Re: Battery Tender/Trickle Charger
I have a Noco Genius G3500 charger. It will charge 6/12v, Wet, Gel, MF & AGM batteries. It will charge either 3.5 or .9 amps. I keep it on the 4240. I use it to top the car batteries once in a while.

Re: Battery Tender/Trickle Charger
Battery tenders do thier job. Sometimes too well and causes the battery life to shorten by boiling off the water inside maintenance free batteries. Lawn tractors are a good example. Good for maybe two years like clockwork. Why? The battery become sulfated which shorts out the plates and no longer can maintain the amperage storage capacity. There is some simple maintenance that can be done to lead acid batteries that can extend the life three fold. Simply adding distilled water when needed. Well you say there are no filler caps. Yes there are. Look under the top label. You'll find six screw out sealed plugs with O rings to prevent leakage. They still seem to leak and always corrode the positive terminal. So your thinking it's a sealed battery. It still is vented and moisture escapes and concentrates the acid and starts to sulfate (white hard looking stuff) looking down into the filler hole. Google "How to save a sulfated battery" Using something a simple as distilled water and epson salts.
A battery tender should only be needed once a month to top it off then disconnect. I have ressurected three car batteries and refreshed my zero turn battery with the above methods. I've discussed this in another thread about saving 18V dewalt batteries. I rotate my battery tender once or every other month while checking fluid levels. The white sulfate that was shorting the cells slowly disappears and converts back to acid. This removal of sulfate also increases the amperage storage capicity.
As I said tenders are for troublesome batteries. Cold is an enemy of a battery thus a tender helps overcome the extreme cold. I'm not saying it works for all batteries, but I've had great sucess reconditioning my batteries addressing the cause and occasionally top them off. Good luck -robertRetired and enjoying life with my kids and grandkids -robert

Re: Battery Tender/Trickle Charger
They are worth twice that if you have a 120v source so you never have a dead battery when you really need to use the equipment. As themichelob pointed out they will not fix a dying battery but can make a new battery last 2x+ longer if powered any time the equipment is parked.
Re: Battery Tender/Trickle Charger
I keep two motorbikes, a tractor, and a seldom used car on Deltran battery tenders. The car and one of the motorbikes got 10 and 9 years out of their OEM batteries. The other motorbike and the tractor still have their OEM batteries after 10 and 3 years, respectively, and they start without problems. I use the two-charger Deltrans, which you can get for about $80, and have pigtails with two-pole connectors permanently attached to the battery terminals for ease of connection and disconnection:

Re: Battery Tender/Trickle Charger
I use the ring connector on the scooter (battery hard to get at), and the alligator clips on the tractor. They all come as one set.
DieHard Battery Charger/Maintainer: Start Every Time With Sears
And it came with an assortment of connectors. If the "reviews" are right, I guess it's pretty popular.
My ZTR is in an 8' x 12' metal garden tool building in the back corner of the yard and there's no electrical power there. So I just take the battery out and take it in the shop and hook up the charger/maintainer.Bird

Re: Battery Tender/Trickle Charger
My latest maintainer is the CTEK discussed in this thread:
This generation of charger is well sealed against the weather, one of the reasons I'm willing to pay a bit more for this type.
I'm liking this CTEK so far.
As commented already - really important to keep an eye on the fluid levels in a traditional flooded plate battery, if you are going for longest life. Overly aggressive or malfunctioning chargers and alternators can evaporate quite a bit of water - distilled is always better than tap water for refills.

Re: Battery Tender/Trickle Charger
Count me in for the Pro - tender crowd. I have 6, 4 Battery Tender brand and 2 Schmauker brand, that I keep on all mowers, motorcyles, tractors, and trucks. Last week I replaced the first battery since beginning to use them; it was OVER 6 years old in a Harley. And if you ride a big Harley - you KNOW how much power it takes to crank it with a very small battery. I know first hand, the battery tenders extend the life of my batteries by 4 years or more. And that includes AGM batteries. And no - they cannot be used on Optima dry cell batteries...

Halo Headlines: Dipoto and Scioscia talk Hatcher firing, Details on arrest of Hunter's son, A petition to ban 'Buttercup'
The May 17th, 2012 edition of daily news for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim including Dipoto and Scioscia talk about Hatcher's firing, details emerge on the arrest of Torii Hunter's son, sign a petition to stop the Angels from playing "Buttercup" and much more...
The Story: Jerry Dipoto hopes the firing of Mickey Hatcher can "spark" the Angel offense.
The Monkey Says: There is nothing that swapping out hitting coaches is going to do other than shake up clubhouse chemistry that is going to provide a "spark." More than anything, letting Hatcher go shows fans that the team is trying to fix things and will no longer tolerate the questionable approaches Angel players have been taking to the plate and the poor results that have followed under the last few years of Hatcher's tenure. Hatcher's replacement, Jim Eppard, isn't going to change any of that overnight, but he isn't going to make things worse either.
The Story: Mike Scioscia defended the job Mickey Hatcher did during his years as Angels hitting coach.
The Monkey Says: Well of course he did, he has been on his staff since he was hired, so Scioscia obviously thinks Mickey was doing something right. One thing Scioscia made perfectly clear in his statements is that he was not the one who made this decision but that he was accepting of it, though not particularly happy about it.

Diocese of Covington at 1125 Madison Ave., Covington, KY 41011-3115 US - Home
Welcome to The Diocese of Covington
5 March 2014
My dear Friends:
Remember, you are dust, and to dust you will return — Sober words. These words are spoken to us as blessed ashes are imposed on our foreheads on Ash Wednesday. A sober reminder that no matter who we are, no matter how old or young, one day we will return to dust! This is something that none of us can escape.
And yet, we need not be afraid. We need not be overwhelmed with dread, with fear. We need not become discouraged or distraught. We know that beyond the grave there is life. We know that the grave is not the end for the person of faith. We have hope. We trust in the Lord.
Still, it is good to be reminded that this life is not the be-all and end-all. There is another life, eternal life. And we actually prepare ourselves in this passing life for the life that will never end. The season of Lent provides us with such a reminder and opportunity. We are invited into the desert to take stock of our lives, to examine where we are on our journey to the Lord. Through the threefold program of prayer, fasting and almsgiving (cf. Matt 6:1-6, 16-18) we are encouraged to enter into the Lenten season, to deepen our relationship with the Lord and with our brothers and sisters.
During this Lenten season may we all draw nearer to the Lord in this life always with a view to the life to come. May we, through our acts of sacrifice and self-denial, purge ourselves of all self interest and turn our hearts, minds and lives to the glory of God so that, when Easter arrives, we will be ready to truly celebrate our Lord and Savior, risen from the dead.
Be assured of my prayers for each of you during this great and holy season of Lent. Please, pray for me.
Yours devotedly in the Lord,
Most Reverend Roger J. Foys, D.D.

Nov. 28, 2012 -- Many pork chops and ground pork products in the U.S. may be tainted with antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including one that the USDA does not look for, a Consumer Reports study shows.
The new report also found traces of a drug that is banned in several countries.
But trade groups representing the pork lobby say the new findings overstate the risks associated with tainted pork, and attest to its safety when prepared properly.
According to the study, 69% of pork chops and ground pork samples tested positive for Yersinia enterocolitica, a bug known to cause infections in about 100,000 Americans a year, especially kids. Other bacteria found in pork samples included enterococcus, staph, salmonella, and listeria. Twenty-three percent had none of the bacteria that was tested for. Some of the bacteria seen in the pork samples were resistant to antibiotics.
In addition, researchers found low levels of the drug ractopamine in about one-fifth of 240 additional pork products. This drug is used to promote lean muscle growth in pigs. It is approved for use in the U.S. and some other countries, but banned elsewhere due to safety concerns. Similar drugs may cause restlessness, anxiety, and a quickened heart rate.
The report will appear in the January 2013 issue of Consumer Reports.
"We were a bit surprised by the yersinia," says Jean Halloran. She is the director of Food Policy Initiatives at Consumers Union, the policy arm of Consumer Reports. "This is not a bacteria that USDA requires companies to test for, so it is not regarded as a problem with pork, but it is a significant cause of food-borne illness and this is a sufficiently serious problem."
Contamination can happen easily in mere seconds. "If you were just a bit careless in the kitchen and drippings from a pork chop get on your lettuce in the refrigerator, or you forgot to wash the knife between cutting meat and salad greens, you could get sick and it would be harder to treat the infection because of its resistance to antibiotics."
What's more, "the safety data in support of the use of the drug ractopamine is not sufficient," she says. "We need the USDA to act."
Researchers tested 148 samples of meat from pork chops and 50 from ground pork for the presence of bacteria. The pork samples came from many major store brands. Some carried misleading and unapproved claims such as "no antibiotic growth promotants" and "no antibiotic residues."
Overall, ground pork was more likely than pork chops to harbor bugs. Similar findings could be expected in sources of raw pork, such as pork loin and pork cheeks, but not cured pork products such as bacon or ham, Halloran says.
Philip M. Tierno Jr., PhD, says the new findings are worrisome. He is director of clinical microbiology at New York University Langone Medical Center in New York City.
"When we test an individual with gastrointestinal symptoms, we look for salmonella and staphylococcus aureus and other pathogens, but we also routinely look for yersinia," he says. The fact that the USDA doesn't look for this bacteria in pork is of concern.
Antibiotic use in animals is one of the key drivers of antibiotic resistance, Tierno says. "In the U.S., we use antibiotics to prevent, not treat, infections in animals because of how the animals are raised in crowded conditions."
What can people who eat pork do?
Lots, experts say.
Donald W. Schaffner, PhD, says everyone can eat pork products safely as long as they take the proper precautions. He is a professor of food sciences at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J. "If you like it, you should keep eating it, just cook it thoroughly," he says. "Not everyone can afford organic meats."
Many in the pork industry dispute the findings.
In a written statement, R.C. Hunt, a pork producer from Wilson, N.C., and president of the National Pork Producers Council, says the amount of samples used in the study was way too small to draw any meaningful conclusions. He also says that the new report failed to break the yersinia down by subtypes, only a few of which cause illness in people.
As far as antibiotics in the livestock, "the simple fact is that pork producers like me use FDA-approved antibiotics very judiciously to keep our animals healthy and to produce safe pork for consumers," he says.
The National Pork Board also takes issue: "Pork is safe. Only a few strains of yersiniacause illness in humans."
The group states that the antibiotic practices used are safe. "The FDA approves antibiotics for use in food animals, which may be used to treat illness and prevent disease, or allow pigs to grow better on less feed, resulting in less waste," they say in a prepared statement. "Antibiotics used in pork production have many built-in safeguards throughout the food chain to provide safe food."

A challenge to culls which will kill thousands of badgers has failed at the Court of Appeal.
The Badger Trust had attacked Mr Justice Ouseley's decision in July to uphold government proposals for two pilot culls to tackle tuberculosis in cattle: one in West Gloucestershire and the other in West Somerset.
The pressure group says that killing badgers will make no meaningful contribution to tackling the disease, which has been described as the most pressing animal health problem in the UK.
It claims that the scheme could lead to 40,000 animals being "pointlessly killed" over the next four years.
But, Lord Justice Laws, Lord Justice Rimer and Lord Justice Sullivan unanimously rejected the appeal, which was only concerned with statutory construction.
Afterwards, Patricia Hayden, vice-chairman of the Badger Trust, said: "We are very disappointed. We don't know what the next step is, but we will not give up."

Tom's Cove Park
[ 4/10 ]
While this part bills itself as a campground, there are many more seasonal than transient camper sites. Some areas of the campground have a "shantytown" appearance that is very off-putting. The pool is too small for the size of the park, maybe another pool should be in the planning. We have camped in many campgrounds with older facilities, and just because something is old does not mean it can't be kept clean. The bathhouses were overcrowded and dirty, and the office staff surly. Also, we were told no reservations, and, after picking a site, we were told that site was reserved. Hmmm. All in all, Tom's Cove has a great location, and a well stocked camp store. They need a clearer reservation policy, cleaner bathhouses, nicer staff and another pool.
Sanford, Virginia
Tall Pines Harbor Campground
[ 9/10 ]
Camping at Tall Pines was a wonderful experience for our family. We were welcomed upon arrival, and escorted to our site. Owners Ray and Sherrie could not have been nicer. The campground is very popular,(due to the number of 'frequent flyers" we met during our stay) and appears to be outgrowing it's facilities. The pool was obviously built for a smaller campground, and 1 bathhouse, while very clean, was not meant for 80-plus sites. Another gripe is the constant roar of golf carts. It seems the "seasonals" don't have to abide by the reasonable 10 MPH speed limit while in their golf carts. Also, I saw several golf-cart drivers speeding along with a beer can in hand. That is a recipe for disaster. All in all, we did have a wonderful week end. We do hope to return to Tall Pines Harbor, and will recommend this campground to other campers. Just beware the golf carts.

Director Max Winkler on his feature debut, 'Ceremony'
March 17, 2011 by Lance Carter
Filed under Interviews
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 8:19 — 5.7MB)
Max Winkler – yup, Henry's son – has made his feature-length directorial debut with the coming of-age story, Ceremony.
If you're a fan of the web-series, Clark and Michael (starring his friends Michael Cera and Clark Duke) you already know Winkler's work. Ceremony, which he also wrote, follows Sam (Michael Angarano) on a quest to stop a former fling (Uma Thurman) from marrying a worldly filmmaker (Lee Pace).
I talked with Max right before SXSW about the film, how he got the cast and tells me a funny bit of advice his dad gave him.
Where did the idea for this movie come from?
Max Winkler: Well, the idea of the movie probably came from a lot of places. It was pretty personal movie that I wrote, and I thought that would be sort of a good way to make my first film to sort of ensure that I feel very close to it and at the same time sort of have all the answers to any questions anyone may have. And also I was just sort of waiting around for other movies to come around that I was hoping that I could direct and I felt like while I have a second I should take the time and write something that I can probably really relate to.
You got Uma Thurman, Lee Pace, and you got Michael Aragano. This being your first film how did you get this cast?
Max Winkler: Because the script was so personal to me, I think people could probably find parts that they related in to it, 'cause I wrote it from such an emotional place. I just had really good conversations with all of them and I felt so lucky that I got to have all these people come and make this movie with me.
Let's go to the casting of Michael, he was originally cast as the best friend? And then Jessie Eisenberg dropped out and you decided to go with Michael, how did that happen? How did you decide to make that choice?
Max Winkler: Michael had been rehearsing the part for so long with Jesse and I. Just sort of having dinner together and reading the script around my dining room table. Michael really got sort of first hand practice at both characters. And when the time came when scheduling stuff happened and Jessie had to leave, we started to sort of search around everywhere, but before we really did it I just said "Mike do you just want try it and see how it feels, we'll do it." We recorded just Michael reading through the bedroom scene with Uma, with me playing Uma, in the office in LA. And I sent it to the producers, I think it became incredibly clear to everyone that like, we just really sort of figured out what our movies was.

Dolphins vs. Steelers: Through the Air
Dolphins passing attack: 232.2 pass ypg (13th)
Steelers passing attack: 160.2 pass ypg (28th)
Dolphins pass defense: 201.8 pass ypg (12th)
Steelers pass defense: 233.0 pass ypg (24th)
Dolphins passing stats
C. Henne: 107-170, 62.9%, 1,195 yards 7 TD's 5 INT's
B. Marshall: 37 rec, 467 yards, 1 TD
D. Bess: 26 rec, 282 yards, 2 TD's
Steelers passing stats
C. Batch: 29-49, 352 yards, 59.2%, 3 TD's 3 INT
B. Roethlisberger: 16-27, 257 yards, 59.3%, 3 TD's 1 INT
M. Wallace: 12 rec, 301 yards, 3 TD's
Hines Ward: 17 rec, 219 yards, 2 TD's
Now on to the more optimistic element of Sunday's game. Yes, things would be even more upbeat if Roethlisberger's six game suspension would have held up, but on paper the Dolphins actually have the advantage here, both offensively and defensively. Of course, the game is not played on paper.
If the Steelers were really an easy to team to throw on, their defense wouldn't be clearly the league's most dominate unit five games in. And obviously, with Roethlisberger back, they are going to drastically improve that 28th overall passing game. Still though, if your looking for a reason to believe the Dolphins can knock off the Steelers for their first home win of the season, this is it.
Steelers passing attack vs. Dolphins secondary
It's really tough to get a feel for this Dolphins' secondary right now. Vontae Davis has been the most consistent, but was finally exposed in Green Bay on that 86-yard Jennings' touchdown. On the other side, Jason Allen has been either hit or miss every week. Safety wise, Chris Clemons has disappeared ever since his solid performance in Week 1 and Yeremiah Bell is better off playing inside the box than trying to cover.
The key match-up will undoubtedly be Vontae Davis vs. Mike Wallace. I'm confident that what we saw in the first four games is a sign of things to come from Vontae, but the speedy receivers, like Wallace, usually give him the most trouble. Jennings beating him deep this past Sunday is the most recent example of that.
Davis is a physical corner, and matches up better with physical receivers. But the Dolphins like to keep their corners on one side of the field, and the Steelers like to move their receivers around quite a bit, so we should see bothDavis and Allen getting opportunities to cover Wallace and Hines Ward.
Like I said a couple days ago, though, the key to stopping the Steelers' play-action passing game isstopping Reshard Mendenahll and their running game. And we know the key to that will be Cameron Wake and Koa Misi successfully setting the edge.
But just like every week, Wake and Misi getting after the quarterback may serve as the Dolphins' best pass defense. Hopefully, the momentum from the three sacks Wake registered against the Packers will carry over to this week, and hopefully Misi continues his trend of improving each and every game.
Edge: Push
Dolphins passing attack vs. Steelers secondary
When Dan Henning knew the Dolphins wouldn't be able to run the ball consistently against the Jets in Week 3, he completely opened up the playbook and let Henne air it out 44 times. Yes, the Dolphins lost that game, but you can't blame that on the offense.
There were times where they relied too heavily on the pass, and should of at least attempted to keep the defense honest. Personally, I would like to see the Dolphins try to unleash a balanced attack every week. But against the Steelers, they will most likely just be hitting their heads against a wall all game long and will find themselves in way too many third and longs.
I'm not saying let Henne throw close to 50 times again either. But I think they need to spread it out a little bit early on and take some shots down field in order to get that aggressive defense back on their heels.
If they find success moving the ball through the air and Henne is able to avoid the costly mistakes, then you come back to the run once the Steelers start respecting Henne a little more. Yes, a lot of ifs for that formula to work, but unfortunately that's just how good this Steelers defense is.
Match-up wise, Brandon Marshall versus the physical Ike Taylor will be key. At 6'2, Taylor is the prototypical corner for covering Marshall, but let's be honest here, nobody can single cover Marshall with any sort of consistency.
The Steelers will likely double-team Marshall on most passing downs, so opportunities will once again present themselves for Davone Bess to eat up receptions underneath. If the Dolphins want to take some shots with Marshall, they would be wise to do so on first and second down when the Steelers may employ some single coverage.
Let's remember too, if the Dolphins are going to open things up a bit, keeping Henne clean will be crucial. Jake Long will have his hands full against James Harrison, and LaMarr Woodley could present problems for Vernon Carey on the other side.
At the end of the day, though, it's all going to comeback to Henne. If he plays miskate free football, the Dolphins are going to be in this game.
Edge: Dolphins

DSGE Model-Based Forecasting |
March 2012 Number 554 |
JEL classification: C11, C52, C54 |
Authors: Macro Del Negro and Frank Schorfheide Dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models use modern macroeconomic theory to explain and predict comovements of aggregate time series over the business cycle and to perform policy analysis. We explain how to use DSGE models for all three purposes—forecasting, story telling, and policy experiments—and review their forecasting record. We also provide our own real-time assessment of the forecasting performance of the Smets and Wouters (2007) model data up to 2011, compare it with Blue Chip and Greenbook forecasts, and show how it changes as we augment the standard set of observables with external information from surveys (nowcasts, interest rate forecasts, and expectations for long-run inflation and output growth). We explore methods of generating forecasts in the presence of a zero-lower-bound constraint on nominal interest rates and conditional on counterfactual interest rate paths. Finally, we perform a postmortem of DSGE model forecasts of the Great Recession and show that forecasts from a version of the Smets-Wouters model augmented by financial frictions, and using spreads as an observable, compare well with Blue Chip forecasts.

Have a great 2014 of photography
hello and welcome to my portfolio gallery.
i am self taught and enjoy learning by experimenting and exploring a wide range of subjects & approaches.
i personally feel that if you want your own style than do things your own way. by all means be inspired by other people but don't just directly copy
I'm amazed that so many of your images have not gone manic in terms of votes! I've just spent quite a time here thoroughly enjoying so many of your images.
Great portfolio. I have just started a project on abstract photography - a new area for me. I am making my first steps ( shown by mu last few uploads to my portfolio ) and looking at your work I have a long way to go. On the other hand your work is an inspiration to me. Despite your comments about not looking to others for your own style, i do feel I have a lot to learn from you. Thanks for the inspiration. ....Peter
Just discovered your portfolio and have to say that it is incredibly inspirational. Love the way you see life and the things you photograph, and also how you photograph/process them; definitely not the ordinary which is brilliant. A real treasure trove!

Erich Leinsdorf – Perfectionist, Pioneer and Pedagogue
Erich Leinsdorf – Perfectionist, Pioneer and Pedagogue
Sun, 02/03/2013 - 12:00pm - Mon, 02/04/2013 - 8:00pm
Leinsdorf was the Principal Conductor of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra from 1947 to 1955. Erich Leinsdorf – Perfectionist, Pioneer and Pedagogue, the two-part series that celebrates the centenary year (2012) of the great conductor and educator, airs Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 12 p.m. (pt. 1) and Monday, February 4, 2013 at 8 p.m. (pt. 2) on Classical 91.5/FM-HD 91.5-1. Leinsdorf was the Principal Conductor of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra from 1947 to 1955.
In Erich Leinsdorf – Perfectionist, Pioneer and Pedagogue, distinguished artists and others who worked with him share stories of his legacy as a perfectionist conductor of operas, orchestral music and concertos, a passionate educator of performing musicians, and a devoted advocate of an enormously wide-ranging arena of composers. Gunther Schuller, Phyllis Curtin, Marilyn Horne, Joseph Silverstein, Vic Firth, John Oliver, Henry Fogel, Dan Gustin, Anthony Fogg, Deborah Borda, Costa Pilavachi and Michael Skinner recall Maestro Leinsdorf's powerful impact at the Metropolitan Opera, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Tanglewood Music Centre and the New York Philharmonic. Maestro Leinsdorf himself is heard speaking about the interpretation and also the teaching of some repertoire for which he became especially celebrated and revered.

NORTHFIELD Norwichs go-to line of Colin Mulvey, Tory Allan and Travis Janke shipwrecked the New England College Pilgrims during Fridays 5-0 mens hockey victory at Kreitzberg Arena.
Goalie Chris Czarnota worked the pipes to record his first shutout of the season as the top-ranked Cadets upped their record to 17-2-0 overall and 12-1-0 in ECAC East play.
Norwich came out buzzing and peppered NEC goalie Shawn Sirman with six quick shots. The Cadets went ahead 1-0 on the first of two Mulvey goals, a backhand through the five-hole at 2:46 with assists to Allan and Janke.
Norwich used its speed to carry the play and rack up 30 shots on goal, compared to New England Colleges eight attempts through the first two periods.But the Cadets had to settle for a 2-0 lead and deal with a Pilgrim power play to start the third period. Halfway through the middle period, Norwich held a 27-3 shots-on-goal edge, but Sirman (38 saves) proved tough to beat.
Mulveys second goal came on a pretty connect-the-dots play. Janke returned Mulveys pass back to him as he proceeded unchecked to the net.
On the first goal, I saw Tory cycling up high with a defender on him, Mulvey said. I tried to get open and he slid it to me. I spun around and snuck it though the five-hole.
We knew when Pier (captain Pier-Olivier Cotnoir) got hurt that we needed to pick him up, Mulvey said of his linemates. Janke is so unselfish. He and Allan are two exceptional players. They make me look good.
Throughout the contest it seemed a question of when, rather than if, Norwich could put more points on the board. Midway through the final period, the Cadets struck twice in 25 seconds.
Nevin Lawler scored on a rebound of Alec Thiedas slap shot at 8:50. Gerard McEleney also had an assist. Thieda had been robbed twice before by Sirman.
Defenseman Erik Lyrvall scored his first career with assists from Janke and Allan.Allans goal in the closing seconds came with an assist from Lyrvall and Thieda.
New England College dressed 10 players from Sweden and three from Finland. The Pilgrims dipped to 7-12-2.
Czarnota stopped 13 shots while lowering his goals-against average to 1.92.
We had a real good start, Norwich coach Mike McShane said. I thought the second goal by Mulvey was key. We had a strong third period and all of our lines skated well.

Ben Stevenson - Opposites Attract
Artist: Ben Stevenson
Producer: Sevn Thomas, Jordan Evans, Ben Stevenson and Katalyst
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 10 total votes )
As Paula Abdul and MC Skat Kat taught us back in 1989, love has the power to transcend not only social class and species, but also the barrier between cartoons and reality. While Ben Stevenson's tastes are a bit more traditional—he goes for human beings, rather than animated, rapping felines—his latest promo cut is a timely reminder that Opposites can, and often do Attract. Penned by the T-Dot native in conjunction with 4th Pyramid, this slow-burning selection finds Stevenson serenading a woman whose profound differences from him only make her more alluring. The production is also a group effort: Sven Thomas, Jordan Evans and Katalyst link up with the headliner to create the cut's intricate, atmospheric instrumental backdrop. While Opposites Attract is not part of a larger project, Ben Stevenson is currently hard at work on a debut album. Stay tuned for further details on the project, which will be Executive Produced by Boi-1da.

BBC's iPlayer getting Mac version in 2008, Web version continues to dominate usage
If there are lessons to be learned about the need for big companies to create platform-agnostic services, the BBC's iPlayer project may be one of the most shining examples.
Since the launch of the iPlayer, the BBC has been under fire not only from its viewers, but also members of the British Parliament. Parliament members have come down on the broadcasting corporation for its lack of support for open standards, and soaring costs in the development of the Windows-only software whose cost is estimated to be close to ?6 million pounds (nearly $11 million dollars).

Be careful how you light this multimedia fireplace
Interior designers have been doing their best to meld home media equipment and the fireplace, but to date most of the results have ranged from the awkward to the absurd--unless it happens to be in the back seat of a Hummer, of course.
But Germany's Vok may have changed all that, for it has had the audacity of combining an LCD TV, DVD player, PC, and Bose sound system directly above the hearth. Trendir says the entire apparatus--which can be made to order in oak, birch, or rosewood--comes in four sizes ranging from $23,800 to $31,500, … Read more
ViewSonic's PC-TV monitors look the part
TVs and PCs may be taking their own sweet time to morph into one appliance, but some designs are starting to betray the romance. Case in point: ViewSonic's new "Diamani DUO" series (dynamic duo?) are meant to be used both as a desktop monitor and an LCD TV, in 19- and 22-inch models with 1,440x900 and 1,680x1050 respective resolutions.
Unlike other PC-TV screens, which are often indistinguishable from desktop monitors, this one actually takes on some of the design characteristics of a plasma or LCD set, such as today's popular piano-black gloss finish, contoured … Read more
A TV-PC that helps you shave
Apparently it's not enough to have a mirror that sends text messages or even engages us in conversation. We need one that'll run Windows too.
Facing stiff competition in its mainstay telly business, U.K.-based Mirror Media has created a line that incorporates a PC into its reflective TVs in sizes ranging from 20 to 36 inches with frames in wood, metallic and other finishes, according to Chip Chick. It remains to be seen, however, whether they'll be able to create the ultimate convergence appliance by including a radiator.
Meivo: The LCD TV that swallowed a PC
Rock's nutty professors have been hard at work cooking up the Meivo--a 22-inch LCD TV with a high-end PC stuffed inside it.
The Meivo (pronounced my-vo) is Vista-ready, meaning it'll have awesome media-handling capabilities out of the box, and it'll have up to two hard drives and an incredible four Freeview or analog TV tuners--a media junkie's dream.
This does overlook the impossibility of there being four things on Freeview at the same time you desperately have to watch. "Oh no, the repeat of Deal or No Deal clashes with Hollyoaks, the local news … Read more
Sharp adds touchpad to the remote
This one definitely falls under the category of What Took Them So Long? Universal remotes have claimed (dubiously) to do everything under the sun, but they've gotten increasingly difficult to use by cramming in more keys and buttons, not to mention indecipherable commands.
Sharp has responded to that frustration with "the world's first remote controller with a touchpad," according to Gearfuse, for its updated line of Aquos TV-PCs. The design overhaul means 40 percent fewer buttons and computer-like navigation on the remote.
The new products appear to be available only in Japan for now, but we'… Read more
All-in-one 'I-TV' from Italy
Who says the PC-TV is dead? A decade ago, a lot of bets were placed (and lost) on the convergence of television and the computer as a single uber-device for the home. But the concept is alive and kicking in, of all places, Italy.
Coolest-Gadgets says a company called Mc Person has unveiled an "all-in-one" system that will offer "television, radio, Internet, high-definition video, house automation, health monitoring and more." The "I-TV" concept, as it is known, works wirelessly and is controlled through a single remote.
It sounds too good to be true, unless … Read more

American Airlines Warns It's Eliminating Jobs
American Airlines is notifying more than 11,000 employees that they might get laid off. The move is part of the company's ongoing bankruptcy reorganization which continues to be rocky.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
And speaking of that, American Airlines says it is sending layoff warning notices to 11,000 employees. The company says the news may ultimately be a little less bad. Those actually losing their jobs will number a little over 4,400 in the end. The cuts are part of the Texas company's bankruptcy process, which NPR's Wade Goodwyn is tracking.
WADE GOODWYN, BYLINE: American Airlines announced in February that it planned to lay off 14,000 employees, the vast majority union workers. But after U.S. Airways indicated it was interested in merging with American, and that it would cut far fewer jobs if they did merge, American management discovered it could be a lot more flexible than it first thought. Bruce Hicks is American's spokesman.
BRUCE HICKS: Fortunately through a number of things we expect only about a third of those to be actually involuntarily reduced. We now don't believe that any flight attendants will be involuntarily separated because of the early-out program and the other voluntary programs.
GOODWYN: Eighteen hundred American flight attendants, and more than 800 ground workers, have agreed to take bonuses and leave. Hicks says the cuts are painful but necessary.
HICKS: American Airlines lost over $10 billion in the last decade. We had said in February that we need to reduce our labor costs by over a billion dollars a year, and this is part of that process.
GOODWYN: American has signed agreements with every major union but one, the Allied Pilots Association. The relationship between American's management and its pilots union has been a train wreck for the last 30 years. The low point was in 2003, when the company rung more than $2 billion in concessions from its unions. It was later discovered that American's top managers were quietly taking millions in bonuses and setting up special executive pension plans for themselves worth tens of millions of dollars more.
This week, American's pilots began finding increasing maintenance problems with their aircraft, and the company's on-time performance has plummeted. American's Bruce Hicks.
HICKS: We certainly apologize to all of our customers for any delay or cancellation they faced. This is not the way we run an airline, but these are the issues we're dealing with right now, and we're going to continue to do our best for them.
GOODWYN: Before American can take its next step, whether that be as a stand-alone airline or newly merged, it needs an agreement with its pilots. At one point, American offered the pilots a 13.5 percent stake in the new company, but the pilots turned it down. Helane Becker is an industry analyst with Dahlman Rose & Company. Becker believes the pilots may have made a mistake.
HELANE BECKER: The company presented to the pilots the kind of last best offer, and it was rejected by the pilots because they thought they were going to get a better deal and we would, you know, conjecture they're probably not going to get a better deal.
GOODWYN: But Becker says the pilots are far from powerless. The union can gum up management's happy little bankruptcy plan, and it's in the company's interest to get the pilots on board. You can't fly without them, but with so much bad blood, it is not going to be easy. Wade Goodwyn, NPR News, Dallas.

By now all of you have likely heard of the Google concept call the 'Gphone.' Yet there remains a lot of speculation in regards to its future. Will it will always remain a mobile OS, or will Google ever enter the hardware market remains to be seen? However, I can point you to a few things that I believe will indeed, come to light sooner than later. Some of them might surprise you.
The GNOME team is out with the road-map for GNOME 2.22, 2.24, and future releases. There's quite a few changes planned, but a few in particular had caught our attention.
So in this two-part series we're going to dig into the newly-released Ubuntu Server 7.10, take a look at its feature set and system requirements, and decide if it is a worthy contender in the Linux server stack category. I've been running it long to enough to say that it has some very attractive features, and it does a number of things better than anyone else. But it has a major flaw, the same flaw that has bedeviled Ubuntu since its inception: incomplete and hard-to-find documentation, especially Ubuntu-specific documentation.
Well the Linux desktop is certainly here and I can prove it because as of today I'm officially an Ubuntu user and even though things aren't perfect, I feel like I've finally escaped from jail. Those of you contemplating the move from Windows, however, had better be prepared to make some compromises and even a few sacrifices.
If you want to record your screen in Linux, XVidCap is the best solution. It's easy to install, able to capture fast without dropping frames, and offers lots of options.
If you're like me, you like the option of being able to open certain applications on the fly, simply by selecting them from your right click menu. It is possible to add your most used, or any applications to the Ubuntu right click menu with a tool called Nautilus Actions.
Jes Hall (canllaith), a KDE developer, has taken Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) through its paces and finds much to like. Amongst other changes in 7.10 she discusses, Jes admits that she enjoys the six month development cycle, saying:
The Eternity Screensaver plays animations of ray-traced scenes which took days or even weeks to generate. The reasoning is that these clips should look more impressive than anything which can be generated on-the-fly.
One big helper for surfing comfort and speed is provided through an add-on called Adblock Plus. As the name suggests, it eliminates ad banners. During installation, the user can subscribe to filter lists that are then automatically updated to recognize and block new domain addresses used to transport ads. The add-on also appends a "Block" tab onto Java and Flash animations and surfaces. One click and that particular object will never appear again.
Welcome to part 2 of our Linux Media Player Roundup. Today we'll be covering a few more Linux Media Players and showing you each of them, and what makes them special. But first, I'd like to add a few clarifications from part 1.
I have been using Ubuntu for quite a while now, but one thing I really dislike is that all the themes are huge space wasters compared to Windows XP. This finally got me angry enough to create a customized version of the Clearlooks theme that tries to be very compact but still maintain its beautiful look. I like the result quite a lot, I have been using this theme for more than two weeks now and it works great. It is especially nice for intense applications like Eclipse.
Ubuntu 7.10 introduced new default directories: Documents, Music, Pictures, Public, Templates, and Videos. Some of these are shown in the Nautilus side pane, the Places menu, and file dialogs. If you don't want one of these directories, deleting it will cause it to disappear from these locations. But want if you want to show your own directories?
After several weeks of anguish I've finally recreated my Windows XP file backup regime under Gutsy Gibbon, overcoming my fear of the Linux command line in the process.
In July I wrote a post which has been quite popular called: Turning Ubuntu's Brown Eyes Blue. This post was about changing themes in Ubuntu, getting away from the orange and brown colours and using mostly blue. Things have changed quite a bit since July and changing themes in the new Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) is a little bit different, therefore I thought I would offer some fresh advice.
The Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue #64 for the week for the week October 28th - November 3rd, 2007 is now available. In this issue we cover the Ubuntu Developer Summit for Hardy Heron, FOSSCamp, the release of Mythbuntu 7.10, Ubuntu-Illinois codesprint, and, as always, much much more!
While Windows advocates may smirk and say here we go again, as 2007 draws to a close I get the strong feeling that we may look back upon this year and recognize it with hindsight as the year that the Linux desktop finally arrived. There are a number of events that point to 2007 as being the turning point for Linux and it all started in January with the release of Windows Vista.
Firefox with its default configuration does not integrate well with kde . Now you will see how to setup firefox as default client in the following two cases:
My first impression of gOS is "Gee, I thought I liked Google." To put this into perspective, on the back of my car there is a license plate frame with the words "I'm Feeling Lucky."
This week, WalMart has begun selling a new computer called the gPC for the price of $199. Instead of using Microsoft Windows, this incredibly inexpensive Linux-based computer runs an operating system which is fittingly called "gOS".
