Not sure if anyone's mentioned (and it has been a while since you made that post), but the Skylanders pack at Walmart is geared towards the youngens a little more than the average Xbox bundle. Although it was a "guaranteed in-stock" doorbuster last night, our store had gotten in 160+ and sold... 20 of those. I would think that's going to be pretty common since your demographic is kind of niche. Skylanders is kind of a big deal, but most people that had wanted to get into it (it's a collectible toy system that you can play with within the videogame) have already done so months ago so I really don't think this bundle would sell well at all, but it is a decent value at $149. |
NO, not in the traditional sense of "storing" a full-game/disc, no. What the 360 does have is a feature to "install" games to the harddrive (which ranges from 2GB to neary 10, from what I've seen), and what this does is install a lot of the necessary files that the individual discs call-up so that the disc rarely spins once it's finished loading. I'm sure what your question mostly pertains to is more like "can I rent games/swap them with friends then install them to my system ala a PC then never need the disc again" though. |

The Cypher
What up fam?
Last night I stood on a roof in Brooklyn wit my 2 sons (OMG & Doughboy) and the "King of Rock" Rev. Run wit his 2 sons (Diggy & Jo Jo) and we did the BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher. We killed it. Me and Run had 16 bars and our boys had 8 bars a piece. We had DJ Premier on the wheels and it was a beautiful night.
Ya'll don't understand. I was a straight fan last night. I grew up on Run-DMC and having a chance to do a cypher wit the legendary DJ Run was a bucket list moment for ya' boy. It was all love of course and we talked about a line he said in '83 that set it all off, "If you say you heard my rhymes we're gonna have to fight, Cause I just made the mothafuckas up last night!" Now that's hip-hop. Just wanted to share that wit ya'll. On my way back to Cali...

Lauren is an aide to a Senator and likes her life in Washington, D.C. – or at least she did, as she's recently quit her job and is now at loose ends. She was none too happy to hear that her widowed mother, Charlene, had married Arlen Thompson, the mayor of Cedar Springs, after a whirlwind courtship. The whole thing seems suspicious. What better way to check it out than a trip to Colorado? And now that she's unemployed, she can hang around indefinitely, which is convenient to the plot.
Lauren is described as sensible, smart, etc. But she makes a dumb, or at least incomprehensible, move right off the bat. Jake flies to meet her at a small regional airport, but they have to borrow a vehicle and drive back to Cedar Springs due to bad weather. Lauren agrees to travel alone with Jake, whom she's never met, on a three-hour trip through the mountains, and by the time they arrive in Cedar Springs she still hasn't even asked him his name. In fact, she never does – she finds it out incidentally the next day. This bit of idiocy aside, Lauren is an enjoyable character as she bikes around town and gets to know Jake, who in turn finds himself unexpectedly attracted to her.
But someone isn't happy that Lauren is asking questions about the mayor. Jake and Lauren spend time together and form a nice friendship that deepens into lust, then love. The suspense takes a backseat to their developing relationship, only appearing in spots, and it's not very convincing. The romance is much more sparkly, and a lot more enjoyable.
Both Jake and Lauren are fun characters. Neither is looking for love, and it takes them both by surprise. This is fun. The author wisely doesn't rush them into bed, either – they have time to get to know one another a bit and share more than a couple of conversations. Jake's determination to win at the Reno Air Races adds some dimension to the plot.
A Great Kisser wins points for its well-done romance, but not for the tepid suspense thread. All in all, it's a pleasant read, a fine choice for a winter's day.

This is the only Microsoft Windows-based wireless packet capture device fully integrated with Wireshark and Riverbed® Cascade® Pilot software.

With an AirPcap adapter three-pack, you can listen and capture from three channels simultaneouslyin Wireshark or Cascade Pilot software. Or aggregate the packets from those channels into a single data stream for analysis.
Instead of relying on a third-party vendor driver, we developed our own. This approach guarantees:

Back To TopEach AirPcap adapter captures traffic on a single channel at a time; the channel setting for the AirPcap adapter can be changed using the AirPcap Control Panel, or from the "Advanced Wireless Settings" dialog in Wireshark or other tools. Depending on the model of your AirPcap adapter, it can be set to any valid 802.11a/b/g/n channel for packet capture.
AirPcap adapters operate in a completely passive mode. This means that they capture the traffic on a channel without associating with an access point or interacting with any other wireless device. Unless you are transmitting with either AirPcap Tx , Ex or Nx, the adapters are not detectable by any other wireless station.
The AirPcap adapters can work in Monitor Mode. In this mode, the AirPcap adapter will capture all of the frames that are transferred on a channel, not just frames that are addressed to it. This includes data frames, control frames and management frames.
The AirPcap software can optionally be configured to decrypt WEP-encrypted frames. An arbitrary number of keys can be configured in the driver at the same time, so that the driver can decrypt the traffic of more than one access point at the same time. WPA and WPA2 support is handled by applications such as Wireshark and Aircrack-ng.
When more than one AirPcap adapter is plugged in, the AirPcap Control Panel will show one additional interface: the Multi-Channel Aggregator. The Multi-Channel Aggregator is a virtual capture interface that can be used from Wireshark or any other supported application. Using this capture interface, the application will receive the traffic from all installed USB AirPcap adapters as if it was coming from a single device.
The Multi-Channel Aggregator has its own FCS, Capture Type and FCS Filter settings. These settings, and not those of the physical adapter, will be used when capturing from the Aggregator. Note that it's not possible to set the channel of the Multi-Channel Aggregator; instead, the channel drop-down box will show a list of aggregated channels. To change the channel of any individual adapter, select the Capture adapter from the Interface drop-down list and set the desired value in the channel drop-down box.

Woman chases down alleged iPad thief at Andrew Square MBTA station
A woman who had her iPad ripped out of her hands while waiting for a train at the Andrew Square MBTA station chased down the man who allegedly tried to steal from her.
MBTA Transit Police said officers were called to Andrew Square Station in South Boston about 10:50 a.m. Tuesday for a robbery in progress.
When officers arrived, the woman was able to point out the alleged thief.
She told officers that she had been reading from her iPad as she sat on a platform bench waiting for a train when a man sat down next to her.
When the train pulled into the station, the man forcefully grabbed the device from her hands and fled up the stairs, police said.The woman gave chase and was able to grab him. That's when a struggle ensued, and she was able to take back her iPad.
Police charged Chino Young, 21, of Brockton with unarmed robbery and assault and battery. He is due in South Boston District Court on Wednesday.

Draft and Trade Talk Message Board
Keeper 3B help
I'm in a keeper league that keeps 12 players.
Offensively I sit at:
C: Posey,1B: Votto, 2B Pedroia, SS: Andrus, OF: Ellsbury, Util: Rizzo.
For 3B I have either Aramis or Moustakas. Do I go with the youngster that has a chance to break out or the proven veteran? Or should I skip both of them and draft Middlebrooks come draft day?-
Keep Aram. It seems that people aren't really high on him... ever but all he does year in, year out is put up consistent #'s. Power, an RBI machine and oh yeah, he bats behind Braun. Also, he is notoriously known as a slow starter and kills it in the second half when most players start to fizzle. That should be the easiest decision you ever make, keep Aramis Ramirez.
Go with MM, as KC is on the rise and he will play every day. Middie could still be healing that wrist. Just 6 months since he broke it, and with his big power swing, could re-injure easily.....
If you can get Middlebrooks, then i would go for him. Before his injury (Which he will heal from) he is young & a good player.
Aramis is 5696 in baseball years & on a decline while the Moose plays like a Deer.
Go for Middle who could break out.- 1 Reply to Manuel R
I would be leery of the .240/.276/.416/.692 line Will Middlebrooks posted in the 35 games after the trade of Kevin Youkilis.
I think you have to roll with Aramis. The upside in BA, R, HR, RBI is pretty real. I know he'll be 35 middle of the year, but he's very solid. Moutakas at this point in a 12 teamer is not a starter, and I don't know with that average and BB rate he ever will be elite anyway. Middlebrooks is interesting, I think if you have any red sox fans in your league he will go too early. I like him, but I'm not sold that the K rate is staying low, and thus the BA may always be average to low or worse. That BB rate is bad and limits him to hitting lower in the order, not a bad player but I think the hype is a little too high on him. I'd look at .250/75/25/80/8 for him this year, useful in a moutakas kind of way.
If it were me, I would try and trade A-Ram and roll with Moustakas. A-Ram is going to be turning 35, you would think that a decline is coming.
aramis could help you win in 2013, middlebrooks is a good choice as well for now and the future. moutakis is a no go. anyway you have some nice keepers. i would play for 2013 and keep aramis. good luck, bob

The turkey(s) are here from time to time but this is the first time they ever brought the chicks along. They already have learned to scratch so I think they will do well. So next year East Peoria should have a few more turkeys.

A Higher Calling to Protect
Displaying 110 of 46 comments
Brennan Doherty
Teresa, I would say what you lose is the recognition that the different genders are God ordained and thus men are to be protectors of women and not treat them as if they are just men with bumps, or that as long as a woman can meet the physical requirements it is fine to go ahead and put them in any dangerous situation whatsoever. I think men are already callous and unprotective enough towards women in this day and age without furthering it along. As far as combat goes, I posted this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy--whDNNKk because in it a general who fought in 3 wars made an excellent point. Combat is not just getting shot at or being in a "danger zone." It is seeking, closing with, and killing the enemy. That's combat.
Teresa Benson
I think we need clarity about what is meant by "combat." Do we mean: 1) Being put in positions where the enemy would try to kill them? 2) Being assigned to kill others? or 3) Humping 110-lb packs through the Afghan countrysides, a la Restrepo? I understand that physical standards will not be lowered, so that if women can't do the job of infantry or SEALs, there won't be any women in those units-- not because they have two X chromosomes, but because they can't meet the physical standards. But what about #1, which is already happening routinely? Or #2, which also happens quite often? If there are positions in the military which are closed to women but don't require a high level of physical ability (or experience in a physically-demanding specialty), what do we lose by allowing women to serve there?
Ken Smith
Putting aside the theological and philosophical issues about equality for a moment, I recently watched the documentary "Restrepo", and it put this debate into a whole new light for me. After watching that, I simply don't understand how anybody could come to the conclusion that introducing women into combat wouldn't have a detrimental impact on our troops' safety.
Brennan Doherty
Well, I was a Protestant and part of the evangelical culture for 17 years so I understand what you are saying. I don't look at keeping women out of combat as treating her as a "child" but as recognizing the essential differences between men and women. Women should recognize this just as well as men (and I think many do). I really don't think many of the people who advocate women in combat understand its horrors (at least not experientially) and those who do, like the General I have mentioned, strenuously oppose women in combat. But, as I said, the Saints I mentioned were strong women and fully adult.
The problem with being a christian woman (I'm talking mainly about evangelical culture) is that you are treated like a child who will never grow up. We teach children from a young age that choices have consequences and that they are responsible for their decisions & actions. We try to correlate the choice with the results - so that our children grow into competent, responsible members of society. Except for girls, who get taught the same message as children and then are told as adults that they must be governed by their husband for their entire adult lives. We call this "protection"- but what it is, is treating an adult as if they are a child. If a woman (like a man) enters a profession where she puts her life in danger to protect others , do we really think that she is unable to fully comprehend the risks vs rewards? If she is physically & mentally capable of performing the task, why is there even a question of "allowing" her to do it? - Because we think of her as a child...
Brennan Doherty
Janet, my avocation that women should be prohibited from combat roles does not entail that therefore they shouldn't be allowed to think or act for themselves or should have to marry their rapist. Some of my favorite Saints like Therese of Liseux, Teresa of Avila, Hildegard of Bingen, and Catherine of Siena have been very strong and intelligent women who have done much for the Church. God bless.
Brennan, I suspect that I would be content to allow myself to be helped by whomever showed up to assist me, regardless of gender. I'm not sure if others' opinions are somehow supposed to convince me that I should stay at home and let the boys do all the thinking and acting for me. Forunately for me, I don't live in a world where I'm forced into that role. History teaches us many things: it teaches us, sometimes, how not to treat others. Biblical culture was specific to a time period in which all women were viewed as property and treated as such. I wasn't sold into bondage/marriage by my father nor do we keep slaves. My husband doesn't have many wives or any concubines. There's just me. Thankfully, I wasn't forced to marry my rapist, as previous cultures would have forced me to do. Stonings aren't all that common in American culture, either, thankfully. The Bible is full of beautiful truths. Fortunately for me, God's truth transcends culture. We are all one in Christ.
Brennan Doherty
Here is the link in my previous comment as it didn't get inserted correctly. The article is called "Women in Combat: "Equality" and Ambition Over Privilege and Duty" and here is a lengthier quote: "One can go round and round about upper-body strength, about statistics, sexual harassment, equality, and so on and so on... The thing is, these arguments rarely get anywhere. That's because hardly anybody really cares about any of these things. The liberals don't care because they have an agenda that calls for obliterating all recognition of the differences between men and women. The conservatives shouldn't care because the traditional resistance to the idea of women in combat doesn't actually rest on any of these arguments. It rests on a certain ancient idea of the fundamental differences between men and women, which naturally the liberals do not grant." http://www.crisismagazine.com/2013/women-in-combat-equality-and-ambition- over-privilege-and-duty
Brennan Doherty
I'd suggest having a brawny man rescue you from a burning building. I posted the testimony of a General who has experienced combat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy--whDNNKk) since I seriously doubt anyone commenting has. The argument goes beyond the physical and mental. It goes to why is it scandalous for a man to hit a woman (but not necessarily other men?) It goes to the feminine nature of women as life-givers and not life-takers and men as protectors. But as one female wrote: "One can go round and round about upper-body strength, about statistics, sexual harassment, equality, and so on and so on, et cetera... The thing is, these arguments rarely get anywhere. That's because hardly anybody really cares about any of these things. The liberals don't care because they have an agenda that calls for obliterating all recognition of the differences between men and women." http://www.crisismagazine.com/2013/women-in-combat-equality-and-ambition-ov er-privilege-and-duty
Some folks' idea of "chivalry" is best left in the dark ages. Yes. I'm for allowing human beings to work in whatever capacity fits the gifts that God blessed them with. We should have the same criteria for both genders. We won't find equal numbers of women in combat infantry due to physical factors. Just as we won't suddenly start having a whole bunch of men who are 5'2" & weigh 110 pounds in our infantry, either. Would I feel better about a scrawny man coming to "rescue" me from a burning building or a brawny woman? I'll let you figure that one out on your own. I am wondering about the supposed "mental" differences that make women unfit for combat? -- You mean the ability to multi-task, see both the big & small picture, to prioritize & direct others? -- While I suppose men aren't as good at those things as women, I don't think it should disqualify the male gender as long as they can do the job as well as a woman. Gender really only matters if your having sex with the person.

Operation Summary for October 7, 2011 - October 10, 2011 |
NuMI reported receiving 8.21E18 protons on target for the period from 10/3/11 to 10/10/11. Friday October 7 The day shift began with Operations monitoring the Pbar stack (47.1E10) and the protons in the Recycler (6.4E10), with the Main Injector (MI), Linac, and Booster operating normally, and with the NuMI and MiniBooNE experiments taking beam. During the day shift, the Neutron Therapy Facility reported at 8:10 AM that they were preparing their beam line for treating one patient later this morning. Operators reported at 8:54 AM that they were rebooting the MI-60 BPM system. Operations established beam to the Meson FTBF experiment T-1012 at 10:13 AM. Pbar personnel dumped the last remaining stack of antiprotons at 11:19 AM. Booster personnel began an aperture scan at 10:06 AM. Operators began preparing Pbar and their transfer lines for a 30-minute access to valve out a magnet with a LCW leak. At 1:33 PM, operators reported that a Switchyard (SY) corrector magnet power supply (S:V204) was tripping off on a high temperature indication; repairs on this power supply held off beam to T-992. Operators reported short downtimes due to problems with the NuMI BPMs, a MI RF vacuum pump (I:IPRF17), a Booster RF station (BRF17), and Linac quadrupole power supply (QF114). During the evening shift, Booster personnel ended their aperture scans at 4:26 PM. A Power Supply person reported at 4:49 PM that he had completed his work on S:V204; Operations resumed sending beam to T-992. At 8:35 PM, the V204 power supply tripped off again on a high temperature indication; a power supply person came in and began repairs. T-992 said they were done for the night due to the repairs and Operations disabled their beam. Saturday October 8 The midnight shift began with Operations sending beam to NuMI and MiniBooNE. During the midnight shift, the I- Source high voltage power supply tripped off at 12:28 AM; it reset. At 1:56 AM, LRF3 tripped off for the first of two times in about three hours; it reset. At 3:13 AM, MIRF17 tripped off for the first of four times in about four hours; it reset. At 6:42 AM, MTA suffered a power outage; the main breaker for compressor building tripped off once again. Operators contacted the High Voltage Coordinator and the FESS Duty Electrician, who had power restored by 7:37 PM. The power tripped off again at 7:51 AM when the Cryo System Coordinator turned on the helium compressor. During the day shift, at 8:16 AM, a Safety System person reported a leak in the MiniBooNE target LCW system; Operations turned off beam to MiniBooNE and prepared the area for an access. FESS personnel restored power to MTA at 8:54 AM. Operations established beam to T-992 at 10:39 AM. Fluid Group personnel brought the regenerate CUB column #1 online at 1:51 PM. During the evening shift, Operators reported at 4:34 PM that the MiniBooNE water skid showed a reduce flow; an Instrumentation person came in to work on the system. MiniBooNE remained off. Operations disabled beam to T-992 at 10:25 PM. MIRF17 tripped off 10:36 PM; it reset. A Linac Klystron RF station (KRF3) tripped for the first of three times in six minutes; it reset. MIRF18 tripped off at 11:30 PM. Sunday October 9 The midnight shift began with Operations sending beam to NuMI and MiniBooNE. During the midnight shift, at 12:05 AM, MIRF18 tripped off for the first of six times in about seven hours; it reset. At 12:32 AM, KRF3 tripped off for the first of seven times in about seven hours; it reset. At 1:53 PM, MIRF17 tripped off for the first of five times in about 20 minutes; operators bypassed the station after the last trip. At 3:14 AM, LRF5 tripped off for the first of six times in about 30 minutes; a Linac Technician came in after the last trip and brought the RF station back online at 4:10 AM. During the day shift, at 8:08 AM, KRF3 tripped off for the fist of many times throughout the shift; it reset. At 9:12 AM, the MI-40 lower power supply tripped off for the first of two times in about an hour; operators contacted a Power Supply person who said that there was diagnostics on the system to determine the problem. Operations established beam to T-992 at 10:15 AM. Operators adjusted a low flow switch for the MiniBooNE target LCW water skid at 2:41 PM and then established beam to MiniBooNE at 3:48 PM.

"A Bend in the Road. When we feel we have nothing left to give & we are sure that the song has ended, When our day seems over & the shadows fall & the darkness of the night has descended, Where we can go to find the strength to valiantly keep on trying? Where can we find the hand that will dry the tears that the heart is crying? There's but one place to go & that is to God, & dropping all pretence & pride, we can pour out our problems without restraint & gain strength with Him at our side. And together we stand at life's cross roads & view what we think is the end, but God has a much bigger vision, & He tells us it's only a bend. For the road goes on and is smoother, and the pause in the song is a rest, & the part that's unsung & unfinished is the sweetest & richest & best. So rest & relax & grow stronger. Let go & let God share your load. Your work is not finished or ended, you've just come to a bend in the road".$34.99 -

Sustainable packaging: eco-friendly and unbreakable
Packaging manufacturers help the industry to reduce their ecological footprint by designing new packaging and developing the associated production processes, which is no easy task. Raw material consumption needs to be reduced by using thinner and smaller amounts of resource-intensive materials, without compromising package integrity and stability.
"The top priority is protection of the packaging contents," says Stefan Glimm, managing director of the German Aluminum Industry Assn. (GDA). There is a good reason for this. According to the European Organisation for Packaging and the Environment (EUROPEN), the value of the resources input into and held in food products is much higher than the value of the packaging that protects these products. Product losses resulting from inadequate packaging therefore account for more carbon dioxide emissions than are saved by eliminating surplus packaging.
In developing countries, food losses are a big problem: According to EUROPEN, 40% of the goods in the supply chain are lost. Better protection of products in these countries could therefore considerably ease the burden on the environment. At the interpack 2011 trade fair in Düsseldorf, Germany, food protection will be one of the key themes. The special exhibition Save Food, organized together with the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations, will show how the individual elements in the value chain can make a contribution, in terms of packaging, logistics, and transport, to cutting worldwide food waste.
Safety is the top priority
Packaging manufacturers have come up with many innovations to demonstrate that safety and ecology need not be mutually exclusive. Sonoco for example, will exhibit its new True Blue Line at interpack 2011. According to company spokesman Jeff Schuetz, it is just as stable as its predecessors but contains less material or can be more easily recycled.
Kraft Foods recently started to use Sonoco-designed containers made of recyclable board instead of tins for its coffee brands Maxwell House, Nabob, and Yuban.
Another example is Unilever, which has redesigned the plastic bottles for its Suave-brand hair care products with Sonoco containers that employ 16% less material. And their new curved form is designed to be more stable than their predecessors.
The German Plastics Packaging Industry Assn. (IK) views such innovations as a confirmation of its own position that plastic is suitable for sustainable packaging. "It is very versatile," declares Isabell Schmidt, IK expert on the environment and sustainable development. Plastic provides protection, is transparent, and its low weight enables savings to be achieved in transport costs and carbon dioxide emissions.
Besides plastic, paper, board, glass, and metal (e.g. aluminum) are also candidates for a sustainable packaging strategy, as each of them offers its own advantages.
A study by the Dutch research institute DE Delft shows that paper and board, for example, have a smaller carbon footprint than most other packaging, due to factors such as efficient production and lower transport emissions. The carbon dioxide equivalent of paper and related materials is 676 kilograms carbon dioxide per metric ton of material, whereas that of other packaging materials is at least 1,000 kilograms.
Glass, on the other hand, cannot boast a low weight, but is returnable, recyclable, and safe. "Glass is inert, so that practically no interaction can occur between contents and packaging," explains Johann Overath, managing director of the Federal Assn. of the German Glass Industry. In addition, it is made from raw materials that occur in sufficient quantities in nature. This appeals to consumers who value pure taste and want to consume products from "healthy" packaging. According to a survey by the European Container Glass Federation (FEVE), 75% of Europeans prefer glass as a packaging material, as it contributes to a healthy lifestyle.
Tinplate and aluminum also protect food products and can be easily recycled. The recycling rate of aluminum is 82.3%; 96% for aluminum cans. "This rate will be boosted still further by closing the gaps in recycling loops," says GDA's Glimm. The sector also wants to cut the consumption of materials according to Glimm.
Bioplastics on the rise
Manufacturers of established packaging materials must expect increasing competition from bioplastics. These may not be as versatile as conventional oil-based plastics, but they make up for this with ever improving properties. The British company Innovia Films recently launched Natureflex, a 100% compostable, biodegradable plastic film for food products. According to head of marketing Andy Sweetman, this multilayer biofilm forms a barrier against moisture and gases so that packaged products such as biscuits retain their crispness over a long time.
German bioplastics producer FKuR Kunststoff also focuses on barrier properties. A new development from FKuR is biopackaging suitable for low temperatures, which is used for frozen food. The rapid advance of bioplastic packaging will also be reflected at the interpack trade fair. At interpack 2005, only 250 square meters were devoted to this theme within a special exhibit but at interpack 2011 it will cover about 2,000 square meters of exhibit space.
Sustainability even in production
Manufacturers of packaging machinery can also contribute to further rapid cuts in the cost of packaging. The Food Processing and Packaging Machinery Assn. of the German Engineering Federation (VDMA) sees opportunities for achieving savings not just in packaging materials. A major contribution to sustainable production can be made by reducing the energy consumption of packaging machinery. For instance, decentral servo technology, which functions more dynamically and efficiently than large drives, could be used.
VDMA claims that the expenditures for purchasing such machinery can be recouped through lower energy consumption. Product manufacturers who put their faith in sustainability therefore profit first of all at the production stage, even before their products reach the point of sale.
