Blinkfeed - always having to refresh twice
Has anyone else run into this glitch with Blinkfeed? If I scroll over there and pull down to refresh, it'll spin and say refreshing, but no new stories appear. If i pull down a second time, I get new stories. And this can be hours apart from the last refresh too, so new stories are available.
Not sure exactly when it started, but it's been going on for at least a week or two. I'm on Verizon with 4.2.2 stock.

Leah Remini: I 'Lost Friends' After Leaving Scientology
"We lost friends who can no longer talk to us who are still in the organization. These are friends that we've had for dozens of years," Remini, 43, told host Ellen DeGeneres on Monday. "But our family's stronger. We're together. We have other friends, who are not in the church, who have stood by us and that's all we can ask for."
As for the reason behind her recent departure, Remini remained vague, offering up something of a broken-record response — albeit, less revealing — that she's given in the past.
"My mother got involved when we were very young, so it's all we really knew," Remini said. "But over time, my eyes got opened and I could just no longer be affiliated with the organization, and my family felt the same, so we left."
Now it's on to new hopeful, glittery horizons for Remini: ABC's Dancing with the Stars, which kicks off with on Sept. 16.

This is what I like about Roth IRA. Contributions were made after taxes so there will be no taxes lest to pay. That and the security it offers because the money will still continue to grow tax-free.
The Roth IRA: What You Should Know
By KC Beavers with 2 Comments
You know that putting savings towards your future retirement is important, but deciding where to build your nest egg can be a bit daunting. But the Roth IRA has too many tax benefits to ignore. Confusing lingo and acronyms make it hard to choose an appropriate investing method, and trying to wade through the confusion is enough of a challenge to make you start stuffing your mattress with savings. But before you replace your bedding with wads of cash, you should consider checking into a Roth IRA.
What is a Roth IRA?
An IRA (Individual Retirement Account) is an investment plan that allows you to put away money for your eventual retirement. Tax breaks make this investing method attractive to many people, but it can still be a confusing concept. Of course, there are many different ways to invest in an IRA. Having a Roth IRA differentiates from a traditional IRA mostly by when the taxes are paid. Traditional IRA accounts allow tax-deductible contributions; however, when you begin to take money out of this IRA it is taxable at the then-current rate. And rates will most definitely change between now and then.
When you have a Roth IRA, you contribute after-tax dollars as you fund the account. Unlike a traditional IRA, when you take money from your Roth IRA it will generally not be taxed. What you really need to understand about any kind of IRA is that it is not a type of investment itself, but it is the place where you store investments for the future and can take advantage of the tax benefits.
What are the benefits of a Roth IRA?
There are quite a few benefits of having a Roth IRA as a part of your retirement savings plan. Since Roth IRA contributions are made after tax, you generally don't have to pay taxes on them in later years when you take money out of the accounts, in retirement. This allows you to sidestep higher taxes in the future if you anticipate that you will be taxed higher in retirement than you are now of if you continue to work after you retire. The ability to have tax-free growth really makes a Roth IRA shine. Also, a Roth IRA allows you to withdraw up to $10,000 and put it towards purchasing your first house without penalty.
Are there any limits or restrictions?
There are a few limits and restrictions that you should know about before opening a Roth IRA. First of all, any contributions made to your Roth IRA are not tax deductible like the contributions made to your 401(K) or traditional IRA. There is an income limit, which will exclude you from being able to have a Roth IRA if you make more than the specified amount in that tax year. Finally, there are potential penalties and taxes involved if you decide to cash out your Roth IRA early, so it should be used only for money that you don't plan on using until retirement.
If having a Roth IRA seems like a good idea for you consider opening a Roth IRA with a low-cost investment company such as Scottrade or TradeKing. Enlist tax help if it still looks like a great idea, even if now it's a little confusing. A Roth IRA is an excellent way to save money for retirement and know that you won't have to fuss with tax deductions and higher rates if you are eligible.

But folks there will be able to experience some barely legal entertainment Tuesday when copyright freedom fighter Stay Free!magazine hosts a screening of comic book artist Brad Neely's notoriously chuckle-worthy Wizard People, Dear Reader as part of its ongoing "Illegal Art" exhibition. Part fan-geek homage, part whiskey-throated absurdism, Neely's puckish project consists of a pre-recorded alternate narration to the movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, created to be played while watching the film with the sound off. Originally made for Neely's friends in Austin, Texas, Wizard People unwittingly leaped into the intellectual-property fracas when Neely started doing live theatrical shows with 35mm prints rented from Warner Brothers. Eventually the WB caught wind of WP, and the distributor forced cinemas on Neely's planned spring tour to cancel, including a date at Anthology Film Archives. Though Neely won't be in attendance this time, he's created a new, reportedly tighter version for Stay Free!'s eventand those who miss the screening can also download it for free from the magazine's illegal-art.org site.

Tactical Preview
Stopping Dynamo midfielder Oscar Boniek Garcia is one key to three points Sunday vs. Houston
Having had over ten days to ponder the loss to DC, the Fire take to the field Sunday night at Toyota Park against the Houston Dynamo. (NBC 5.2/Galavision 6:00pm CT) Houston have had their own slips of late but will be looking to take away some points in a massive Eastern Conference match up. Here are a few things to look out for tactically.
Right back starter: Jalil Anibaba or Dan Gargan?
In the past few games, Jalil Anibaba has started over Dan Gargan at right back. Though not playing in his natural position, Jalil has used his athleticism and speed to make the transition to the outside. After a tough game against DC, some fans were calling for the return of Gargan but, against Houston, Anibaba's aerial abilities will be needed.
Everyone knows that Dominic Kinnear's team makes its living on scoring from set pieces. The Dynamo are a big side and Anibaba's height will be needed to deal with the likes of Will Bruin and Macoumba Kandji
WATCH: Fire vs. Dynamo Preview
Double team in the left: Neutralize Kandji
In Houston's last two league matches, Kandji had two completely different performances. Against Toronto, especially in the first half, he was excellent, running at the defenders, latching on to long balls over the top and also bringing the ball inside to link up with his strike partners and advancing play makers.
The week before against Columbus, Kandji was effectively shut out of the game by being double teamed. Columbus also didn't allow him any room to operate out wide which made him a non-factor in the game. If the Fire continue their favored formation, either Patrick Nyarko or Alvaro Fernandez will need to drop to support Anibaba and prevent Kandji from getting in 1v1 situations.
Stop Davis and Garcia: plugging the middle
Against DC last week, Chris Rolfe was unable to operate because United packed the midfield. I can see the Fire deploying the same technique against Houston and their two deep lying play makers: Brad Davis (if healthy) and Boniek Garcia. Both are given license to roam, and do so eagerly knowing that recently returned midfielder Ricardo Clark is staying behind to protect the back four.
The movement and passing ability of Davis and Garcia is Houston's biggest threat and if the Fire can stop both players from creating, it will cut off the supply line to the attacking three. The outside midfielders, especially Fernandez who has experience playing in the middle, will need to tuck in as much as possible to help out Pavel Pardo and Daniel Paladini.
This, of course, leaves a lot of space out wide for the outside backs to move into but it is a worthwhile risk if it prevents Davis and Garcia from linking with the attacking three.
Biggest strength and biggest weakness: midfield
For all the talk of Houston's attacking talents from midfield, the weakness of the 4-3-3 system is that it only contains one defensive midfielder. Ricardo Clark may be one of the best holding midfielders in the league but he can easily be exploited if the Fire can transition quickly from defensive to attack.
Columbus did this to perfection against the Dynamo in their recent 2-2 draw. Houston's center backs like to come forward to help Clark out in an attempt to cut off balls into the target forward (in the Fire's case, Sherjill MacDonald) and this creates gaps that someone like Chris Rolfe can move into.
In this formation, Rolfe should have more room to create and we all saw how effective that was against New England. Because Houston is playing away from home, they won't be as inclined to attack as the would be at home but on the occasions that they do get men forward, the Fire must be ready to pounce.
Prediction: Chicago Fire 1, Houston Dynamo 1 with Sherjill MacDonald bagging his second goal for the Fire.
Stephen Piggott is a contributor to Chicago-Fire.com. Follow him on Twitter @irish_steve.
The Fire head to DC (live coverage at 6pm CT on CSNChicago) on the back of three straight victories after a tough 2-1 win at home against New England on Saturday. DC are entering the game after a fiery match against Philadelphia the following day where controversy and red cards reigned. Both United and the Fire are calling this a "six pointer" and DC will be looking for revenge after last year's incredible "Capital Comeback" at RFK Stadium. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
The Return of Pappa: Who Starts on the Left?
Marco Pappa came off the bench for the last 13 minutes (plus another questionable five minutes off stoppage time) against New England after playing longer than Frank Klopas had liked for Guatemala in a midweek friendly. Pappa's return means it's likely that Patrick Nyarko will begin the game against DC on the bench.
WATCH: Chicago Fire vs. D.C. United Preview
Having set up Chris Rolfe's 5th minute penalty call and assisted on Sherjill MacDonald's eventual game-winner, Nyarko had a very productive 75 minutes before being subbed out after picking up a slight back injury.
Both players are playing well at the moment but Nyarko's slight knock combined with a well-rested Pappa makes it more likely the Guatemalan will start. Nyarko has excelled in his recent role coming off the bench and could make a big impact if called upon.
DC Defenders: Bare Bones at the Back
With a combination of injuries (Robbie Russell and Daniel Woolard) and suspensions (Emiliano Dudar), DC United are very thin at the back.
One position in particular which is a problem area for Ben Olsen is right-back. Dejan Jakovic played most of the Philadelphia game there and looked very shaky at times before being subbed out. Olsen stated that the sub was because Jakovic needed a breather in order to be ready for Wednesday's match but it is likely that he will play in the middle with Chris Korb moving to the right.
Olsen has also floated the idea of playing Andy Najar in this position but that seems unlikely Wednesday night. Pappa or Nyarko on the left, combined with Gonazlo Segares getting forward in support, has the potential to exploit this DC weakness.
Outside Backs: Beware of Runs in Behind
Though Sega and Anibaba have done a fantastic job getting forward to support in the attack, they must also beware of being caught high up the field. This happened on more that one occasion against New England last week and could cause problems Wednesday.
Fire coach Frank Klopas noted that in the New England match the team had a lot of turnovers and were sloppy at times with their passes and with Jalil and Gonzalo's eagerness to get forward, a bad pass resulting in a turnover can leave the team exposed.
Rolfe vs Kitchen: Holding Mid vs Creative Play-maker
The battle I am most looking forward to tonight is Fire PDL alum Chris Rolfe vs. a much more recent Fire PDL alum Perry Kitchen. Kitchen plays in the holding midfield role for United, sitting just in front of the back four, a position that Rolfe loves to operate in. Against New England, Rolfe was everywhere and his combination play was superb.
After seeing the performance against the Revs, it wouldn't surprise me if DC coach Ben Olsen had Kitchen man-mark Rolfe in an attempt to stop him from creating. What made Rolfe so dangerous was his movement, not only dropping behind MacDonald, but also looking to get in behind the defense. If Rolfe can create space for himself like he did on Saturday night, it could help to unlock the DC defense.
Prediction: 1-1 with Sherjill MacDonald tallying his second goal in a Fire shirt
Stephen Piggott is a contributor to Chicago-Fire.com. Follow him on Twitter @irish_steve.
The Fire face yet another Eastern Conference foe at home this week: New England. The clubs appear to be heading in opposite directions with Frank Klopas' side only losing one of their last five while the Revs have lost four out of five but the Men in Red can't overlook this one. Here are a few things to watch out for from a tactical standpoint.
Who will replace the captain? Logan out 4-6 weeks
Last week's 3-1 win in Philly was very costly, namely because of the injury to captain Logan Pause who, to date, has had yet another stellar year. With Logan out for at least a month, two major questions arise – who should replace him in the lineup and should his injury force the Fire to change their tactics? The answer to the second question is almost certainly no. The tactic of two holding midfielders has served the Fire well this season and there is no need to change it.
Replacing Logan is a difficult task but the Fire certainly to have options. Fernandez slotted in for Logan in the second half against Philly but players like Corben Bone, Mike Videira, Daniel Paladini and Victor Pineda can all play in the center of midfield.
Having this many options is a luxury for coach Klopas but the obvious candidate in my eyes is Fernandez. He is the most experienced MLS midfielder and did a fine job in that position last week. Fernandez also didn't play in Wednesday's reserve game which could be another indication that he will be getting the start alongside Pardo.
Shots from Distance: Be Wary
Though New England haven't scored too many goals of late, its not for lack of trying. Midfielders, Lee Nguyen, Saër Sène (sometimes a striker) and Benny Feilhaber are all not afraid to pull the trigger from distance. Just a few weeks ago, Sène scored an absolutely brilliant goal against the Union, cutting in from the right before blasting it past Zack MacMath.
PREVIEW: Fire vs. NE
Nguyen scored a goal-of-the-season candidate earlier this season when he volleyed the ball from outside the box into the top corner. The Fire cannot allow the Revs' midfielders space to shoot from the outside. New England will also have target man Jerry Bengtson back from international duty and will be looking to him to provide layoffs for shots from the outside.
Chris Tierney: A Threat from the Left
New England have deployed different formations in its past two games but one thing that hasn't changed is the team's reliance on left back Chris Tierney to get forward to provide crosses into the box. Against KC, Nguyen constantly pushed inside to allow space for Tierney to move into on the left.
Against Montreal last week, New England played with one striker but again the Revs made room for Tierney on the outside to get the ball in the box. The players pushing inside also meant that New England had numerous players waiting to attack Tierney's crosses instead of just the forwards. In both of the past two games, the Revs have pushed Tierney up in advanced positions while keeping the outside right defender on more a leash.
If the Fire do indeed bring Fernandez into the middle it will be up to his replacement (presumably Nyarko) to track back and help either Jalil Anibaba or Dan Gargan when Tierney gets pushes forward into the attack.
PREDICTION: Chicago Fire 2, New England Revolution 0 with goals from Chris Rolfe and Sherjill MacDonald

Recovering Delisting Returns of Hedge Funds
Numerous hedge funds stop reporting to commercial databases each year. An issue for hedgefund performance estimation is: what delisting return to attribute to such funds? This would be particularly problematic if delisting returns are typically very different from continuing funds' returns. In this paper, we use estimated portfolio holdings for funds-of-funds with reported returns to back out maximum likelihood estimates for hedge-fund delisting returns. The estimated mean delisting return for all exiting funds is small, although statistically significantly different from the average observed returns for all reporting hedge funds. These findings are robust to relaxing several underlying assumptions.Download Info

This is the largest coal fired power station in Europe. The large plumes you see is steam from cooling the furnaces. The skinny stack in the middle is the actual emitter of pollutants. This plant is owned by an energy company called Drax, and it supplies about 7% of Britain's electricity. This particular plant is the largest emitter of CO2 in Britain.
Recently, Drax has publicly stated it would like to convert the power plant to a biomass burning plant, but in order to do so, it's demanding alternative-energy subsidies from the British government.
This is how it works:
Photo source: Jason Hawkes "Industry" series.
UPDATE: Two features stand out about this. First, the source of all that steam? Water is sucked in through gigantic water pumps(PDF) from the River Ouse. Any remaining river water that isn't cooked off is dumped back into the river at higher temperatures - very bad for fish. Second, this huge plant is located on a wide flood plain. Flood plains such as this one, have extremely fertile soils, capable of hundreds of years of agricultural production (if farmed well). My understanding is that, after the plant is decommissioned, anyone who would want to build a new home, business, or farm on this site would be responsible for decontaminating the soil. I recall from my EU Environmental Law studies that plants built after a certain date would be responsible for environmental clean up. Prior to that date, owners were off the hook for the costs. This plant was built in 1973, so I'm pretty sure Drax gets a free pass.

In the wake of Android's announcement regarding the latest version
of their operating system – Android KitKat – here are 10 of the most
interesting facts about this popular mobile OS.
- It is often assumed that Google created Android themselves, but in reality it was really just a smart investment from the internet giants. They bought the Android start up in 2005 from the original creators Andy Rubin, Rich Miner and Chris White. The purchase price was approximately $50 million and up until early this year one of the original developers, Andy Rubin, stayed involved with the project as head of Google's Android Division, a job which is now held by the head of the Google Chrome division Sundar Pichai.
- Google chose the Android platform largely because it was developed entirely on Linux rather than Windows which is of course the brainchild of rivals – Microsoft company. Although Apple is often seen as Android's main rival, it seems Google had the foresight to realize that Microsoft would eventually move into the mobile market. Windows Phone is becoming just a rival to Android as Apple has been. However it's a question whether it will gain such a large amount of users as those two.
- Based on recent polls, as many as 45% of all smartphone users have chosen an Android device to become their first smartphone. Fun fact: of those who chose an iPhone, 8% will later switch to an Android device instead.
- Android devices were not always as successful as they are now. The very first Android to be commercially marketed was the first generation HTC Dream which ran on the Cupcake 1.5 version of Android. It was nowhere near as successful as the most common Samsung devices we are familiar with today.
- The latest version of Android has been announced recently and is to be called Android KitKat. It's name to keep with the sweet treats theme established first with Petit Fours and then with Cupcake which was the first commercial version, but the third version of Android. Since then the subsequent versions have been named alphabetically using sweet treats as inspiration. The previous versions in order are Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean. The name KitKat is being used after Google and Nestle struck a unique licensing deal to co-brand the chocolate bar and the Android version.
- Android is the first mobile platform to look beyond the standard mobile phones and tablet devices that have become so common these days, with new and innovative devices like the Samsung Galaxy Smart Camera and the Google Glass visor starting to emerge.
- Android is currently most popular among users who are under the age of 35 years old.
- It appears that men
prefer the Android while women are more likely to choose an iPhone, according
to recent surveys. That's probably connected with a well-established fact
that Android allows tons of customization opportunities while iOS is a
very closed system.
- Researches show that three most common activities that Android users carry out on their Android devices are sending emails, mobile gaming and using GPS navigation.
- Of all of the games
that are currently available on Android, the most popular title stays
after Rovio's Angry Birds. By the way, their games are free for Android
while on iOS one has to pay to get the full versions.

Called to see if your backWas still aligned and your sheets
Were growing grass all on the corners of your bed
But you've got too much to wear on your sleeves
It has too much to do with me
And secretly I want to bury in the yard
The grey remains of a friendship scarred
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/shins-kissing-the-lipless-lyrics.html ]
You told us of your new life there
You got someone comin' around
Gluing tinsel to your crown
He's got you talking pretty loud
You berate remember your ailing heart and your criminal eyes
You say you're still in love
If it's true what can be done
It's hard to leave all those moments behind
You tested your metal of doe's skin and petals
While kissing the lipless
Who bleed all the sweetness away

The numbers are in. Mobile is frickin' huge:
- Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg recently told CNBC that in 2013 people spent more time on mobile than watching TV, the first time that's ever happened.
- HSN (Home Shopping Network's parent company) reported 59% growth in mobile sales.
- Starwood Hotels and Resorts says mobile now accounts for 42% of its web traffic.
- Yelp now gets 44% of its traffic from mobile.
I'm seeing similar things with my clients, with mobile accounting for 15% to 40% of traffic, sales, or both — along with huge growth curves. [Read more...]

The Annual Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey has called the country's housing 'vastly overpriced'- but what this actually means is up for debate.
Despite a slight improvement in affordability compared to last year, Demographia classed two thirds of the Australia's housing market as 'severely unaffordable', giving us one of the most unaffordable housing markets in the developed world.
"Sydney is the least affordable, with a median multiple of 8.3. Melbourne has a median multiple of 7.5, Adelaide 6.5, Perth 5.9 and Brisbane 5.8. Each of Australia's major markets, with the exception of Sydney, had housing affordability within the 3.0 median multiple norm during the 1980s, before the widespread adoption of urban containment policies."
Any score above 4.0 is considered 'seriously unaffordable'.
According to the report, Australia has one of the most 'severely unaffordable' housing markets in the world – not one of the markets studied made the 'affordable' or 'moderately affordable' categories.
Even rural areas are not immune. This year's survey also includes two principally resource-based markets located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, 'in response to reader interest'.
"Despite a large surrounding supply of land, housing is seriously unaffordable in Karratha (4.9) and severely unaffordable in Port Hedland (6.4). Western Australia's 'Pilbara Cities Blueprint' seeks 'to secure the Pilbara's future long after the resources sector has reached its peak'.
Demographia says this 'would be a fate far different' from those suffered by ghost towns like Coolgardie, which fell into decline after their natural resource peaks.
"However, to secure sustainable long-term futures for communities in the Pilbara will require affordable housing, which is highly doubtful so long as urban consolidation policies are in place."
But, as usual, not everyone agrees.
Australian Property Monitors chief economist Dr Andrew Wilson told Property Observer yesterday that any measures of unaffordability are patently not affecting the market place in terms of buyer activity and price growth.
"So we need to look very carefully at the concept of what is unaffordable...Does unaffordable mean inability to buy, because in Sydney buyers are up and about?"

Judge blocks permit for MO horse slaughter plant
Tuesday, 06 August 2013 11:15 Published in Local NewsSPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) - A judge has ordered the state Department of Natural Resources to hold off on issuing a wastewater permit for a horse slaughter facility planned for northwest Missouri.
The Springfield News-Leader reports Rains Natural Meats wants to operate the facility near Gallatin, but Cole County Judge Daniel Green wants to hear a lawsuit filed against DNR before allowing the critical permit.
Three horse slaughter opponents have sued the DNR to block the permit, which would let the facility land-apply the wastewater from the proposed plant.
Their lawsuit argues that horses treated with a gamut of drugs that could be dangerous to human health would be slaughtered at the facility.
Rains Natural Meats vice president David Rains called the judge's order illegal and said he was fighting to have it overturned.
ST. LOUIS (AP) - The elevator where a St. Louis musician fell to his death was registered with the state of Missouri but an operating certificate had not been issued.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reviewed the Missouri Department of Public Safety database following the death of Bob Reuter. Reuter, a musician and radio show host, died Saturday afternoon after falling down an elevator shaft while moving into a downtown loft.
Police say Reuter opened the door to the nearly 100-year-old elevator and stepped into the shaft, falling about 18 feet.
State regulations require each elevator to be registered with the Division of Fire Safety and to be inspected annually. The newspaper says the elevator was registered in February, but a state elevator registry shows no record of inspection or operating certificate.
Three people are hurt after a triple shooting overnight in north St. Louis. It happened just before 2:00am Tuesday in the 5400 of Genevieve Avenue. Police say a woman in her 30's was shot in the leg.
A man, also in his 30's, was shot in the hip, and a man in his late teens was shot in the leg. Police say the two men and the woman are in stable condition. No suspects are in custody.

Guest blogger and novice gardener Shelley Moore plants her vegetable seedlings.
Ever dream of harvesting grapes in Italy, baking bread in France, or tending sheep in Australia? An international network called World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) helps travelers arrange free room and board on an organic farm in exchange for five or six hours of (mostly manual) work a day. The WWOOF program links volunteer workers with farmers in about fifty countries throughout Europe, Africa, North and South America, and Asia. The goal is to promote organic farm subsistence and give workers farm experience while allowing them to visit a foreign country on a budget. Volunteers might pull brambles, milk cows, build fences, and sow or harvest crops. In return for their toil, they gain insight into rural life and help farmers pursue a sustainable lifestyle.

The World Cup final defeat of 1974 still provides a searing pain in the heart of Dutch football. It was the day that Rinus Michels' 'total football' philosophy, spearheaded by the talismanic Johann Cruyff, was defeated by a ruthless Germany team and the poaching instinct of the prolific Gerd Muller.
"The best team never to win the World Cup" is a label often handed to that Netherlands side, but rather than inspiring future success, the defeat seemed to strike a blow to the Dutch psyche - the reverberations of which can still be seen today.
Four years after the 1974 heartache, they lost in the final again, this time to Argentina, and aside from a Marco van Basten-inspired victory at the 1988 European Championships, the Netherlands have undoubtedly been a nation characterised by underachievement.
Teams packed full of talent - the De Boer brothers, Marc Overmars, Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Kluivert et al - have come and gone, with defeat to Brazil in the 1998 World Cup semi-finals the closest they have come to eradicating the nightmares of '74 and '78.
Now, 36 years after Muller shattered Dutch dreams and 22 years since they lifted the Henri Delaunay Trophy, the Oranje enter the World Cup finals in their customary position - as one of the contenders to lift the holy grail that has thus far eluded them.
At Euro 2008, impressive 3-0 and 4-1 victories over reigning world champions Italy and France respectively led many to believe the duck would finally be broken, but the Netherlands then went crashing out at the hands of Guus Hiddink's Russia.
Dutch legend Ruud Gullit, who scored the opener in the 1988 European Championship final triumph against the USSR and also coined the phrase "sexy football", believes that to make an impact in South Africa, the Netherlands may have to sacrifice style for substance and abandon their traditional 'total football' approach.
"I have my doubts about whether Holland can win it, simply because we need to play well in all the games," he said. "The opposition seem to have sussed us out at the last few tournaments, which makes it difficult to play our game, but I hope we will do well. There is a great possibility to get through our group but it's going to be hard. I always hope that, when we get through our group, we can win games ugly - that would be a turning point."
Bert van Marwijk is the man charged with leading the Netherlands to their first World Cup triumph this summer after taking over from Van Basten following another Dutch anti-climax at Euro 2008. Having masterminded a perfect qualifying campaign - the Dutch won all eight games, scoring 17 goals and conceding just three - expectation in the Netherlands has again reached fever pitch.
But after watching former AC Milan and Netherlands' team-mates Frank Rijkaard and Van Basten fall on their swords after failing to lead the Oranje to glory, Gullit believes the national team job is one of the toughest in football - though he admitted it is still one that would tempt him back into management after unsuccessful spells at Feyenoord and LA Galaxy.
"The Netherlands national team job is one of the hardest in football - everybody thinks they are a coach and everybody knows better than you. There is a lot of pressure to play football in a certain way and sometimes it's difficult to play that sort of football all the time and win.
"But, still, that it is the highest goal you can have and of course I would take the job in the future. I've had offers in club management but I'm happy with things at the moment. [It depends] if I get the right offer - and that doesn't have to mean a big team. It has to synchronise with family circumstances, too."
Another man keen to be involved in national team proceedings again is 33-year-old Ruud van Nistelrooy, who moved from Real Madrid to Bundesliga side to Hamburg in a bid to prove his form and fitness ahead of the World Cup.
Van Nistelrooy currently sits in fourth place on the Netherlands' all-time scoring list, seven goals behind Kluivert at the top. But having played 15 matches fewer and with a goals-to-game ratio of one in every two appearances, he certainly has a chance to break that record.
Gullit, who netted 16 times in 66 appearances for the Netherlands, admitted that an in-form Van Nistelrooy would be a valuable addition to the squad, but insisted he must prove his worth at Hamburg.
"At the moment, I am sceptical - not because I don't think he is a good player, he's a great player, but when he came back for Real Madrid, he picked up another injury and I think he's very vulnerable at the moment. But he will play [at Hamburg] and I hope he can show us that he still has it because having him at the World Cup would certainly make us a stronger team."
Another Dutch player plying his trade at Hamburg is tricky winger Eljero Elia, who has set the Bundesliga alight with some fine performances, building on the outstanding 2008-09 season that earned his move from FC Twente, which saw Elia win the Johan Cruyff Prijs for Dutch Young Player of the Year.
And with Arjen Robben - who won the same award in 2003 - struggling for fitness this season, Gullit believes 22-year-old Elia is a ready-made replacement for the Bayern Munich winger and that he could also help Van Nistelrooy's World Cup ambitions.
"We have Robben, who is extremely fragile, so to also have someone like Elia who can come in is a huge bonus. He's been playing very well of late. First and foremost, I want to see Van Nistelrooy playing regularly, as I think that will give us a better view of what he can bring to the national team.
"But if he and Elia get a feel for each other at club level, it will only benefit the national team. Huntelaar is the same - he and Van Nistelrooy are two strikers with a proven goalscoring pedigree who aren't playing regularly."
It is Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder who Gullit picks out as the key to the pursuit of World Cup glory, but he is more interested in how some of the world's supposed 'superstars' will cope with the pressure of playing on the biggest stage of them all.
"I am looking forward to seeing how the great players - the Ronaldos, Rooneys and Messis - come out of a tough league season with their clubs and perform to the best of their ability at the World Cup. I am curious to see how they cope - and don't be surprised if someone like Messi, who will play 60 games with Barcelona, can't reproduce his form at the finals."
Having worked in Zambia and South Africa on the Barclays Spaces for Sports initiative, Gullit believes the excitement on the continent ahead of the finals is clear, and reckons that the fanatical support could help inspire an African success story this summer.
"It is a possibility for Africa to show itself in a different way apart from HIV, civil wars, refugee camps and things like that. For South Africa, it's important, it's enormous to show itself in a way that nobody knows. I believe the people are ready for the World Cup. Whether the infrastructure is ready to function or not, I have no clue, but I think everything will go okay.
"The motivation for the African teams is clear for all to see. It feels like home soil for those teams and I believe that they could spring some surprises. This is a World Cup not just for South Africa, but for the continent. They know how special it will be."

Keep 'em coming. This is not over.
hahahaha...These are awesome.
A while back I worked at a place where they served coffee in styofoam cups during coffee break. A small vial of brake kleen poured into the cup while they weren't looking yielded interesting results... Mainly when they picked up the cup the bottom of the cup stayed on the table... It usually surprised them...
Change the year on her PC to 2015... The days of the week are the same but it may yield interesting results on documents for a while until noticed...
This was a prank we pulled on one of the guys at our firehouse... We jacked the drive axle of his new car up and blocked it about 1/4" off the ground... For ome reason he had a perplexed look on his face when he tried to leave and it didn't move....
I bet by now some of you are saying you never want to work with me... lol
Yes, and it frightens me that you live in CT too.
way back when i worked at a small family-owned boat dealership ( i was the only one not related) i rigged the chair and desk in the small office, it was a 10 x 10 office with glass frontage, and every morning the routine was the same, the secretary would walk in, set her coffie down, pull out the chair and sit down. i had took about 7-10 of those "pull" firecrackers (had a string on each end) tied one set of strings to the desk leg and the other ends got tied to the chair leg. i took up a spot where i could watch and sure enough, glad she sat the coffie down. there was a stream of expectives, followed by my name. i was laughing so hard i couldnt play dumb. when i asked how it was known it was me, i was told the others (all related ,remember) wouldnt have dared. its still funny , even after 15 years.

They are Ghouls, feeding off others misery.
Naturally! Ghouls don't care about anyone else. They feed on death and misery. This is why they push agendas that promote misery and dependency.
Ghouls! Every one of them are ghouls! Using the tragedy of others to push their agenda. GHOULS!
Sadly, most of the media outlets only offer Leftist talking points as 'facts'.
I think Bob, like most Leftists, is cracking from the pressure of trying to keep up the charade. He's very defensive, and starting to eat his words like John Madden at a Planters free sample event. I almost feel sorry for Leftists like Bob. The absurdity they have to defend day after day coupled to their absolute disconnect from reality cannot be good for their mental and physical health. Take a vacation, Bob. Obama can join you in a few months.
Leftists support voter fraud because it is a win-win tactic for them. First, they get their people into office. Second, they undermine confidence in our election system. Either way, the Left wins.
Just more evidence that being Left-wing is caused by mental illness.
Stossel, while I consider myself a Libertarian, this is the one area where our camp goes wrong. It is not the military, wars, or even defense spending that is the problem. The problem is the Government. Government contracts, waste, pork, favors, etc. Where the wars have gone wrong is Government meddling. Stupid rules of engagement made by bureaucrats. Bureaucrats that derail nation-building by forcing ideas on unreceptive populations. The warriors do their part, only to have any and all progress bungled by the bureaucrats and politicians.
He appears to have been involved with/was a neo-nazi. Nazi's are leftists, not conservatives. The KKK and their spawn, the neo-nazis, were born from the Democratic Party.
I think the word you are looking for is 'unprecedented'.

09-24-2009, 08:22 AM #4Welcome to the site!! I would just get a replacement K&N, I dont think that the full intake is really worth the money. If you want to keep the stock exhaust setup, just go to a local shop and see what they offer. Midas offers Flowmaster but they may be too loud for what you want. I have a Flo-Pro from my local guy and like it waaaaaaaay more then the magnaflow I had, its only loud when I floor the truck. Around town just a nice calm rumble, with NO drone on the highway (my magnaflow had tons of drone)

As far as intake goes, i think the K&N cold air intake is WELL worth the money.
As for the exhaust, i love my magnaflow. its not as loud as i want it, but its got a nice tone. it does, however, have that cruise drone and has some volume at take off, depending on how hard you gas it.2006 Silverado Z71 - 97,000 - totaled, RIP

Testing for Fictive Learning in Decision-Making Under Uncertainty
We conduct two experiments where subjects make a sequence of binary choices between risky and ambiguous binary lotteries. Risky lotteries are defined as lotteries where the relative frequencies of outcomes are known. Ambiguous lotteries are lotteries where the relative frequencies of outcomes are not known or may not exist. The trials in each experiment are divided into three phases: pre-treatment, treatment and post-treatment. The trials in the pre-treatment and post-treatment phases are the same. As such, the trials before and after the treatment phase are dependent, clustered matched-pairs, that we analyze with the alternating logistic regression (ALR) package in SAS. In both experiments, we reveal to each subject the outcomes of her actual and counterfactual choices in the treatment phase. The treatments differ in the complexity of the random process used to generate the relative frequencies of the payoffs of the ambiguous lotteries. In the first experiment, the probabilities can be inferred from the converging sample averages of the observed actual and counterfactual outcomes of the ambiguous lotteries. In the second experiment the sample averages do not converge. If we define fictive learning in an experiment as statistically significant changes in the responses of subjects before and after the treatment phase of an experiment, then we expect fictive learning in the first experiment, but no fictive learning in the second experiment. The surprising finding in this paper is the presence of fictive learning in the second experiment. We attribute this counterintuitive result to apophenia: "seeing meaningful patterns in meaningless or random data." A refinement of this result is the inference from a subsequent Chi-squared test, that the effects of fictive learning in the first experiment are significantly different from the effects of fictive learning in the second experiment.(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)

Alan Theatre
1615 Arctic Avenue,
Atlantic City,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 6 comments
The odd side of Arctic Avenue in the 1600 block is vacant. There is a park on the western side of the block. Status should be closed/demolished.
Google has not gotten to Atlantic City yet, for reasons unknown. I will take another look when I go there later this year.
I did not see any building at this address when I was in AC last year. Google maps will not load where I am now, so perhaps someone can take a look and see if this is in fact a parking lot.
ken mc – check drive-ins.com for information on the absecon
Regarding the Alan, it is still listed as open in the 1956 FDY with 600 seats.
This is the wrong place for this comment, but alphabetically it's pretty close. There was a drive-in in my hometown of Absecon NJ called the Absecon Drive-In. My friends and I used to sit on the railroad tracks behind the drive-in in the early seventies and watch Russ Meyer films. That was quite an education for a twelve year old, given Mr. Meyer's well known proclivities. Perhaps you can create an entry for this? The theater was on the White Horse Pike next to the golf course going west to Atlantic City. I think it closed down in the 1980's.

OSO Fresh Magical Food Storage Containers
I saw an 18 piece set of Oso Fresh food containers for sale for $50 at Costco. They claim that some silver dust keeps food fresh 2-3x longer. I figured too good to be true. But I went home and looked it up....and check out the reviews (this is the same product, sold under Sharper Image brand):
also the costco price seems a good deal...same price for 50% more containers.
Problem: they apparently don't nest. Doh.
For anyone still looking for this product, apparently it can only be found online now. I think the Oso Fresh containers are amazing. I'm not sure if they're the same or different then the Fresher Longer containers (look the same) but I've got grapes in my fridge that have been there for over a month that look exactly the same as when we put them in there minus a few new raisins here and there. Same with Blueberries and Strawberries. Lettuce even. I suppose everyone's experience may be different as my sister says hers don't work as well. Anyway...I love'em and hope people start buying them cuz I don't want them to disappear like the vaccum sealing ziplock bags.
For those that have been looking for these at Costco, they now have two different sets available online. The $50 set mentioned in the original post is now 14 pieces instead of 18.
My question is this, how do these fair with microwave use and staining? Can they handle tomato sauces and other colorful foods?
Does anyone know if the items in these two url's are essentially the same?
OSO Fresh:
http://www.noamgroup.com/tfls/index.php?main_page=indexBed Bath & Beyond:
re: badseed
OK, I finally got a call back from the distributor so I can answer my own post.
The "Everyday" containers currently on the Bed Bath & Beyond website are similar to the original but do not have the "silicone-gasket locking system".
The containers offered by Sharper Image (FresherLonger) do not have the silver particles.
The distributor, Lifestyle Innovations, said there should be more of the original containers available soon on their website:
http://www.oso-fresh.com/index.phpThey also said they should be available at Bloomingdale's and eventually at Target.
I found some still available online at this website:
hi i have to say these are the best containers for fresh produce. they keep stuff fresher than any i have seen. i bought my 'kit' at bed, bath and beyond and now they are telling me they no longer carry them. any suggestions as to where to get them? bbb only charged $40.00.
missmalka -
The final results – cheap Glass Jars vs. Rubbermaid vs. FresherLonger food storage containers
http://www.chowhound.com/topics/324342Over a year later I will say that they are the sturdiest and best constructed plastic containers I have. If they don't nest, you can fit a few in others. I use the largest for baked goods often.
That's a great price and I'd consider more if I were replacing my existing Rubbermaid plasticware since they would last much longer. The price Sharper Image was selling them at was absurd.
Storage-wise I don't think they are really better than Rubbermaid in terms of performance. Anyone putting the same food item in a Rubbermaid container and the OSO will see that they don't keep things fresher a significantly longer time (strawberries excepted) and in some cases, not at all.
The only thing that ticked me off recently was some butter molded in my FresherLonger container. I've never in my life had butter go moldy, even when I just leave it in the box it came in. This was artisan bought-at-the-local-creamery butter. It was as fresh as butter can be. No excuse.
I don't know if it's the containers (and the "silver dust") or the fact that they're airtight or what, but I swear my strawberries last forever when I store them in those containers. No bruising, molding, or browning. My parents bought a set and gave me a few... they do take up a lot of space in the cabinet, though, due to not nesting together.

Last month I went to Las Vegas on a last minute whim while I was in Los Angeles and on my way back east. My stay ended up coinciding with Superstorm Sandy's trouncing of the East Coast, so I ended up extending my stay a couple days while I reworked my schedule since my NY plans were upended. Vegas isn't a great town for points earning hotels, since most are off the strip and quite frankly not part of the quintessential Vegas experience (except for Palazzo/Venetian, which are Priority Club properties and the Cosmopolitan which is a Marriott Autograph collection hotel). Luckily, as an Amex Platinum cardholder, I took advantage of the card's Fine Hotels and Resorts Program to make my extended stay in Sin City a little more comfortable.
I spent my first two nights there at the Encore Las Vegas, the scene of Prince Harry's debaucherous night last summer. I originally booked an Encore Guest Suite King Room at $259 a night. However, as part of the room upgrade perk with Fine Hotels and Resorts, I asked for a Panorama Suite which is the same size as a king room but has the all-important Strip views. Usually, those rooms go for about $100 more a night than the king rooms – getting me $200 in extra value right off the bat.
The room had those perfect views of the Strip, and was spacious at over 700 square feet, with a small living room area with sectional, a semi-separate bedroom and a large bathroom with separate tub and walk-in shower as well as two sinks. Allow me to show you around the room here:
Thanks to FHR, I also received daily complimentary breakfast for two, a 4pm late check-out and a $100 in spa services at the Encore spa where I booked a 60-minute deep tissue massage. That normally costs $180 but was just $80 thanks to the spa credit.
If you're not keen on booking a massage or other treatment, you can still access the spa and fitness center using a day pass which costs $70 and your spa credit will cover that. The spa is split into men's and women's areas and the men's area was very spacious and had several heated pools, jacuzzis and a line of relaxation stone/circulation chairs and several saunas and steam rooms.
What's great about Encore is that it's very interchangeable with its sister property, The Wynn. For instance, one day I did breakfast at Encore, the next day I ate breakfast at the Wynn's Terrace Pointe Cafe (This is by far my favorite place for breakfast here.), and the second morning at Tableau. And since the Encore pool was closed during my stay, I was able to use the Wynn pool instead. That was kind of annoying but at least there was an alternate option. However, the Wynn still felt the need to block off a bunch of cabanas even though it was off-season and there was tons of open seating around. Typical Vegas.
Between Encore and Wynn there's a total of 19 restaurants ranging from casual (Zooza Crackers deli) to fine (Botero Steakhouse). I ate at SW Steakhouse on the first night, which was great (though very pricey) and every 30 minutes or so there are "creatures" that pop out of the man-made lake, which are entertaining – at least for the first two times.
There are also five bars and lounges and five nightclubs, XS and Tryst being two of the top clubs on the Strip. Other activities at the resorts include the Le Reve show, the Wynn Golf Course, high-end shopping (both resorts have their own cache of luxury designer shops) and of course, gambling. Lots of gambling. Good thing breakfast is free.
Overall, I really liked the location on the strip and the on-site amenities, though for my last night I stayed at the Mandarin Oriental, which was a much different and more relaxed experience that I'll be writing up shortly.
