box. Can you please check if all your channels are now working?
Robert: all of my channels, have allways worked, the on demand features dont.. You really dont know what your doing.
Robert: Still no xfinity app on my tivo.
Robert: for on demand
Robert: Your wasting my time
Dominic: I understand Robert.
Robert: No you dont.
Robert: If you understood you would have had the issue fixed allready
Dominic: Upon checking our system, it appears that Tivo boxes is not compatible with XFINITY app. We only certain type of boxes that is compatible with XFINITY App,but not Tivo.
Robert: Really, according to here, it is. www.comcast.com/tivo
Robert: It plainly says clear as day that you can do ondemad with tivo's
Robert: You need some training as you really dont know how to do your job
Dominic: Yes Robert, On Demand is accesible on Tivo. But again for certain Tivo boxes only, and Tivo Premier is onof those that are not compatible with On Demand.
Robert: Bull s**t
Robert: Tivo premere is the only box that is capable.
Robert: According to Tivo's and comcasts website
Dominic: I understand you are frustrated, however I need to ask you to please refrain from using abusive language so that I may continue assisting you.
Robert: This box is brand new and can do Tivo. Rest assured.
Robert: Well stop offering useless solutions and talking out of your as*. Do some research and learn your job.
Robert: Your telling me that the unit your website says is capable isnt capable. I call bs
Robert: You need to read the website where in big bright bold red letters where it clearly states XFINITY® On Demand is now available on Tivo® Premiere DVRs
Robert: Or can you not read english
Robert: Your no help.
Dominic: I understand that Robert.
Robert: I am rating you at a zero
Robert: You havent been able to do anything constructive to solve my issue, other than wasting my time.
Dominic: I understand that Robert.
So here I am, with 3 tivo's that dont do ondemand like how the website says they can. I am in the 3rd largest DMA and your telling me that you cant do on demand via TIVO? I think that's horrible service and the first place to get it would be a market as large as Chicago. After all we are all digital with no analogs.
The On Demand on Tivo is just starting out being deployed. As with most new features rolled out by Comcast it is deployed to different area's at different times. Right now it's only in San Francisco & Boston but will be deployed to more areas "eventually" since there has been no public deployment schedule. Size does not matter on rollouts.
Thanks to my partner on the forum, WarEagle57 he has shared the latest link from Tivo on the On Demand status HERE, since he does have a new Tivo Premier.
The Xfinity web & mobile app only works with Comcast boxes, Tivo has their own mobile app along with web programming access.
Your TiVos are fine. The rep needed to tell you that On Demand is not yet available in Chicago. It's here in Boston which includes southern NH. Just ordered mine. Upgrading from my over 10 year old TiVo 2.
Well that is dissapointing. I was looking forward to getting on demand with my Tivo's. Hopefully it will be much sooner than later!
I had the same issue where I was sure it was available in my area, but the xfinity app did not show up. I went into the comcast store and the rep, who was awesome, said that I didn't have the proper 'coding.' I can only imagine this means that comcast didn't know I had a TiVo Premier. He tapped on the keyboard for about 5 minutes and by the time I got home, I had the Xfinity app on my TiVo.

Colonials Lose Home-Opener to No. 12 Navy, 13-6
Navy Sinks GW with Five Third-Quarter Goals
Sept. 15, 2004
WASHINGTON, DC - WASHINGTON, DC - The 12th-ranked Navy Midshipmen used a 5-0 run in the third quarter to pull away from the George Washington men's water polo team (1-5, 0-2 CWPA Eastern Region) and defeated the Colonials, 13-6, in the team's 2004 home-opener.
With the score 7-4 at the intermission, five different Midshipmen scored, and Navy's defense held the Colonials without a tally to blow open what was a competitive game through the first half.
For the second straight match, freshman goalie Chris Whittam established a new career high in saves. Whittam made 14 saves versus Navy, bettering his previous high of 11 stops against Princeton on Sunday, September 12.
Navy (3-5, 1-1 CWPA Eastern Region) jumped out to an early lead first-quarter lead, 2-0, but GW battled back. Sophomore John Hornberger scored the Colonials' first goal with 3:47 left in the first period and senior co-captain Srdan Randic knotted the match, 2-2, when he converted a four-meter chance with 2:56 left in the opening frame. Navy used a three-goal run, capped off by a tally from Alex Ratcliffe, to take a 5-2 advantage after one quarter of play.
The Midshipmen reeled off two more goals to begin the second quarter, extending Navy's margin to 7-2. After a timeout by GW Head Coach Scott Reed, senior co-captain Nick Koenemann fed Hornberger for a goal, and Konenemann found the back of the net at the 1:14 mark of the second period to make the score, 7-4, at the half.
After Navy's five-goal rally, freshman John Jennings rattled off back-to-back goals 21 seconds apart to cut the Midshipmen's lead to six, 12-6, but Navy's Todd Carlson scored on breakaway with 1:02 left to play in the contest to produce the winning margin.
Hornberger and Jennings each finished with two goals to lead the Colonials. Randic also contributed an assist to goal along with his first-period goal, and senior Greg Abate also recorded an assist in the match.
Ratcliffe finished with five goals for Navy, while Joe Snelgrove contributed three. Goalkeeper Patrick McCreary made nine saves for the Midshipmen.
The Colonials return to the water on Saturday, September 18 when they square off against CWPA Eastern Region rivals Bucknell and Johns Hopkins. GW will play Bucknell at 12:00 p.m. followed by a showdown with Johns Hopkins at 4:00 p.m.

Have you ever wondered what keeps your credit card information safe everytime you buy something online? Number theory! Number Theory is one of the oldest branches of mathematics. In this course, we will discover the beauty and usefulness of numbers, from ancient Greece to modern cryptography. We will look for patterns, make conjectures, and learn how to prove these conjectures. Starting with nothing more than basic high school algebra, we will develop the logic and critical thinking skills required to realize and prove mathematical results. Topics to be covered include the meaning and content of proof, prime numbers, divisibility, rationality, modular arithmetic, Fermat's Last Theorem, the Golden ratio, Fibonacci numbers, coding theory, and unique factorization.

As for the language, I feel that not only it is possible to use Python, but that it is also a good choice. Do you agree? Do you suggest another language or set of languages?

See, I'm not directly involved in the project, I'm just a grad student that works with the professor on other things, but that saw the hacks they were doing to run experiments and thought that "there must be a better way to do this!". That said, from what I've talked to the grad student that is actually involved in the project, I think that at each stage (which lasts, say 90s) subjects make their decisions (how much to fish, demand for fishing quotas, supply for fishing quotas, bids on the auction for quotas). It is not clear to me what kind of "money" the subjects would use in the auction, if its fake money distributed by the auctioneer or if it comes from their profits. It should come from profits, but I have to get the details. > > What department are you in? What are the research goals? > Is coauthorship a possibility?

I'm a PhD student in the Humanities and Social Sciences division at Caltech. This research is led by prof. John Ledyard, who is my main advisor at the moment. From what I understood, the goals are to set up new regulations for fisheries in the Pacific coast that are more efficient, environmentally "healthy" and politically viable (for example, current fishing companies will have to be given a bigger share of the pie). As for co-authorship, again, I'm not part of the project, but I can ask the people involved about it. I can't say for sure, but I firmly believe the code will be licensed under some FOSS license. I would definitely make a lot of noise here if it did not! The trading (general equilibrium) software is called jMarkets, and it is written in Java. Here's the website: http://jmarkets.ssel.caltech.edu/ It is licensed under the GPL, as you can see on the website. Prof. Charles Plott is the main person behind jMarkets at the moment, from what I know. There is also a jAuctions: http://www.hss.caltech.edu/~jkg/jAuctions.html also in Java. Prof. Jacob Goeree is the main person behind jAuctions. Anyway, I'll ask John (Ledyard) about these details too. > Feel free to send a couple relevant papers, > if that might help me see into your project. > I have no substantial fisheries knowledge, > but I am an economist with Python programming > experience, and I think fisheries issues are > interesting.

With full bellies and refrigerators stuffed with leftovers, it's time to say goodbye to Thanksgiving and hello to Christmas.
Many families have already begun that transition by picking out a Christmas tree.
Whether it's a live fir or the predecorated, store-bought variety, many families spent the weekend looking for a perfect tree to take home while the selection was good.
At Silo Christmas Tree Farm in Temple, dozens of families visited Saturday in search of a perfect tree.
Some sought out a small tree to fit their bay windows, while others looked for towering 9-footers for their great rooms.
As adults searched for trees, children focused on the large pile of hay to play in and a pair of tetherball games.
With Christmas just 30 days away, it's not too soon to find the perfect tree.

Illinois-based metal outfit Sworn In has issued the following 2013 year-end recap:
"In the year 2013, we started the year off away from home in the studio recording The Death Card, our first album ever. We spent the entire month of January doing so before embarking on a 54 day tour around the country in February and March. We returned home only to go back out again in April in the east coast and this is when we met our first record label ever, Razor & Tie.
"After this, we then headed home before starting a month on the road with For The Fallen Dreams around the whole U.S. June was our first month ever really off since the beginning of the year. July we recorded the Snake Eyes video and played a string of shows going a few states south.
"On August 20th, we finally released The Death Card to the world while on tour with Oceano. Since then nothing has been the same and we can't thank you enough. In September we did a small headlining run for The Death Card bringing out Gift Giver. In October we left to the west coast with Gideon before starting Bleeding Through's last US tour directly after in November. We did our first ever headlining tour in Canada earlier this month, going to Quebec and Ontario. And just this month we put a cap on all of it by touring the east coast going from one tour to the next with a bunch of amazing bands on each one. The last, and 150th show (including festivals) of the year, we played with VANNA at The Palladium in Worcester, MA.
"What an amazing and busy year, and it could not have been more worth every bit of struggle we faced on the ride. Thank you for making 20XIII the best year for The Death Card to ever come out, and know that 2014 it will only grow more and more. We begin 2014 on the grind once again, out through the months of early January to late February with This or The Apocalypse. The tour following that will be the biggest one in our band's history. Don't miss out.
"When the show ends, it's really only starting." More...

"The album takes an irreverent poke at what Christmas has become. This year's compilation is again, for your pervert delight, a double CD release, thanks to the amazing interest it has arisen among bands, and then it contains 30 tracks of varying genres, wantonly based on the sick meanings of Christmas. The tracks have been newly written and recorded for this release and like all Misantrof releases this compilation is available for completely free download...
"Regarding the ANTIChristmas albums: If you are reading this you probably don't really love Christmas and its meanings. Humanity is great in creating sick things for everybody to believe. It is such a pity that last year the armageddon did not happen as we wished with our 2012 compilation. So, doomed to live on, our xmas joy reaches such unholy levels in knowing you'll love this new stream of free music, and since Christmas has lost whatever religious significance it had, and it has become a sick orgy of exploitation where everyone is encouraged to spend money to buy stuff they don't need and probably cannot afford, this makes us definitely proud."
The compilation features the following lineup: More...

"This year has been quite a journey. A new beginning, a season of hope and perseverance. We're thankful for those of you who have joined us on this journey. This year has found us in Japan, Russia, Australia and all corners of the US. We have had a chance to reconnect with you, our fans, and hear your stories of how music has touched you through the years. We have also found ourselves in practice spaces in Texas, California and Georgia working on new music together.
"This is where our story continues. With Pledgemusic we have begun a new journey of sharing these new songs with you. The experience has been extremely rewarding so far. Sharing our process with you has allowed us to open up and connect with you and each other as a band, like never before. We love hearing your feedback and how you feel about our new creations. We're so thankful for those of you who have pledged and joined in the process with us.
"We would like to give you a sneak peek at a new song we played out live in Texas for the first time. This track is called 'City Kids' and it is a taste of whats to come. We have many other songs to share with you as the process continues, but we leave you this song of reflection and reminiscence.
"We hope you feel the joy and warmth of this holiday season as we celebrate the King of Love, who came as a baby to save the world."
Exodus To Play Fear Festevil 2014
Exodus will be playing at Kirk Von Hammet's Fear Festevil in 2013. The organizers of the fest comment:
"OH YES YES YES! Are we here at your lil' old Fear Festevil delighted to be able to confirm the appearance of legendary Bay Area thrashers Exodus on February 7, at the first FEAR FestEvil ever. The event takes place @ Regency Ballroom 1300 Van Ness Avenue San Francisco CA 94108."
Further details on the fest can be found at this location. The following press release was also issued about Exodus:
"When it comes to thrash metal, in particular Bay Area thrash, Exodus are one of the true Godfathers. Formed in 1980 by guitarist Tim Agnello, drummer Tom Hunting, bassist Carlton Melson and some other six-stringer called Kirk Hammett, Agnello soon left, allowing Hammett's guitar tech Gary Holt to step up and in. Hammett then stumbled across Paul Baloff, a demo was recorded, Hammett left to join some other upstarts, Rick Hunolt took the other guitar and the rest became history.
"Their 1984 debut Bonded By Blood is a stonewall genre classic, and with cranium crunching classics such as A Lesson In Violence, Strike Of The Beast and more… We can promise that this will not be a calm or gentle soiree more than an aural beatdown. The current line-up of Holt, Lee Altus on guitar, Hunting, Jack Gibson on bass and Rob Dukes on vocals has been in place since 2005. Exodus' last album was 2010's Exhibit B: The Human Condition on Nuclear Blast Records, and the band have just started working on new material for a prospective release later in 2014."

Best Types of Bikes
What Type of Bike Is Right For You?
Are you looking to get a new bike this Summer? It can be pretty overwhelming to choose the right one once you see them all lined up at the store.
The best way to find a bike that is right for you is to ask yourself, "What kind of rider am I?" Are you planning on riding on rocky terrain, or do you plan on sticking to paved roads and bike paths? Are you a racer looking for a speedy, lightweight bike, or do you plan on using your new bike to casually commute or enjoy a light Sunday ride?
Here are a few different types of bikes and what they are used for:
Mountain bike: This bike has wide, knobby tires, so you can ride on almost any surface including dirt roads, mountain trails, and paved streets. This bike has a gear system, which is helpful when you're trucking up hills. It also has a sturdy frame and suspensions, which are helpful when you're on rugged terrain. It's a popular bike (it's what I have) since it's durable, fast, and versatile, so you're not limited to certain types of roads.
Want to learn about the other types of bikes? Then
Road bike: This bike is built for speed, so it can be used for racing but also just for riding around. It has a lightweight frame and strong yet thin tires that are less than an inch wide. If you're planning on sticking to paved bike paths and streets, then this could be the bike for you.
Hybrid bike: This is a bike designed for use on roads and bike paths. It is influenced from both the road bike and the mountain bike, hence the name "hybrid." The bike aims to retain the features of mountain bikes, which have made them accessible and popular, but are designed to be more suitable for urban use. Ultimately the manufacturer determines if the hybrid leans more to the mountain- or road-bike side.
Track racing bike: This bike is for serious racing. It's extremely lightweight and has no brakes, since brakes would add extra weight. It also has one fixed gear, so the rider can go as fast as possible. The handlebars are low, enabling the rider to lean down and increase his speed. If you are planning on racing, this is the kind of bike you should look at.
Street bike (aka city bike or granny bike): These bikes are made more for casually strolling the streets and/or commuting than for serious riding. The tires are like those you would find on a road bike, but the bike itself is more elongated than your average bike. The city bike is very popular in urban areas right now, but they're especially popular in Holland.
POPSUGAR Fitness's tips: I definitely recommend going to a trusty bike shop and riding a bunch of bikes to see what feels best to you. Also be sure to pick up a helmet when you buy that shiny new bike — you've got to protect that fabulous brain of yours.

Bum Phillips Dies at Age of 90
ABC Digital
National Sports
Updated at
(HOUSTON) — Legendary Houston Oilers coach Bum Phillips passed away on Friday at his ranch in Goliad. He was 90.
Phillips was a Texas original in his blue jeans, boots and trademark white Stetson and also coached the New Orleans Saints.
"Bum is gone to Heaven-loved and will be missed by all -great Dad,Coach, and Christian," his son and current Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips tweeted on Friday.
Phillips came to Houston in 1975 and led them to two AFC Championship games before he was fired in 1980.
"I feel the same way about Houston as Houston feels about me, it's just something with this town," Phillips said in an interview in 2010 with KTRK in Houston.
"People always talked about teams becoming families," Legendary Oilers quarterback Dan Pastorini said. "Bum actually turned us into a family."
Phillips was 27-42 with the Saints before retiring in 1985.
