A little apprehensive coming to Jordan as single senior, My flight was late arriving and my luggage was lost, but my car and driver had been waiting patiently for me for over 2 hours. My driver was a very pleasant man who got me to my hotel and drove back to his office only to come back half an hour later to check that I was o k and the hotel was good. I couldn't thank him enough. Highly recommend this company for the care given to me.
We were greeted by our driver after we had picked up our luggage and cleared immigration. The driver took our luggage to the car and we were on our way to our hotel.
Excellent service. Polite and well mannered staff.
Great driver, waited for our late flight and stopped off on the way, very polite and helpful, thanks
Based on another review, I requested a driver named Shardi. I thought it was a long shot that I would get him, but sure enough it was him waiting for me at the airport. He was a great driver and answered any questions I had as he is very knowledgable of his country. His kindness set the tone for the rest of my trip in Jordan. Thank You Shardi and thank you Viator.

Driver was waiting for me and easy to find. Very friendly and informative. Great way to get to my hotel.

Our tour driver Muneer was great. We're very happy that he was our driver from airport arrival to visiting Mt. Nebo, Dead Sea and Petra. He was very informative, punctual and always asked us what we wish to do and was flexible to accommodate our requests. Thanks Muneer for making our tour interesting, pleasant and safe. Shoukran my friend.
Great experience! Our driver was waiting for us upon arrival and provided an easy and quick transfer to the city. He was very nice, spoke great English and proided some information about the local area. We booked all our tours through Viator so the driver who picked us up at the airport was our driver for the whole trip which was great, each day we were able to coordinate the next day's activities with him.
I was traveling with a friend and this was both of our first trips to the middle east, we felt much safer having arranged for a driver rather than taking a taxi at the airport. This was very safe and we were very glad we made this choice.
Also, one note on the airport. The signs say you can purchase a visa with a credit card but the agent at the desk told us he prefers cash and refused to accept a credit card. Furthermore, the ATM was out of cash. We were able to exchange USD at the exchange counter but be aware that you best off arriving with Jordanian Dinar.
My brother and myself arrived at Amman airport at about 1.30am in the morning, we were lucky to leave the plane first and proceeded straight to immigration where there were plenty of immigration officers and desks to choose from (beware if you don't have a entry visa you will need to go to the desk at the far left hand end and purchase your visa from this desk about 20JD each), after collecting our luggage we proceeded to the exit where our driver (Shardi) was waiting with the usual card with our names on it.
What a wonderful man Shardi was, being bright and cheerful even at that time in the morning, he loaded our luggage into the car and we left for our hotel in Amman (a transfer of about 1 hour).
Throughout the journey Shardi kept us informed of sights that we should consider seeing while on our holiday, his command of English was very good and by the end of our holiday (we had Shardi as our driver for the whole of our week stay) he became a good friend and someone we could trust and take his advice on many a matter. We would recommend any visitors thinking of having a driver to ask for Shardi......you will not be disappointed.
Driver was on time, pleasant, and a good driver.
Excellent experience. My driver was waiting in the arrivals hall with a large board showing my full name. He was friendly, courteous, fluent in English and knowledgeable of the country and travel related information. The transfer from Amman Airport to Petra was safe and efficient. I highly recommend this service.
Prabhu Kannan
Simple quick and easy.
Excellent service, courteous and polite driver.
Driver met me outside of baggage claim with a sign. Professional and personable, the driver gave me insight into Amman and Jordan. Excellent service, would highly recommend.
Very nice driver. He was on time and was very friendly.

I've been looking for one too. I can't say I've found one. I started making alignments for each layer of reinforcement which is very tedious and I don't recommend it.
I did a project with an MSE wall recently and built the wall using generic links. I did not model the tiebacks if that is what you need.
I used a preliminary corridor to establish the toe-of-wall and top-of-wall profiles and alignments. I can send you the road and wall assembly but it is pretty simple: From the shoulder a link width-and-slope targets the toe of wall, then a link slope-to-elevation targets the top-of-wall profile at a constant 1:6. Then a link-to-marked-point targets a previously-marked point on the road shoulder to finish off the top of the wall.
I used a separate corridor to develop the wall excavation volume.
Yeah, I'm looking for a subassembly that has the reinforcement too. But thanks for your help. I might be able to try that and get some of a design.
Hello, Jeff, I saw your post abbout the MSE wall , im trying to draw an mse retaing wall project, I been looking around if there is a lisp or a program that does that, any luck in your side?

Gun Ownership Is A Human Rights IssueSeptember 29, 2013To The Reader's Forum: Another mass shooting, this time in Washington, D..... EaglesWingsNo new gun laws! Taking guns from sane, law-abiding people are the ones being punished along with the criminals. What part of this doesn't this administration understand? If I'm overweight and my cholesteral is high, should we shut down the chocolate factories? Sentence the guilty for their crimes, don't sentence the innocent people too! 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » FirebrandThanks threestrikes and Carlaw, the voters need to indentify the grass root problem by which those elected offical stand against the 2nd Amendment. Many have crossed the line by ignoring constituant values and imposing thier personal will, in that case, its time to change that that seat. Especially in the case of Veterans that took the oath to support and defend the US Constitution and now want to take away many of those rights. I find those reps to be irresponsible and should be voted out. Way too much hipocricy. 3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » threestrikesout>>>"when a person that is elected and makes their grand standing comments against gun rights..." Aren't we supposed to find out the issues BEFORE WE ELECT THEM??? Wow. 3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » FirebrandFolks need to identify more elected officials that oppose your 2nd Amendment right. When a person that is elected and makes their grand standing comments against gun rights it should be known publicly. As with the case of Jamestown Council at Large Spitale, he has publicly stated he is opposed to gun rights in NYS and agrees with the Gov. Cuomo's safe act. Its election time and this is fact. 2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » 50s4everThe Aussies would take their guns back in a second. But they'll have to borrow ours to do it. 6 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » loneriderrr1threestrikes, one thing you need to realize about nonfiction. He is a dyed in the wool obamaite. Whatever the leftwing spews he believes. Along with many other left wing terrorists. All of the democrat party fall into this category as do way to many so called independents. Some claim the are independents but swallow everything Obama spews at them. 5 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » threestrikesoutSo, nonfiction, are you saying that the "useless laws" were useful at one time? I wonder what changed? Did the gun laws just go bad and change on their own, or do you think maybe society has changed? Once again, it's a people problem. Do you really think that stricter gun laws are going to keep guns from getting on the streets? It's a heart issue. When man proposes to do violence, he's going to accomplish his purpose by any means necessary. 8 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » nonfictionYes, we have laws but they aren't doing anything. We need to look at the laws get rid of the useless ones and put in meaningful legistlation. We need fewer but more effective laws that eliminate loopholes that allow undesirable people to get guns. The vast majority of the illegal guns on the streets were purchased legally at some point. Accountibilty for the orginally gun owner is an issue. You use DC and CHicago as reason why gun control doesn't work. Why don't we look at somewhere like Australia and see how it does work. 2 Agrees | 7 Disagrees | Report Abuse » whiskersDid duckster mean to use a "U" instead of "A" in his 9:30 AM today? 5 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » loneriderrr1Must be ducky didn't like me saying what I did about his use of the word "tards".

How many more do you propose we have. --- While a crazy may still attempt to shoot up a place, a few armed citizens scattered throughout the area could stop him before he caused as much carnage as is currently being done.---- "ALL" the mass murderers were insane yet we closed down most of our mental hospitals and put the patients on the streets until they commit a crime because the liberals said keeping them in the hospitals was inhumane.---- I think I'll keep my guns if you don't mind. Actually I think I will keep them even if you do mind.----Knowing a citizen "MAY" be armed will deter more crime than knowing all law abiding citizens are disarmed. 6 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » nonfiction"Would the next mass killer walk into a crowded mall and start blasting away if he knew everybody in there was armed" The guys crazy and it probably wouldnt stop him. Just as legal law biding gun owners have the right to carry, people have the right not to. I shouldn't feel that I need to carry gun at all times in order to protect myself from a lunatic. With this mind set why do we even have police? We live in a first world country, not the wild wild west. Are we just accepting that mass shootings, and other gun related deaths are a part of American lifestyle?

The legally, proper avenue obtained gun owning neighborhoods?

Well, after about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there, right where I had left it. It hadn't killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had been presented to do so. In fact, it hadn't even loaded itself. Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the media hype about how they kill people. Either the media is wrong, and it is the misuse of guns by criminals, or I have one of the laziest shotguns ever made. I must hurry off now and check my spoons. I hear they are making people fat.

Whenever I try to install something using Ubuntu Software Center, I get an error message saying:
Package dependencies cannot be resolved
This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.
And whenever I click the details-button below, all it says is "nautilus"
This also seems to be somehow the cause of the fact that if I try to upgrade Ubuntu, a message appears saying that some parts may be damaged, and a full upgrade is not possible. Although in the end, it doesn't upgrade at all.
It seems that nautilus is damaged, any way I can fix it?

Security Issues in Xpdf Make Waves
In the past, security bugs in the Xpdf PDF viewer have endangered Linux systems time and again, and projects that use Xpdf code are also affected.
Security researchers at Secunia have discovered three vulnerabilities in Xpdf 3.02. All three are located in the stream.cc file. The first bug which affects the "DCTStream::readProgressiveDataUnit()" function can lead to memory corruption on indexing an array. The other two bugs, one of which is in the "DCTStream::reset()" function and the other in "CCITTFaxStream::lookChar()", can lead to heap-based buffer overflows. In all three cases, a carefully crafted PDF file is required. If the attacker can trick a victim into opening the file, the attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code.
Secunia discovered the vulnerabilities in Xpdf 3.02 (with xpdf-3.02pl1.patch), however, other versions may also be affected. As many projects, such as Kpdf, Koffice, Cups and Poppler rely on source code by Xpdf, these projects are also affected, as Secunia has proved.
The developers of Xpdf have now released a patch to remove the vulnerabilities. Users who prefer not to build the application from scratch are advised to avoid PDFs from untrusted sources until their distributor releases a new package.

Staycations are so 2009. Families are visiting nearby landmarks, historical homes, and tourist sites—and you can cash in.
Keeping history alive is seeing a resurgence. The preservation of landmarks, archeological sites, historical battlefields, and the like, has seen a year-over-year growth rate of 16 percent, according to AnythingResearch.com. It seems consumers are still keeping a tight grip on their wallets, so when the urge for a getaway presents itself, more people are looking to stay local. "In general, smaller regional attractions have tended to do better as people have opted for less expensive, closer to home vacations, or 'staycations,'" says LeeAnn Donnelly, a representative for Biltmore House & Gardens, George Vanderbilt's family's estate that's now a tourist destination. AnythingResearch.com notes that many historical sites are being run by volunteers who get assistance from professional historians, conservators and preservation architects. One challenge for would-be entrepreneurs in this industry: More than half of the industry's revenue, which reached close to $1 million, came from public and private donations. Check out Inc.com's gallery of images of six great historical site businesses.

Application | Dilution | Species-Reactivity | Sensitivity | MW (kDa) | Source |
W | 1:1000 | Human, Monkey, Bovine | Endogenous | 60 | Rabbit |
Species cross-reactivity is determined by western blot.
Applications Key: W=Western Blotting, IF-IC=Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry), F=Flow Cytometry
- 3729:
- Western Blotting, Immunofluorescence, Flow
Specificity / Sensitivity
OSR1 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total OSR1 protein. This antibody does not cross-react with SPAK or other members of the GCK family.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues at the amino terminus of human OSR1. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from 293, HeLa, Jurkat and COS cells using OSR1 Antibody.
Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometric analysis of HeLa cells using OSR1 Antibody (blue) compared to a nonspecific negative control antibody (red).
Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of HeLa cells using OSR1 Antibody (green). Actin filaments have been labeled with Alexa Fluor® 555 phalloidin (red). Blue pseudocolor = DRAQ5® #4084 (fluorescent DNA dye).
SPAK (STE20/SPS1-related Pro/Ala-rich kinase) and OSR1 (oxidative stress responsive 1) are members of the GCK family serine/threonine kinases. Overexpression and in vitro studies demonstrate that SPAK is able to activate p38 MAP kinase indicating a possible role for SPAK in the stress response (1). Yeast two-hybrid screening revealed that SPAK and OSR1 bind to Na-K-2Cl cotransporters NKCC1 and NKCC2 and K-Cl cotransporter KCC3 (2). WNK1 and WNK4 phosphorylate SPAK at Thr243/247 and Ser380 (3-5). Similarly, WNK1 and WNK4 phosphorylate OSR1 at Thr185 and Ser315 (3, 4). Phosphorylation at these sites stimulates SPAK and OSR1 activity, leading to NKCC1 phosphorylation and enhanced NKCC1 activity (3-5). SPAK is also phosphorylated at Ser311 by PKCθ in response to T cell activation. Substitution of Ser311 with Ala or specific siRNA knock-down of SPAK dramatically reduces TCR/CD28-induced AP-1 activation, suggesting SPAK is involved in T cell signaling as well (6).

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- As Sen. Joe Manchin indicated a willingness Monday to re-examine views on gun control in the United States, his colleague in the Senate said he would support a renewed ban on assault weapons.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va, said Monday that Congress should enact stronger anti-gun laws, as well as legislation to create better access to mental-health care and stronger oversight over violent video games children play.
"Unfortunately, families lose loved ones every day as a result of gun violence. Too many young lives have been taken from us too soon," Rockefeller said. "Friday's unspeakable actions are another stark wakeup call that we must do more. This is not the time for soft words and empty promises, but a call for strong action."
Rockefeller voted for the 1994 legislation banning assault weapons. "It also included a ban of high capacity clips, and it's unacceptable that it hasn't been reauthorized.
"West Virginia has a proud hunting tradition and respect for the Second Amendment. But most hunters I talk with know that prohibiting the use of military-grade weapons or clips that can fire dozens of rounds in a matter of seconds will not impact those traditions, nor do they have a place on our streets. We need to pass a bill that will again prohibit such weapons," Rockefeller said.
Other members of Congress treaded more carefully around the issue.
"I think all of us woke up to a different nation Saturday morning, horrified by the details of the shooting ... and demanding explanations about the increasing frequency of mindless attacks on innocent people and, now, even on our children," said Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va.
"The circumstances of this tragedy are so horrible that it demands aggressive action. Our state and nation share a collective desire to try to find some way to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, and, God forbid, from happening in our own communities."
But Rahall also called himself "a lifelong defender of the Second Amendment" and said "The causes of violence in America are bigger and broader than just firearms. I want to hear from all sides before the Congress moves forward, so we can move forward together."
Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., said, "I am deeply saddened by the heartbreaking events in Newtown, Conn. There is no question that Friday's devastating shootings will ignite a debate.

The Alkali RPD Lite Roller Hockey Skates are the entry-level model in the Alkali RPD Skate Line. The RPD Lite showcases the completely redesigned Labeda Movement Chassis. These new frame features give players a lower center of gravity for balance, allows the player to turn sharper and it increases power transfer in each stride. The chassis holds (4) Alkali RPD Lite 82A Outdoor wheels that can withstand being used on rough outdoor surfaces like asphalt and concrete.
The Alkali RPD Lite Roller Hockey Skates are the entry-level model in the Alkali RPD Skate Line. The RPD Lite showcases the completely redesigned Labeda Movement Chassis that helps to recess the second wheel from the toe into the outsole. These new features give players a lower center of gravity for balance, a better turning radius and it increases power transfer in each stride. The chassis holds (4) Alkali RPD Lite 82A Outdoor wheels that can withstand being used on rough surfaces like asphalt and concrete.
The Alkali RPD Lite Adjustable Roller Hockey Skates are perfect for the young roller hockey player who is still growing. The RPD Lite features a unique dual toe tap adjustment system that allows the internal toe cap to lock into one of four sizes. To change sizes, simply rotate the tool-less adjustment dial on the side of the skate to extend or retract the internal toe cap. Because of the changing sizes, Alkali also included (4) different sizes of footbeds that are to be interchanged when a different size is selected, guaranteeing a great fit every time.
The Alkali CA5 Roller Hockey Skate is a great intermediate level skate from Alkali. It's a step up from the CA3 skate in that it offers a more advanced quarter package that includes AEPE foam with Guardshell for rigidity and 9mm Pro Spec tongue found on their higher level skates. The CA5 also includes a lighter and stronger fully extruded aircraft grade Aluminum chassis with all 80mm Labeda Millennium wheels.
Sizes Available: 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0
The Alkali CA4 Roller Hockey Skates offer good performance at a great price. Like the CA5 the CA4 features a AEPE and Guardshell quarter package providing great response and support. The CA4 also features a one-piece fully extruded aluminum chassis with the original Labeda Grippers.
Sizes Available: -
The Alkali CA3 Roller Hockey Skates are the most affordable skates in the Alkali line up. The CA3 skate features EVA compressed quarter panels and memory foam ankle pads for a comfortable fit. The skate also features an Aluminum two-piece frame with Labeda Shooter wheels great for both indoor and outdoor play.

As the so-called "fiscal cliff" looms over the country, some are worried that a cut to Medicare could become part of the country's cost-saving solution. At a Medicare seminar Tuesday some said not so fast.
"It really just, to me, feels like playing games... and using seniors to play that game," said Jeanne Crane, a first-time Medicare enrollee.
With the fiscal cliff looming in Washington, ideas are being kicked around on how government can save money. One of those ideas, is Medicare.
"The most important thing individuals are looking for is understanding Medicare, the basis of Medicare, the foundation... and the choices they have available," said Philip Alamond, Excellus Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
But those choices may get slimmer for new retirees. Among 15 possible ways that AARP says Congress could restructure Medicare, at the top of the list is a two-year increase to the eligibility age – from 65 to 67.
"I don't think that immediately, that should be anywhere near the top of the list," Crane said.
Jeanne Crane is a self-employed organizational consultant. She believes there are ways to increase federal revenue before cutting into senior citizens' livelihood.
"I very much believe in going after the top income earners first, I believe in changing capital gains - a lot of things in the mix."
AARP offers two differing viewpoints: on one hand, the organization points out that Americans are living longer, and we can't continue to afford taking care of 65 and 66-year-olds. On the other hand, AARP says if we eliminate Medicare for those age groups, they may just apply for Medicaid and overload that program as well."
Jeanne Crane will enter Medicare this year. She believes that 10 to 15 years down the road, may be time to raise the age – but she feels for anyone, who might have to suffer through that sooner.
"As I look to retire, or semi-retire, it's nice to know that I have coverage and I don't have to worry about what group could I get in - because as a single-paying person, it's just become astronomical."
And for 65- and 66-year-olds, could also become universal.

5 - L.A. Noire (PS3, 360)
We didn't have to see L.A. Noire running to know we were interested in it. As fans of films like L.A. Confidential and Chinatown, the idea of a detective drama set in a meticulous recreation of late-'40s Hollywood holds enormous appeal for us – especially when it's being handled by the publisher of Grand Theft Auto. That it was going to temper its action with slow, methodical detective work only intrigued us more.
However, it wasn't until we saw Noire in action that we got really excited for it. A big part of that is down to its eerily realistic, motion-captured faces – which, as it turns out, play an important part in the gameplay. As a detective, a big part of your job will involve watching suspects' faces to judge whether they're lying or hiding something, something that makes the game feel much more organic than your average hidden-object detective game. Throw in plenty of GTA-style shooting-and-driving gameplay (without the random havoc or sandbox approach), and L.A. Noire promises to be completely unlike anything we've played before. We're a little skeptical that something this ambitious will actually hit by the promised spring release date, but that doesn't make us any less eager for it.
4 - Portal 2 (PS3, 360, PC)
Back in 2007, Portal blue our minds so hard that our brains still mix up homonyms. Unfortunately, it also wrenched open an overstuffed cartoon closet which has yet to cease burying us under jokes about cake lies. Is it all too much? Has our anticipation for Portal 2 been tempered by oversaturation? Not at all!
If we know Valve like we think we do, we know that the moment Portal 2's first scene fades in from black, we'll feel just like we did in 2007. Well, not just like we did, because Portal 2 isn't just a new layer of identical cake, it's a brand-new cake. (Yeah, that's right, a cake analogy – what?)
Portal 2 is a cheesecake, maybe. With chocolate swirls and raspberries. The cream cheese is its rich, substantial continuation of Portal's story, which includes a cast of now-independent personality cores; the swirls are new puzzles and environmental toys (Pneumatic Diversity Vents!); and the raspberries are the added co-op mode, which looks decidedly scrumptious.
Valve's baking smells good to us, but if you're still experiencing Portal hype weariness, just consider the following: Hundreds of years later… in a decayed and overgrown Aperture Labs... GLaDOS is… STILL ALIVE!
It gives us chills. For reals.
3 - The Last Guardian (PS3)
If a collection of Team ICO's prior games makes it to number 12, you'd better believe its years-in-the-making third project will be in our top three. Actually, it was our number one choice last year, back when we foolishly thought it would release in 2010. No, Team ICO takes its sweet ass time – four years elapsed between ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, and now we're entering six for The Last Guardian.
But the wait will be worth it. Unquestionably. We have the utmost faith in this team, for its two prior games are borderline magical, and about as mystical and subtle as games can be. All we needed to see was the trailer, which showed a young boy running around ruins and caves with his giant man-eating eagle/cat/possum friend and we knew this was a must-have, day-one purchase. It looks to combine the platforming and puzzle-solving of ICO with the heartbreaking sadness and unstoppable tragedy of Colossus… and even if it's something completely different, it will be amazing. Just you wait.
2 - Batman: Arkham City (PS3, 360, PC)
You'd better believe the sequel to our 2009 Game of the Year would end up near the top of this countdown... and only a handful of votes kept it from taking #1 outright. What keeps us counting down the days to Batman: Arkham City's release with a feverish exhilaration worthy of comic book villain Calendar Man, however, is not merely the title or the opportunity to play a second helping of the first game. It's the assertion from developer Rocksteady, in every interview we've read, that the original was a nice test run, but only a fraction of what they truly believe they can accomplish with the DC superhero and his universe. Yeah, our brains are staggering a bit, too.
Yet everything revealed so far has confirmed this claim. Batman explored a small island before? Now he's gliding across a gigantic piece of Gotham City, surrounded by neon lights and towering skyscrapers. Combat included cool, slow-motion takedown moves? Now there are double and triple "executions" as well as simultaneous counters and the ability to use every one of Batman's gadgets, including new toys like smoke bombs, during the fight. Joker in the first game? Joker, Two-Face, Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, Hugo Strange and that's just what we know in the second game. Fan service cameos from lesser characters? Have a whole secondary mission starring those villains. No multiplayer? Multiplayer!
As long as Rocksteady doesn't add Robin, Arkham City looks to be another GOTY contender.
1 - Mass Effect 3 (PS3, 360, PC)
The first Mass Effect was awesome – it had a rich, fully-realized world, with a story and characters befitting an epic science fiction adventure. Its shooter/RPG hybrid combat suited a wide variety of play styles and was highly polished no matter what class you chose to play. But despite the original's exceptional achievement, Mass Effect 2 managed to improve on it in every way – it cut the tedious item inventory without sacrificing the other RPG aspects we love, and cut the terrible Mako driving without sacrificing its feeling of exploration. It had better characters, better writing, better combat, better weapons – better everything.
Currently, we only have one teaser to go on, and like any good teaser it leaves us with more questions than answers. Will it primarily take place on Earth? Will it take a cue from Cerberus and be more human-focused? The idea of leaving behind the diversity of the galaxy worries us, but we're also excited to see future Earth within the Mass Effect universe. At this point we don't even know if EA's recent comments about single-player games being "finished" will have any bearing on Mass Effect 3.
Despite all logic pointing toward BioWare creating another masterpiece, it's hard not to be anxious about Mass Effect's final chapter when we have so much invested in the series. Until we find out more, we can only hope that BioWare continues to improve the series at the same rate, although if that's the case, we're going to have to add an extra number to our ratings scale for Mass Effect 3.

R.A. Dickey will not be remembered for what he did before wearing a Rangers, Brewers, Mariners, Twins, Met's uniform. Nor will he ever be remembered for his mediocre fastball or equally mediocre changeup. He likely won't be remembered for his scrumptious beard. (Actually, I have no proof of that. He *should* be remembered for his facial hair, since all beards are regal and spiffy in nature and form, but I will leave that in the capable hands of history.) No one will remember that he was born without an ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow. Or that he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for awareness of human trafficking. Or even that he had been sexually abused as a child. While all these things are noteworthy, the truth of the matter is, he will most certainly always be remembered for throwing a very goofy pitch, and throwing it in a very special way. For baseball fans, like myself, who are enamored with such an unconventional baseball skill, this is still quite a special thing to be remembered for. Though we should at least try to remember the beard too.

Chris Narveson, his name makes me think of the insurance guy from Groundhog Day. Am I right or am I right-right? His name also would sound good recited by Chris Cornell. Chris Narveson, won't you come and wash away the rain? Won't you come. Won't you come. Narveson was in my top 80 starters. Let's see what I said there, "Hmm… I don't remember and I'm too lazy to click on the link to the actual blurb. No one actually reads stuff I quote from myself so I'm gonna pretend I just explained Narveson to a T." And that's me quoting me! Yesterday, he had the line of 6 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 5 Ks. He's also 29 years old, so I'd preach a bit of caution. He's good for Ks (7+ K/9), dangerous on walks and around a 4.00 ERA starter in the NL. So that's good, meh, serviceable. In any league deeper than 12 team, he should be owned. In 12 team leagues, I'd take the flyer where I had room. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Rickie Weeks – 2-for-4 with his 3rd homer in 4 games. On one hand, I'd sell him. On the other hand, who are you selling him for? On my third lesser known hand, I'm wearing a puppet while talking out of the corner of my mouth.
Please, blog, may I have some more?We're gonna try and turn over a new, positive leaf here at Razzball. No longer are we going to sing the blues when one of our favorites doesn't make the team. We're gonna emoticon all over your face for someone else. That other person just happens to be the guy replacing Mike Minor in the rotation. Three ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to introduce to you, Mr.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Oh, Hanley Ramirez is Hanley Ramirez, and a guy that will play a bit bruised giving it his all is a guy that will play a bit bruised giving it his all, and never the twain shall meet. (I think a "twain" is a train as pronounced by Elmer Fudd. Don't quote me on that though. It could be referring to Shania. My Google's broke so I'm shooting from the hip.) Hanley playing with Pujols' level of dedication is probably the best shortstop anyone has ever seen. Hanley as he is now is probably Andruw Jones in five years. As I've said before about Manny, insouciance doesn't age well. Hanley hasn't played since last Wednesday, but for now he's listed as day-to-day. Half of me says hold out hope for Hanley to return ASAP. The other half of me says he has 2 homers and 4 steals this month. You can probably find that production elsewhere in the last two weeks. Since Hanley is undroppable in most formats, it's all probably moot. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Chris Volstad – 9 IP, 0 ER, 7 baserunners, 3 Ks as he handily beat Carpenter (6 IP, 4 ER, 7 baserunners, 6 Ks) and the Cardinals. I'll tell ya what, when the Cards fold, they don't play.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hello, new readers. No, this isn't High Times dot com, but don't worry there's Doritos at the end of this post. Hey, don't skip ahead. You have to read the post first. Yes, the computer is talking to you. Aw, I'm just messing with you. The computer's not talking to you. You're just reading, silly! So, Bud Norris didn't come out of nowhere to be my new Razzpick du jour. Yesterday, he went six innings, giving up one run and K'd 4. In the not-too-decent past, I mentioned liking his upside. For our friends in Latin America, the caveat is his wildness. The love comes from the fact he has more Ks than innings. There's only ten other starters with more than 110 innings in the major leagues that can claim that. That's one starter for every finger. Unless Antonio Alfonseca is reading this. The wildness is still there, but he hasn't walked more than 3 batters in a game since April. I'd absolutely grab Norris for the last month if I needed Ks (who doesn't?) and some upside (of course you do). Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Chris Johnson – 4-for-6, 1 RBI in a 16th inning game that saw Roy Oswalt play left field and Tim Kurkjian's voice cracking at the sheer craziness of the game. Can you believe this game, fellas?!
Please, blog, may I have some more?'Uh-oh' doesn't really do the sight of Stephen Strasburg throwing a pitch and shaking his elbow in pain. Word is now he might go see Dr. Freeze. Usually a visit to Dr. Freeze means the pitcher will be out for at least a year. I think a visit to Dr.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Paul Konerko went 5-for-5 yesterday with his 31st homer. Paul Konerko is also winning your league for you. You had your back up against the wall. You took Hanley in the first round, Halladay in the 2nd and then you hit the 20th round and you were like, "Hmm… I totally screwed myself by not taking a 1st baseman. Do I take that guy on the Marlins with a girl's name or should I take Konerko?" When you took Konerko, you figured you would need to trade for someone. Whoa, what's this? Konerko's hitting? "Hey, baby, you're eating dinner by yourself tonight. Paul Konerko due up sixth this inning, according to Fantasycast. Now please don't come into my man cave." When you go to the White Sox Fantasy Camp in seven years, you can tell him how he won your league for you while ruining your marriage. These late round fliers in drafts are always so maddening. If I would've just took Konerko instead of Stupid-Face Headley. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Mark Buehrle – 7 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 4 Ks. His season ERA is down to 3.87 and 12 wins is pretty good, but that's now 8 Ks in 28 IP for August. Is there a less aptly-surnamed player in the game? Seems like Mark Crafty or Mark Wiley would be better names.
Please, blog, may I have some more?The save vulture is a scavenger bird. They see weakness in others' misfortune. A closer goes down or struggles and the save vulture swoops in and gnaws on the closer's handcuff. Peck, Brandon League, peck. The save vultures are indigenous to rural and metropolitan areas, especially if a trade is in progress. Goodbye, Rauch. Hello, Drew Storen, Tyler Clippard and Sean Burnett. Save vultures have trouble reproducing because they're usually overweight guys who would prefer to listen to sports news than what the girl they're dating is talking about. "How does my manicure look?" "Very pretty, Joel Hanrahan." "Did you just call me, Joel Hanrahan?" "No." Kevin Gregg, Kerry Wood, Joakim Soria any of them can be traded in the next 24 hours. If you need saves, there won't be many saves coming into the league after the trade deadline. If you need closers, now is the time to swoop, save vultures. Anyway, here's some more players to buy or sell this week in fantasy baseball:
Domonic Brown – If I keep talking about Domonic, I'm gonna have to do a spin-off blog, Razzbrown. My Domonic Brown fantasy is clickable.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Scott Podsednik traded to the Dodgers. Call 'em The Podsgers! Should be convenient for his wife — much closer to the Playboy mansion. Or so I read in an article in Playboy about Playboy while not looking at the pictures. So Pods comes to L.A.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

Loading Endpoint coprocessor from shellAmit Sela 2013-01-16, 12:48
Hi all,
It seems like I can't load Endpoint coprocessor from shell but I have no problem loading RegionObserver from shell. In both cases I pack a jar file, copy it to HDFS and load from shell using table_att but only the RegionObserver is loaded (I can see it in the webapp). Is it supposed to be like that ? bug maybe ? I'm using HBase 0.94.2 Thanks, Amit. |

Wednesday, Sept. 5, 2012 Packers 2012: Redeem Team? By Frank Clines & Art Kumbalek Seldom does an NFL team need to make amends for a season with only two losses. But when the second comes in...
Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2008 The Edge of Classical Present Music's season opener By Adam Lovinus "It's exciting to play new music there," Stalheim says. "You feel the history, and it's like the place is brought back to life." Bringing the feel of old Turner Hall back to life is Sofia Gubaidulina's Witty Waltzing and Igor Stravinsky's Ragtime, two compositions that turn back the clock to the days when the ballroom hosted formal dances. Caroline Mallonee's Keeping Time In a Bottle, a variation on 100 Bottles of Beer in which musicians play empty beer bottles, is a tongue-in-cheek throwback to the old German beer hall tradition. Elena Kats-Chernin's Charleston Noir and Randall Woolf's Hee Haw are digitally sequenced modern variants of antiquated dance numbers . . .
Friday, June 20, 2008 Friends of Art Art Preview By Peggy Sue Dunigan The Milwaukee art community showcases the 46th annual Lakefront Festival of Arts this weekend. The event, organized by the Milwaukee Art Museum's Friends of Art, exhibits an array of exceptionally talented individuals from June 20 to June 22. This nationally acclaimed juried festival features more than 170 artists, including Wisconsin's Arthur Bartkowiak, Mike Dretzka, Shelby Keefe, Kim Koch, Deone Jahnke, Katie Musolff, Mark Porter and Micheal Santini . . .
Tuesday, May 27, 2008 Springtime Classics Classical Preview By John Jahn Describing a piece of music that combines Russian folk music and Asian-inflected themes as "the peace-loving songs of the conquered and their conquerors joined in harmony" may be an almost alien thought to our 21st-century ears, but such was the thinking of many composers during the 19th . . .
Wednesday, May 7, 2008 Open Invitations Art Preview By Peggy Sue Dunigan A new art gallery creates excitement by turning previously bare walls into vehicles for fresh, contemporary work. Following are some of the galleries that have recently opened or are set to open this week: Primum Marketing Communications opens an intimate gallery in its second-floor conference room at 400 E. Wisconsin Ave., Suite 2A. Currently on display is "American Industrial Art," featuring found objects left over from the Beloit Corp. The exhibit presents reinterpretations . . .
Wednesday, April 30, 2008 Wild Space's History Lesson Dance Preview By Paul Smaxwill In 1870, immigrants from the Kaszuby region in northwestern Poland and Germany took up residence on a peninsula between the Milwaukee and Kinnickinnic rivers, finding it a suitable substitute for the Hel Peninsula on the Baltic coast. After digging a channel to create an isolated island, they lived for many years on this small patch of land, subsisting on the fishing industry which was not only a food source, but also made up their entire economy. By 1920, however, the city had begun to commandeer Jones Island for use in the development of a more lucrative and industrialized harbor. Considered "squatters," the Kaszubian and German immigrants were forced to move from the area, their presence and impact on the city largely forgotten.
Wednesday, April 23, 2008 The Art of Migration Art Preview By Peggy Sue Dunigan Migrating across a country's border requires courage. While this journey inspires hope for an improved future, it also necessitates perseverance. Expressing these themes visually and creatively, the exhibition "Caras Vemos, Corazones no Sabemos: Faces Seen, Hearts Unknown, The Human Landscape of Mexican Migration" documents the fluidity between the Mexican-American border as well as the intermingling of both cultures.
Tuesday, April 22, 2008 Weighing Romance Theater Preview By Russ Bickerstaff Playwright Neil LaBute first came to the attention of national audiences with 1993's In the Company of Men, a successful play about a pair of misogynists looking to ruin the life of an innocent girl.
