PCLinuxOS 2007, USR5411 MaxG Wireless Primer
So you've just installed PCLinuxOS 2007 TR4 on your laptop and your wireless card is detected! Finally, a distro gets it right! However, you're not too sure how to proceed next...do you manage the device through the PCLinuxOS Control Center? Do you start another program and work that way? Do you use KDE's built in applet to monitor things? What's next?
This is something that is often expressed in the forums at pclinuxos.com and something anyone associated with this fine distribution is glad to see...that is working wireless. However, as noted above, people often wonder how to control their wireless device and how to move in and out of various different environments. I'd like to share how I do wireless on my Thinkpad a22m.
I have a US Robotics 5411 MaxG PCMCIA card for my laptop. PCLinuxOS 2007 detects it out of the box but doesn't install it by default. The reason for this is that PCLinuxOS doesn't assume to know how you want to install it...either using the built into the kernel support for the broadcom wireless chip or ndiswrapper...which is a program that allows Windows drivers for wireless to be used in Linux.

This June I (against all odds) received my Regents Diploma from Rye High School and my father being the good man he is decided this deserved a trip. We had originally planned on Hong Kong but my mom worried too much about SARS and when we booked in June it was still around so we went with Tokyo.
American Airlines Flight 167
JFK-AA), Japan">NRT
Sched Depart: 11:30 AM
Sched Board: 10:45 AM
I was quite excited about this trip as it was going to be my first to Asia and my dad is a fun guy to travel with, as he is quite interested in air travel as long as he doesn't have to fly coach. We left our house at 8:15 and thanks to the lack of traffic on any road including the Van Wyck (someone upstairs must like me) we were parked in front of Terminal 8 by 9 AM. I was quite happy to see some Airtrains running, maybe it'll actually be in service at some point and all JFK travelers can breath a little easier. We walked into the terminal past the deserted baggage claims and up into the Terminal 8 ticketing lobby where we took a left and entered the Admirals Club. Once there my dad checked us in and handed over two VIP03s which are system wide upgrades good for one class on any American flight. The woman was confused as we were booked in C class which is Business via a Mileage or VIP03 upgrade and I explained to her we were originally in V class and the full fare Business fare code was J. After that I had some coffee, OJ and bagels and watched the men work on the new terminal, god I can't wait too much longer guys we have to have that thing up! At 10:30 we walked down to security and entered the premium line. The wait was a little here as the Globe Ground Security woman was checking every boarding pass as if looking for a forger but after two minutes we were at the X-ray machine. Once there a man had haphazardly thrown all his cash into a bin and it had broken the rubber band and twenties were lying everywhere, he was being secondarily screened and the box left unattended, a dishonest man could be rich. Terminal 8 for those of you who are lucky enough not to know is a dump, the wait at the end of the pier in a crowded, low ceiling, un-windowed room was not the best. My father and I bet if we'd be randomly searched, we boarded first and were not so I won a dollar.

Actual Depart: 11:31 AM
Actual Board: 10:50 AM
Take Off: 21 Minutes After Leaving Gate
Flight Time: 13 Hours 19 Minutes at FL390
Once onboard we drank pre-departure orange juices in elegant albeit plastic looking cups. After the door closed a few minutes before 11:30 I counted heads in the cabin and came up with thirteen out of forty-two. I felt two ways about this, it was nice to have an empty cabin so we'd get more personal service and all but I'd rather see AA with more passengers. As we were taxing they made an announcement saying new TSA regulations say all passengers must remain in their designated cabins, so much for walking the plane. After take off the engine made a funny noise and one F/a looked out Row 9's window and saw nothing so we continued over Upstate New York just under SYR on a route which took us over Ontario, the Canadian Rockies, Yellowknife, FAI, the Aleutian Islands and down into Narita. After becoming airborne we received Bose Noise Canceling Headsets, which are just phenomenal, I was seated right next to the engine and with them on I literally couldn't hear it or my dad talking next to me, great stuff! Soon we received the Menus, which I will transcribe to you in all its shining glory minus the wines because I don't drink that stuff.
To Start:
An assortment of warm roasted Nuts to accompany your preferred Cocktail or Beverage.
Teriyaki Beef with Snow Peas, Red Peppers and Bean Sprouts.
Fresh seasonal Greens served with a Peppered Romano Cheese Dressing or an Individual bottle of Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar Dressing.
Filet of Beef
A tender cut of Beef seasoned with fresh Sage, complimented by a Port Wine Demi-Glace, accompanied by Broccoli with Basil Butter and pan-roasted Potato wedges with Paprika
Seafood Risotto
Grilled Shrimp and Scallops served with a roasted Tomato Risotto and a creamy Goat Cheese Sauce
Lemon Thyme Chicken
Breast of Chicken seasoned with Lemon and Thyme accompanied by Mashed Red Potatoes and roasted Asparagus.
There was also a Japanese menu, which didn't appeal to me, and I will not transcribe it here to keep this TR not too long but if you are interested email me and I'll give you the transcript. The warm nuts were a great way to start things off with the full can of Diet Coke, the can was Japanese with "Summer 2003, Shop No Reason!" written on the top rim. After that I had the teriyaki beef, which there wasn't enough of, the bean sprouts with it were tasty as well but I don't like peas or tomatoes so those were ignored. The salad was quite nice and had just lettuce and carrots, which was fine with me because it meant I didn't have to pick anything out; I had the Peppered Romano Cheese dressing with it. After this I had the seafood dish, which was, the first time I'd ever ordered a seafood entrée on an airplane, I just don't trust coach seafood. It came with two pieces of scallop and two un-peeled shrimp. The meal was quite tasty with the Risotto the food was served on being a new taste to me but one I quite enjoyed. My father had the chicken and called it "good", great conversationalist that man. The meal was offered with rolls, either sour dough or one described as "cheese bits" to me, it tasted fine but nothing like cheese! After this we had the dessert choice of:
Seasonal Fresh Fruit Medley
Toffee Crunch Cheesecake
I had the cheesecake, which was the same as the one I had in First from St. Louis to LGA last month, it was still good! After the meal I put the seat back and pulled out my PTV and watched X2 (X Men 2), which was quite good followed by Die Another Day, the latest James Bond movie. The movie was typical late Bond, no plot, senseless action ad corny lines, just perfect for a long 777 trip! The noise canceling headsets worked great with both the movies and with my CD player later on. Between the two movies I went back to the galley for a bowl of steamed rice and they invited me to get some snacks from the Snack Attack (registered trademark ) cart. It had some Ruffles Chips, chocolate chip cookies, M&M's and the standard Toblerones on it. I only have those triangular chocolates on airplanes. After a bit I had a little sleep and I decided it would be nice if the 777's Business Class seats reclined just about five inches more, the 767-300 seats have the perfect recline this was just barely lacking. When I woke up they were serving the mid flight snack which my father who had been sleeping for over five hours woke up for.
Afternoon Refreshment
Fresh Fruit, Cheese and Tea Snacks
Japanese Soba Noodles
The both of us had the noodles which came with a cup of soy sauce and my third Diet Coke. The noodles were good but I definitely preferred the white ones to the green ones. I spent the next few hours walking about the Business Class cabin which was mostly asleep and going through the American Way, a pitiful zero out of ten on the Mensa quiz and watching the Airmap on the PTV which is the best feature of it. I love the little towns it points out along the way. The seat was very easy to control and the tray table was moveable into a lot of positions with little effort. It was hard to reach the seat in front of me though but you won't hear me complain about that. The flight crew were just excellent, in the cabin every ten minutes offering anything and always smiling, they had first called me Mr. Kunz but I asked them to call me Charles and they didn't forget that request. When I went near the galley they'd get up and offer me something and seemed genuinely happy to be able to serve me. Soon they had another chance once we reached an hour out and they started the last service.
It says on the menu "Offered Prior to Arrival" well no shitake mushrooms (A Japanese Treat) that applies to all meals!
Pineapple Chicken with Asian Slaw
Chicken Breast in a Pineapple Soy Marinade, offered with julienned Asian Slaw, enhanced by a Rice Wine Vinaigrette.
Spinach Salad with Smoked Trout
Fresh Spinach and Frisee Salad with roasted Eggplant and Capers, served with Champagne Vinaigrette and a Filet of smoked Trout.
Zuppa Inglese
A light Sponge Cake topped with Whipped Cream.
The chicken was cold but still good for a last meal of the flight; I was unable to detect even a hint of pineapple though. The Asian slaw was another new taste to me but one I enjoyed as much as normal cole slaw. The sponge cake was lacking any whipped cream but it was still good, similar to one's I've had on European airlines in coach. After my sixth Diet Coke of the flight I returned the headphones, it turns out you can't pay $2 and keep these ones unfortunately as I would have loved to. Soon we broke through the clouds over rainy Japan and two golf courses later touched down in a place that I'd swear had more red tails then all the New York airports (HPN included) combined on any given day.
Land Time: 15 Minutes before Arrival
Sched Arrival: 2:40 PM
Act Arrival: 2:00 PM
Gate 18
August 8, Tokyo Japan:
We walked about a half mile to immigration where we waited on a line of over three hundred people which took forty-one minutes before we made it into the baggage area where we went through nothing to declare, my dad didn't think my idea of going to the Goods to Declare line and saying "A Loser Father" was a good idea. We bought tickets on the bus to our hotel, which was supposed to be an hour and a half ride. Two and a half hours and two jammed Expressways later we got to the Imperial Hotel, which I highly recommend. The hotel has a staff of fifteen hundred all extremely helpful and polite. Dinner was at a Japanese place where you pointed at the raw food you wanted and it was cooked over an open flame before you while the staff shouted "HUI!" at regular intervals.
August 9, Tokyo Japan:
We had wanted to see the Fish Market but it was a rainy morning so at nine we traveled to the Meiji Shrine which if I ever am offered a shrine, it's going to look like this thing. Its hard to believe that in a city of over 15 Million people there is still a large green area where there are buildings from eighty years ago offering a prayer to be made for you for 500 Yen. After a $330 sushi lunch we headed to the Tokyo Dome and watched the Giants beat the Swallows three to two. The game was bizarre as the Japanese feels its wrong to make another feel embarrassed and swing at every pitch to make the pitcher not feel ashamed for walking them.
August 10, Tokyo Japan:
Today was actually sunny and hot so we walked two miles to the Imperial Gardens and saw that. I assumed it would be like the Versailles Gardens of France but it was quite different with lots of trees and high walls of stone. After a quick lunch at the hotel we took the train to the airport, for slightly more then the bus ($33) we got a trip on a very comfortable train through interesting surroundings that took fifty-seven minutes.
American Airlines Flight 168
AA), Japan">NRT-JFK
Sched Depart: 5:55 PM
Sched Board: 5:10 PM
Once at the airport we climbed five escalators to reach the check-in lobby where you have to have your bags x-rayed (including carry ons) to just get to the desks. After attaining our boarding passes we went through the checkpoint and even though I had nothing different in my pockets and remarkably similar clothes, I set off the metal detector. Instead of giving me a full service wand, they asked me to empty my pockets completely and take off my belt, I was then sent back through the machine and when it didn't beep, they only searched my notebook and checked my belt instead of a wanding, I like their idea a lot more! After customs we entered the extremely well stocked Admirals Club. They were offering Oreos, pretzels, crackers, cheese and snickers bars and even frosted glasses for your beer. The club had no departure monitors though; they made announcements in lieu of the machines. After we had settled in and I watched a variety of Asian 777s and 747s come and go including my first JAL and NWA new paint schemes and the lone airbus belonging to a CX, I set off with our remaining 4300 YEN on a walk of Terminal 1. After careful study Narita airport is perfect if you have club access or very little time at the gate but if not it's towards the bottom of the places to stay list. There aren't too many shops and restaurants and the ones they have all sell the same thing for jacked up prices and are teaming with people. I bought a tie and some Internet access and changed the rest of the money back into Greenbacks. After seeing every inch of the terminal (minus the restrooms and UAL clubs) I collected my father and after a few pre-boards we set foot on:

Actual Depart: 5:47 PM

Take Off: 10 Minutes After Leaving Gate
Flight Time: 12 Hours 15 Minutes at FL390
Once onboard I felt quite alone as my father conked out after he had finished his pre-departure drink, the feeling was shattered as he began to snore rather loudly, thankfully none of the cabin's other twenty passengers (22/42 load) noticed. Once airborne the headsets and menus were distributed, like last time I went straight for my CD player, put in an Aerosmith CD and let the headphones block out the rest. Then I went for the food.
To Start:
An assortment of warm roasted Nuts to accompany your preferred Cocktail or Beverage.
A selection of sushi
Fresh seasonal Salad Greens served with a Tomato, Caper and Olive Oil Dressing or an Individual bottle of Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar Dressing.
Filet Mignon
Tenderloin of Beef complemented by a light Onion Demi-Glace, accompanied by oven-roasted Vegetables and Potato wedges with Thyme
Grilled Chicken
Grilled Chicken accented by a Demi-Glace, presented with Chive Mashed Potatoes, a fresh Tomato and crispy Bacon.
Grilled Shrimp
Grilled Shrimp and Creole Couscous featured with sautéed Yellow and Red Bell Peppers, Zucchini and a Scallion and Apple Coulis.
The nuts were perfect with the Diet Coke, which had a Six Flags Over Texas add on it. The sushi turned out to be a piece of salmon, one of egg and two un-identified seaweed wrapped with brown in the middle. The salad wasn't as good as the one on the last flight as I didn't like the peppers or mushroom sprouts in it and the dressing, the Vinegar wasn't my favorite either. The steak on the other hand was juicy and tender with even a little red in the middle. The potatoes were good too and the extra juice was well soaked up by my white bread roll. I was offered wine with dinner, I must look a lot older then my fragile age of seventeen but I'm against underage drinking and I don't want to by hypocritical now so I asked for double water. After that was cleared away the linen was left on my table for the dessert, which was.
Seasonal Fresh Fruit Medley
Chocolate Raspberry Cake
I had the cake, which tasted great and actually came with whipped cream and a raspberry, good presentation makes for good food! After the meal I watched Anger Management, which even though I was told it was terrible, I had a good time watching it, Guliani was featured prominently in it which only added to its charm. I was quite tired after the four miles I had walked so I had my seat back and I listened to the in-flight radio's 33 1/3 channel, which had some good classic rock. The only bad side of this flight was that the Airmap was broken so I contented myself by first watching the moon move across the sky and then the stars darken and the sky begin to turn from ebony to dark blue to a lighter blue when the next thing I knew it was two hours later and the next meal was being served, my sub-conscious is as hungry as I am!
Midnight Snack
Sliced Beast of Chicken and Celery Salad on buttered French Bread, served with Seasonal Fruit
Japanese Soba Noodles
Having previously had the noodles I optioned for what I thought was going to be a sizeable sandwich, it turned out to be the size of a decent sized cookie but it was quite tasty. The honeydew melon in the fruit medley was really tasty there were also these large purple grapes that were just bizarre and had large pits inside them. The flight passed a bit more slowly without the Airmap but I read Celebrated Living and checked to see which of the World's top Hotels I'd be to (five) and then some of my book The Hunt For Osama, if you like books about war this is an excellent one as it focuses on the Special Forces in Afghanistan. My dad watched About Schmidt on his personal DVD player that he totes around with him when he travels and said it was excellent, from what I oversaw it looked good. I watched some CBS Eye on American and Sponge Bob on the Nickelodeon and was laughed at by my dad. Just give it a chance dad it's a good show! I began to very slowly raise the window shade so the sun wouldn't annoy other passengers or blind me and soon the flight attendants who were once again exemplary on this flight and called me Charles after I asked them to came around with breakfast at 3:45 PM Eastern Daylight Time, but its always a good time for breakfast!
Once again it's offered prior to arrival, why not be a little more ambiguous American?
Cheese Omelette
Canadian Bacon, Potato Wedges, Fresh Seasonal Fruit.
Fresh Seasonal Fruit.
Both options came with French Rolls, Croissants or Cinnamon Rolls. I had both a Croissant and a Cinnamon Roll, which were very tasty and hot and flaky. The only problem is the advertised preserves were just a package of Marmalade, which is bizarre, and not what I want on my rolls. The rest of the food was good as well and although I usually don't like airplane breakfasts the only complaint I can make is that the kiwi is not desired in my fresh seasonal fruit platter! Soon we had filled out our landing card and people began to all awaken as we flew over Newark Airport, I could see where I parked my car last time when I got my friend Josh at the airport last month. After three left turns in a holding pattern just off Rockaway we landed right in front of a BA 744 and taxied around Terminals four, three, two and one (Blast Off!) in that order before reaching our gate and my trip was over.
Land Time: 20 Minutes before Arrival
Sched Arrival: 5:35 PM
Act Arrival: 5:38 PM
Gate 10A
There was no line at immigration and we fast walked by all the passengers and were at our car at 5:55, now that was a great way to be welcomed home!
These flights were examples of how great I find the service to be at American and I hope others can experience such excellent people on such an excellent airplane and airline.
Tokyo is now my third favorite city in the world (behind New York and London) and I had an excellent time in Japan. Please comment, I like them!

High Bill Concerns
If you have a bill which is significantly higher than you had expected, please contact our customer service center by calling (616) 846-6250. In response to high bill concerns, the Board of Light & Power will send a service worker to verify the original meter reading. Upon request, we will also send a member of our technical services staff to the residence to meet with you for an energy review and audit.
What is a Degree Day?
Degree day – Cold winter weather or sweltering summer heat can increase the cost of your utility bills. You are able to determine the weather impact by using a unit of measure called a Degree Day. A higher number of degree days will require more energy for cooling or heating your home or business.
2 types of degree days – Cooling and heating. Each compares the current day's average temperature to a baseline standard of 65ºF to determine the energy demands of cooling or heating your home or business. Days with an average temperature of 65ºF have no cooling or heating degree days.
Hot days are measured in cooling degree days. On a day with a mean temperature of 80°F, 15 cooling degree days would be recorded (80-65=15).
Cold days are measured in heating degree days. For a day with a mean temperature of 40°F, 25 heating degree days would be recorded (65-40=25).
Adding the cooling or heating degree days together for a whole month (or year), provides a way to compare a previous month's (or previous year's) cooling demands to that of the current month (or current year).
How weather impacted my 2016 summer electric bill – On July 1, 2016, the GHBLP decreased energy rates to its customers; however, the cooling degree days in June through September were approximately 33% above normal and 45% above those in 2015 (as recorded by the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids). Because air conditioning units demand more electricity than any other household appliance, these weather differences help to explain why electric bills were up 12.1% on average even with a 10.2% reduction in electric rates.


text: ntt68 Report post Posted January 23 Most of the time children older than 12 yrs are considered as an aldult. But Hotwire doesn't offer the possibility to specify the age of the child that's why I'm a bit confused. I would like to book a hotel in Dubai 5* Airport-Deirah Area (I guess that's the Avani Deira) for 2 adults +1 child (15 years). My son is older than 12 years, will the hotels booked through HOTWIRE always honored the rates ? Please advise Share this post Link to post

As you know from the news, on April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, killing 11 people. Ever since then, 200,000 gallons of oil per day have been pouring out of the well that the rig was drilling. We previously blogged that along with the obvious problems the oil spill is causing in destruction of wildlife, according to recent air monitoring data published by the EPA, Hydrogen Sulfide has been measured as high as 1107 ppb over a one hour average. That is well above the human odor threshold.
According to CNN, executives from BP, Transocean and Halliburton have been meeting with the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee and have been essentially blaming each other for the spill. CNNMoney has also reported BP had told the committee privately that the well failed a key pressure test just hours before it exploded on April 20, but operations were not suspended.
We currently represent Gulf Coast fishermen, shrimpers, oystermen, wholesalers and processors and are monitoring this situation closely. find out if The Simon Law Firm can help with an environmental litigation case, contact environmental lawyer Todd Hageman.

Invented in 1927 by John Hammes in Racine, Wisconin, the garbage disposal (usually marketed as a "food disposer)" was patented in 1935. Products from his InSinkErator company began selling them to the public in 1940, and almost from the beginning, there was controversy over their use. Many cities in the 1930s and 1940s began prohibiting garbage disposals because the flushing of food into sewer systems challenged the ability of waste-treatment facilities to handle the waste.
(Or so the cities argued.) Periodically, these bans have been enacted, then rescinded ever since then. Companies manufacturing the appliances have been quite successful at fighting such ordinances.
Today, roughly 50% of all American home are equipped with garbage disposals, a much higher percentage than any other developed country. Canada, for example, has only 3% of homes with garbage disposals.
Almost from the beginning, people have tried to use garbage disposals as a liquid garbage can to get rid of all manner of materials not suited for this method. Although most people now do know that the machine is for food items only, it might surprise you to know that there is quite a list of food items that should NOT be flushed down the drain through your garbage disposer:
- Rice and pasta. No matter how much water you run or how long you run the appliance, you can never break down rice or pasta small enough to effectively go down the drain. Both items swell when they are in contact with water, so the small pieces will eventually gather in the trap and swell until it clogs.
- Animal bones. The garbage disposal is just not strong enough to break bones down into small enough pieces to fit through the drain. Animal bones are the most common item that jams disposals.
- Grease. The grease will eventually solidify and clog a portion, or all, of your drain.
- Egg shells. Despite what you may have heard, egg shells do not sharpen disposal blades. Mostly they just end up clogging the line.
- Stringy or tough-peeled vegetable. This includes asparagus, lettuce, celery and potato peels. Very small quantities might be handled, but do not try to flush large quantities through your garbage disposal, as you are inviting trouble.
The old adage of "less is more" definitely applies to the garbage disposal. Only small amounts of table scraps should go into the disposal. If you find that something from the above list has jammed your disposal it's a relatively easy process to unjam it.
The Case Against Installing a Garbage Disposal
If your house is serviced by a septic system, having a garbage disposal on your ktichen sink is a very bad idea. Food scraps flushed into a septic drain field will unbalance the chemistry of how waste breaks down in the septic tank under bacterial action. While some manufacturers claim to offer garbage disposals suitable for septic systems (they supposedly spray enzymes that help break down food), this is a questionable claim, at best.
The best rule of thumb: septic system = NO garbage disposal.
Even if you are serviced by municipal sewer service, you might want to think twice about installing a garbage disposal, and might even want to think about removing an existing one.
Despite protests by the appliance manufacturers, it's not easy for municipal sewer processing plants to handle huge quantities of food material flushed down drains. An increasing number of communities are now offering organic waste recycling programs with weekly pickup. And if you are a gardener, most non-animal food materials can be easily composted into a great plant food.
More and more, environmentally conscious homeowners are choosing to remove their garbage disposals or let them sit idle.

EWING TOWNSHIP — All a young Ocean City High School field hockey team needed to do was believe in itself.
The Red Raiders — who returned just three starters — won the state Group III championship with a 2-0 win over Warren Hills at the College of New Jersey on Sunday afternoon.
Sophomore Lauren McNally and freshman Jordan Allegretto scored for Ocean City.
The win gave the Red Raiders (21-1), No. 3 in The Press Elite 11 rankings, their eighth field hockey state championship but their first since 2009 and their first under coach Cory Terry.
"It all came down to these girls believing in themselves," Terry said. "They improved every single time they stepped on the field. At the end of the season, they realized they could do this."
Ocean City controlled possession behind the stick handling of senior Jacquie Fenton for most of Sunday's game.
Warren Hills' best chance to score came two minutes into the game when Ocean City — perhaps because of its youth —appeared jittery.
Niki Miller and Sydney Muntone had back-to-back chances in front of the Ocean City cage, but Red Raiders goalie Katie Johnson stopped them both.
Ocean City then settled down and had the better of the play. The Red Raiders had 14 corners to just three for Warren Hills (22-3).
But the score remained 0-0 for nearly 45 minutes of the 60-minute contest.
McNally finally broke the tie with 15 minutes, 53 seconds left in the game.
McNally showed why her teammates nicknamed her shot "the bullet." She received a pass on a corner from Casey Hanna. McNally slapped the ball at Warren Hills goalie Katie Wintersteen, who made a pad save.
"It wasn't my strongest hit," McNally said." But I have to give (the goalie) credit."
The ball bounced off the goalie's pads and right back to McNally.
"I saw that ball bouncing back at me," she said. "We all wanted it so much. I just tried to get it in the goal."
McNally blasted the ball from seven yards out into the cage to give the Red Raiders a 1-0 lead.
"I just put my head down and hit it as hard as I could," she said.
Ocean City's second goal came with 9:37 left. Allegretto scored from 4 yards in front of the cage off a cross pass from April Stein, who had weaved her way through a couple of Warren Hills defenders.
O.C. then waited for the final minutes to tick off the clock. Warren Hills never had a serious scoring chance in the final minutes.
The Red Raiders rushed the field when the game ended. They posed for a picture with the championship trophy.
"That's the picture we've been waiting to take," an Ocean City fan shouted.
Few local programs in any sport are more successful than the Ocean City field hockey team. Former coach Trish LeFever built the Red Raiders into a power by winning seven state titles between 1997-2009. The success builds on itself as players are exposed to the winning tradition. Fenton served as a freshman ball girl when Ocean City won its last state title with a 2-1 overtime win over Warren Hills in 2009.
"This means everything and more," Fenton said of Sunday's win. "My teammates are like my sisters, so winning this is like wining it with my family."
Terry is a big part of Ocean City's winning tradition. She became the head coach after LeFever retired in 2010. Terry — then Cory Picketts — played for Ocean City teams that won state titles in 1997, 1998 and 1999.
Terry saw these Red Raiders gain confidence as the season wore on. They did not allow a goal to a Cape-Atlantic Lea-gue team all season.
Terry compared herself to a proud parent watching the Red Raiders play Sunday.
She wanted them to experience what she had as a player and know what it feels like to be a state champion.
Now the Red Raiders do.

Greetings Muggles!
This is what I wore to watch the midnight showing of Harry Potter last Thursday. I intended to buy a Deathly Hallows t-shirt from Hot Topic and tie it the same way before getting into line, but I should've known better to wait until the last minute since they were sold out of the good ones so I settled with a Quidditch key chain instead. At least my nails were festive. Robert teased me for having ketchup and mustard nails, but I didn't care and later felt better when the girls next to us in line saw my nails and decided to paint their own nails scarlet and gold too.
It was raining earlier that morning which explains the tights, but strangely it became really hot later that afternoon. It was pretty uncomfortable sitting in the sun with tights on; but once the sun set and it became chilly, I was glad I decided to wear them. This was my first midnight premiere ever so Robert and I were a little ill-prepared. Luckily, this mall has all my favorite stores: UO, F21, H&M, Target, and Barnes and Nobles; so we made our way to Target for snacks and patio chairs, and Barnes and Nobles for drinks, games, and books. Monopoly Deal is such a good game that I recently learned. With these, Harry Potter audio books on my iPod, and Harry Potter movies on Robert's Macbook, we were set. We started lining up after lunch and ended up getting a really good seat in the theater. The movie was so good. So so so good. I'm so sad that there are no more movies to look forward to, but I'll never truly say goodbye to Harry Potter. Rereading the series and having a HP movie marathon is always an annual tradition that I foresee continuing forever. I can't wait to get the trunk set of DVDs. I have been holding off buying any of the movies so I can get them all as a set. Robert already knows that this is what I want for my birthday, Christmas, or our next anniversary depending on when it comes out.
Until next post,

Hypothesis is a tentative interpretation/explanation of observations. A good hypothsis can be either confirmed or refuted by further observations, such as by controlled experiments and procedures.
Law is a brief statement that is a summary of previous observations, and prediction of future ones. For example, there are Laws of conservation of mass, which states that "matter can be neither created nor destroyed." Laws are indisputable oversvations.
Theory is a model for the way nature is and attempts to explain why nature is the way it is. Theories are validated by experiments, and as long has to there is no evidence to dispute it a theory remains valid. A theory is essentially a summary of hypotheis that have repeated been valid.

"What a great pale ale. When so many pale ales are mini-IPAs this one really fits the bill. A good whiff of tropical fruit hops on the nose. Decent hop flavour backed up by a solid, but not overwhelming, malt and caramel backbone. This beer is all about balance. Enough hop to let you know you are drinking an APA (not an IPA), but balanced with a whack of malt, including some tasty residual sweetness. Passionfruit, citrus and tropical fruit flavours et al in abundance but still in control. My new favourit APA (apologies to Epic)"

Lotus And Spectacle Will Be Taking Over NYC Thanksgiving Weekend
Jam/electronic fivesome, Lotus will be taking over New York City's Playstation Theater this Friday, Nov 25 and Saturday, Nov 26. If you keep up with The Musies you know we've been craving a Lotus dance party since they rocked the Mann Center in late September. And we're positive New York is in for a weekend of endless grooves because the boys will be supported by extra funky Denver trio, Spectacle.
Since Spectacle's formation just under a year ago they've accumulated a large (and rapidly growing) fanbase throughout Colorado. They've managed to create quite a buzz surrounding their one of a kind, gripping performances and a soundscape that spans from classical to jazz with a tropical twist. Spectacle shows consistently bring something fresh and exciting for the crowd because they're always looking to experiment with their sound. Which is why this pairing couldn't be more perfect.
We've linked Spectacles latest release, "LUCI EP" below and we highly recommend you start keeping up with these up-and-comers!
Tickets are moving fast so you do not want to wait to grab yours! You can snag discounted tickets on Spectacle's website here. Single day tickets are also available for those that can't commit to back to back nights of movin' and groovin'.

Detailed Description:
Atherosclerosis is a disease in which the blood vessels become blocked by plaques (consisting of fat, calcification, and fibrous tissue), reducing blood flow to vital organs and tissues.Blockage of the carotid arteries in the neck is a major cause of stroke. One way of treating carotid atherosclerosis is with cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins. Statins have been shown to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by 24-40% and risk pf stroke by 11-30%.The purpose of this study is to determine if short term treatment with atorvastatin causes early favorable changes in the plaques that block blood flow through the carotid arteries. These changes can be assessed 1) by taking pictures of the carotid arteries with MRI and Ultrasound before and after statin treatment, and 2) by special studies of the plaques removed from the carotid arteries by surgery.
|Drug: Atorvastatin

Further study details as provided by Baylor College of Medicine:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Changes in carotid plaque composition as assessed by MRI and histology [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Changes content of cells, proteins and genes in carotid plaque [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
- Changes in content of selected proteins and their encoding genes in carotid plaques [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|February 2006
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|February 2010
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|November 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
An untreated carotid plaque will be obtained at the first endarterectomy. Atorvastatin 80mg will be administered for 3 months. The contralateral (treated) plaque will be obtained at the second endarterectomy. Hence, each patient will be his/her own control
Drug: Atorvastatin
Atorvastatin 80 mg tablet/day for 3 months
Detailed Description:
Candidates for bilateral carotid endarterectomy (CEA) who meet study criteria will provide informed consent before their randomization. Before the first CEA, the patient will have MRI, US, and EBCT exams of both carotids. The most occlusive plaque will be resected at the first CEA. The patient will then receive atorvastatin 80 mg/day for 3 months. Then the second CEA will be performed. Six weeks after the second CEA, the patient will have another MRI, US, and EBCT exam and at 6, 12, and 18 months thereafter. This protocol will allow comparison of the characteristics of the plaque that has been exposed to drug vs the plaque that has not been exposed. It will also allow monitoring the effect of drug on restenosis after surgery.

Last week's assignment was to identify unconscious eating, one of the main causes of weight gain or weight plateaus. Click here to review last week's topic.
This week we continue to set a strong foundation for achieving weight management for a lifetime by identifying hidden, empty calories in our current eating habits.
As we learned last week, to lose weight, one must take in fewer calories than one uses. However, we still need the same amount of nutrients. Therefore, it is important to make every calorie count.
You may have heard of the term nutrient dense. Nutrient dense is the opposite of empty calories. Nutrient dense means there is an abundance of nutrients per calories in a particular food. The most nutrient dense food groups include the fruit and vegetable groups. They both offer lots of vitamins and minerals with a very small calorie count.
This weeks assignment involves identifying empty calories in your daily diet:
1. Continue to keep your food log, along with the hunger/full rating (Click here to review directions on keeping a food log)
2. Pay close attention to your food choices.
|Regular Soda
|Sugary Drinks
|Ice Cream
|French Fries
|Frozen Yogurt
|Sugary Cereals
* White bread, white pasta, white rice and pretzels are not "bad" for you (they are all low in saturated fat). However, they also offer substantially less nutrients than if you chose the whole grain equivalent, whole wheat bread, whole-wheat pasta, brown rice and whole grain crackers. To know whether a product is truly whole-grain, visit http://wholegrainscouncil.org/
3. Once you have a weeks worth of "data" (food log), review the log and circle all the foods that would be considered empty calories. Think about an alternative nutrient dense food you could choose next time in place of the empty calories. For example, I used to be a pretzel fanatic; scarfing down bags of pretzels until I realized I was consuming a lot of calories but not getting much nutrients from them. I've replaced my bags of pretzels with a handful of whole grain crackers and a string cheese. Not only am I getting more nutrients, including fiber and calcium, but the snack is much more satisfying because of the protein.
I would love to hear how WOW members switch out their empty calories with nutrient dense foods. Please share in the comment section below. Thanks!
Make it a healthy week!
It's our turn.

Yeah, but that's in Britain. They're on the metric system, so that's probably in decibels per centiliter, which is like, hardly ANYTHING.
Plus, no matter where they go in Britain, they're still IN BRITAIN, AND they're on the wrong side of the road!
And we all know how much THAT sucks. Just like gun control and warm beer.
I wanna see these stories in American, gas fueled, turbo injected blown hemi miles!

Yeah, the imperial gallon is larger so that works out to about 65 mpg US.

MILWAUKEE — Top prospect Javier Baez and the Cubs mutually agreed Thursday that he won't play for Mesa in the Arizona Fall League because of fatigue.
"When he got (home), he was emotionally drained after a long season and the playoffs, and physically drained," general manager Jed Hoyer said of Baez, 20, who hit 37 home runs and 111 RBIs in 130 games at Class A Daytona and Double-A Tennessee. "After talking with us, we thought the right thing to do was let him work out in Arizona, let him take some time off and hit and work on some things.

PAUL Gascoigne has been charged with harassing his ex-girlfriend with a flurry of abusive tweets.
The former England ace is also accused of bombarding Amanda Thomas (44) with texts and phone calls over a 13-day period.
Gazza had a relationship with the mum-of-two after meeting her in a post office.
She was reported to be helping the troubled footie legend to try and beat his booze demons.
But after they broke up Gazza is alleged to have targeted her with messages and calls.
Gascoigne (48) has also been charged with harassing photographer Andy Stone in a similar manner during the same time period.
He is not thought to have attended Bournemouth Magistrates' Court in England for a five-minute hearing on September 29, when his case was adjourned to October 29.
Gazza, who lives in Poole, Dorset, is expected to attend that hearing at the same court to enter a plea.
The first charge alleges that between March 9 and March 22 this year he "pursued a course of conduct which amounted to the harassment of Amanda Thomas".
It adds that he "knew or ought to have known [it] amounted to the harassment of her in that you sent abusive tweets via Twitter, telephone calls and text messages".
He is also accused of a similar offence against Mr Stone (49), of Southampton, between March 19 and March 22.
The alleged offences are contrary to the UK Protection from Harassment Act 1997.

A review of Tiago Rodrigues' moving "By Heart" — created as a tribute to his grandmother — at On the Boards.
Anyone who has endeavored to memorize a poem, for school or a performance or just for pleasure, can empathize with the 10 people trying to commit a sonnet to memory in the quietly transformative piece "By Heart."
Each night at On the Boards, in a run that ends Sunday, creator-performer Tiago Rodrigues casually invites audience volunteers to join him onstage. You will not be acting, the disarming head of Lisbon's Teatro Nacional D. Maria II assures them in his Portuguese-inflected English. "There won't be any thea-tah involved," he underscores, with a mock flourish.
Well, yes and no. It is a performance, but of a very intimate sort that requires and rewards a kind of meditative patience as Rodrigues drills his 10-member chorus in a line-by-line memorization of Shakespeare's Sonnet 30. It famously begins, "When to the sessions of sweet silent thought/I summon up remembrance of things past…"
'By Heart'
8 p.m. Jan. 14, 5 p.m. Jan. 15, On the Boards, 100 W. Roy St., Seattle; $23-$25 (ontheboards.org)
During these call-and-response drills, the people perched on chairs become familiar to us and we can easily empathize with their struggle to grasp and cling to challenging phrases of metered text. Just imagine having to articulate, exactly and repeatedly, before a room full of strangers, "And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe." Or "The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan."

An often frustrated yet encouraging teacher, the casually clad Rodrigues is a wry, unpretentious fellow, prone to cracking jokes mainly at his own expense. But he's a relentless choir leader, sometimes uncomfortably so. "We're going to be here all night," he threatens, when his "students" have trouble retrieving lines they've repeated a dozen times.
There's much more, though, to "By Heart" than these drill sessions. A passionate lover of books and words, and a thoughtful transmitter of poetry's power when implanted in our souls and psyches, Rodrigues explores how (in author Jorge Luis Borges' words) our "memory shapes its own Eden within."
Dipping into several crates of books at his feet, using them as texts and props, he threads "By Heart" with stories and quotations about the power of words held close, when everything else is stripped away. He speaks of the great Russian poet Osip Mandelstam, a victim of Stalinist persecution, whose wife saved his work from extinction by teaching by heart each of his poems to 10 people, who would then relate the poem to another 10, and so on.
He quotes from the humanist literary philosopher George Steiner, and recounts the plot of "Fahrenheit 451," Ray Bradbury's dystopian novel about an authoritarian, post-intellectual society in which books are hunted and burned by roaming bands of government firemen.
Most movingly, Rodrigues weaves in a story of his grandmother. She was an ardent, compulsive reader of literature and passed the obsession on her to actor grandson. In her waning years, while going blind, her thirst for words remained strong, and her family honored it.
As Thursday night's two-hour show wound down (a while after some restless patrons had taken their leave), the Shakespeare sonnet, an ode to memory, resurfaced from the collective memories of those onstage — and expressed a deepened meaning even for those who had simply been listening. We all carried that final recitation (in English and Portuguese) with us, into the chilly Seattle night.

Man whose ex-girlfriend is accused of trying to kill him claims he 'still loves her'
A CRITICALLY ill man whose former girlfriend has been arrested for trying to murder him claims he 'still loves her'.
Carrie Bevan and Danny Birchall in happier times
I still love her
Danny Birchall was left for dead in the street after he was hit by a black Citroen on Saturday evening.
He suffered three blood clots to the brain, one to his kidney, and fractures to a rib, his shoulder and his skull.
The 24-year-old is now fighting for his life in intensive care.
His ex-lover Carrie Bevan, 23, from Gloucester, was initially arrested on suspicion of assault, which was later changed to attempted murder.
She has now been bailed by officers, pending further inquiries, until September 22.
But Mr Birchall said: "I still love her, I love her to pieces. She is not an evil person.
"She is one of the best girls I've known ten years with, I still love and care for her."
Danny Birchall is in intensive care
Mr Birchall, also from Gloucester, was knocked down at around 7.40pm on Saturday August 15 and was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital before being transferred to Southmead Hospital, Bristol.
The driver of the car fled and the vehicle was later recovered almost three miles away from the collision scene.
Mr Birchall, a window cleaner, said he had been dating Bevan for 10 years before they broke up a month ago.
A spokesperson for Gloucestershire Constabulary, said: "A 24-year-old Gloucester man was found injured following a collision with a car. The driver of the car failed to stop.
"Paramedics were on the scene and the man was transported to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and later to Southmead Hospital in Bristol where his condition is currently stable.
"A 23-year-old woman from Gloucester has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder."

Below is a prayer that I believe was placed on my heart in 2010 and it has likely watered "seeds" that I have never seen. However, one seed that I have had the privilege of watching grow, unexpectedly led to the formation of Hope for Korah. When I returned home from my first visit to Korah, I could not let go of the devastating poverty I had witnessed, my heart was heavy and I asked God, "Why did I end up there? What should I DO?" At that time, I only heard one answer… "Pray and ask others to rise up and commit to praying this with you. I will give all of you direction, as you come together and pray." (Journal entry May 13, 2010)
This action item remained alone, at the top of my list for almost one year and until God brought me back to Korah. Since then many prayers and items have been added to my Korah 'TO DO' list, but most recently I have felt compelled to go back to this prayer as I believe it is the root and heart of all that God wants to do in Korah. I think this might be the

Firestorm over Obama's bow to Japanese emperor
The right-wing is at it again as their favourite commentators all denounce Obama's deep bow to Japan's Emperor Akihito as grovelling to "one of them there furriners". The rest of the media has seized upon this "storm in a tea cup" to ramble through musty protocol guides to find out. The verdict: not guilty, especially since there are photos of Bush and Nixon doing pretty much the same thing. Obama's real mistakes seem to have been shaking hands and bowing simultaneously – and in being much taller than the emperor so that he had to bend down to do his greeting anyway.
