Staycations 2011
The Little Mexico Walking Tour
As a kid, Dina Leor loved Mexico so much that she planned to run away from her mom on a family vacation there. That scheme didn't quite pan out, but now as an adult, she stays connected to the country with her Mexican folk-art store, La Sirena (27 E 3rd St between Bowery and Second Ave; 212-780-9113, lasirenanyc.com). She also leads tours through the Little Mexico section of Jackson Heights to introduce her fellow New Yorkers to the culture and charms of the land south of the border. The outing begins with guacamole at a traditional family-owned Mexican bakery and restaurant, then heads to religious-iconography shops, food depots with unusual imported fruits and vegetables (including the most diverse selection of chilies you can imagine), and clothing boutiques with items like cowboy gear and traditional dance costumes. Along the way, you'll also hit a DVD store that sells modern and old-school Mexican movies, including hard-to-find classics dating as far back as the 1930s. Third or fourth Saturday of the month or by appointment. Next tour: June 25 noon; $15. Call 212-780-9113 for reservations and meet-up location.

The Nashville Symphony kicks off the new year with âMozart & Strauss,â a program of music including tone poems by Richard Strauss; Mozartâs âSymphony No. 39,â and Karol Szymanowskiâs âViolin Concerto No. 1.â The latter is considered an under-appreciated gem of the repertoire and will feature guest soloist Jennifer Koh.
âMozart & Straussâ will be performed at 7 p.m. Jan. 10 and 8 p.m. Jan. 11 and 12 at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.
The program opens with Straussâ âDon Juanâ and concludes with âTill Eulenspiegel Lustige Streicheâ (âThe Merry Pranksterâ). These are tone poems, musical compositions intended to inspire imagery in the minds of listeners.
One goal of the program is to highlight some of this music â music first explored by Strauss, Franz Liszt and to some extent Beethoven, explained Giancarlo Guerrero, Nashville Symphonyâs music director. Another is to encourage audiences to think about different ways of listening to music.
And the Mozart connection? For Guerrero, it is that Straussâ music sounds the way Mozartâs likely would have had he lived in the early part of the 20th century.
Mozart and Strauss are familiar names to anyone with even a passing acquaintance with classical music; Szymanowski, on the other hand, might be something of an unknown to many. His âViolin Concerto No. 1â is a dramatic piece filled with searing passages for the soloist that, combined with the accompanying orchestration, create a charged mood.
âItâs an incredibly sensual piece. That kind of coloring heâs able to get from the orchestra is incredible,â Koh said. She has performed the piece a number of times and has even recorded it. (Her latest release is the well-received âBach and Beyond.â)
âIn a way itâs about self-discovery. I feel like it deserves to be heard a lot more than it is and itâs also a really accessible work â and itâs a virtuosic work for the orchestra as well as for me,â Koh continued.
â(It) is one of those pieces that the composer was not really thinking about whether the soloist had to fight a battle with the orchestra,â Guerrero said. âBesides having an entire wind section and brass section, it calls for two harps, piano, celesta, the percussion uses a huge battery... â so itâs an incredibly colorful piece that becomes almost like a tone poem for violin and orchestra instead of an actual concerto.â
In addition to featuring Kohâs distinctive spirited musicianship, the Szymanowski concerto also allows Guerrero to show off his orchestra.
Guerrero said, âOf the entire season, Iâm almost ready to say that this is probably the most technically challenging program for the orchestra.
âAt this stage of my relationship with the orchestra, I can basically put a program like this in front of them and theyâre going to be able to not only play it beautifully, but take it to the next level.â

The Internet Moon Is A Series Of Tubes!
So apparently the moon might consist of a network of interconnected tubes, like Swiss cheese. OMG the astronauts are gonna eat it! AAAAAAAAAAH I'M SO JEALOUS!
Images have revealed a hole on the Moon's surface that is at least 260 feet deep and may lead to an underground tunnel more than 1,200 feet wide which is part of an entire network of such winding tubes.
Scientists are hoping for clearer shots from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, but the impression so far is that such a tunnel network could provide shelter for astronauts or potential future Moon colonists.
Two words: giant space worms. Shut up, the giant is silent! But only while he sleeps. Kidding, he's a snorer! I'm not insane, you're insane! Plus a jerk.
Newly Discovered Hole On Moon Leads To Network Of Tubes [gizmodo]
And it's all mine! All mine -- get it?! Because not only am I claiming it all for myself, but mining is what you do to get at precious metals. That or rob a jewelry store amirite?! I'M COMING FOR YOU, KAY'S! According a recent NASA probe, the moon is chock-full of titanium... / Continue →

Snowboard Startup needs your help!
Hey guys/gals,
First time poster here but I have lurked on and off for a number of years. I've been boarding for 16 years and am a Level 1 Snowboard instructor. I am going to be launching a snowboard product and startup company in the next few months and plan to have the product in stores next fall. I can't say much about it at this point due to the patent not being finalized but I think it is a very cool product and I think you will to. What I need some help with is my Brand Name that will appeal to snowboarders of all ages and sexes. I have a logo that I like and plan to use but having trouble with the other half of the equation. We plan to release soft goods with our brand once the new product is established so I need a name/logo that YOU guys/gals would want to wear on a hat, hoodie, beanie, T-shirt etc. Here are my frontrunners for our Brand name. I would really appreciate it if you could vote for the one you like and maybe leave a comment/suggestion on how to make it better. If you don't like either one than I would really like any suggestions you might have. OPTION 1 The idea behind this is: To someone who doesn't snowboard/ski a snow covered windswept mountain is a Wasteland. However, to those of us who love this sport, that is where we want to be. Industries can be swapped out for Boardwear, Unlimited, whatever. OPTION 2 The idea behind this is: I don't really have a hook built into this name other than water of the frozen variety is pretty damn important to snowboarding =) H20 Unlimited is also high on my list instead of industries. Keep in mind that I am a photoshop hack and the end result logo will be designed by a professional. Main feedback I need is on the name and the snowflake logo. OPTION 3 Both your ideas suck bro. THIS is what you should do... We will be rolling out a Kickstarter campaign later this year to help raise both funding and awareness of our new product. Thanks in advance for your feedback! |

Oh joy another new fucking company for me to mock because it sucks. You're a startup and you don't have a brand name. How unprepared were you with your business plan? Seriously? You're offering nothing to this site and asking of it. Fuck off!

I just trademarked both names, now you can buy the trademark from me but I'll only charge you double as a forum member discount. But no really, a public poll on what to name a brand is a terrible idea. And if you have to explain the reason behind the concept then the concept fails.

Is your start up a refuse recycling home snow maker? Because waste land sounds dumb I'd call it the ass blaster snow machine 4000. Why 4000? Because it's better than the 3,999 before it that's why!

Acquired RHPs Angel Sanchez, Steve Ames, and Josh Wall from the Dodgers for RHP Ricky Nolasco and International Bonus Slot 4. [7/6] The Marlins added three pitchers with varying degrees of arm strength. The top prospect in the deal is 23-year old right-hander Angel Sanchez. Sanchez has a chance to remain a starter, with three pitches that could all rate at least average. His fastball sits in the low 90s and bumps 94 with improving control, and his slider and changeup have both flashed average according to scouts in the Midwest League this summer. Sanchez still has plenty of development remaining but he has the ceiling of a no. 4 starter. The Marlins also add two middle relief prospects in right-handers Steve Ames and Josh Wall. Ames drew plenty of praise after a lights out performance in the Double-A Southern League in 2012, and he was added to the 40-man roster as a result. He has continued to find success in Triple-A this year, firing fastballs in the low 90s and sliders that flash in the solid-average range. Both pitches can work at the big-league level but lack the crispness to miss bats in high-leverage situations.

After Carotid Artery Surgery: At Home
You'll start feeling back to normal within a day or two of getting home. But don't forget that you just had surgery. You need to take it easy, even if you feel fine. Follow any instructions your doctor gives you. In most cases, stitches dissolve on their own.
Speeding Your Recovery
The following tips can help speed your recovery:
Spend your first few days relaxing at home. You can read, watch TV, or do other quiet, restful activities.
Take medications as instructed.
Don't drive until your doctor says it's okay. This will most likely take
1–2 weeks. -
Once your doctor says you can shower again, it's okay to get the incision area wet. But don't scrub it.
If you shave, be careful around the wound. You may want to use an electric razor.
When to Call Your Doctor
Your neck swells.
There's oozing from the wound.
An arm or a leg becomes numb or weak.
You have sudden changes in vision or loss of vision in one eye.
You have trouble speaking.
You have a severe headache or eye pain on the same side of the body you had surgery on.

Haumea, minor-planet designation 136108 Haumea, is a dwarf planet[20] located beyond Neptune's orbit. Just one-third the mass of Pluto,[nb 2] it was discovered in 2004 by a team headed by Mike Brown of Caltech at the Palomar Observatory in the United States and, in 2005, by a team headed by J. L. Ortiz at the Sierra Nevada Observatory in Spain, though the latter claim has been contested. On September 17, 2008, it was recognized as a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and named after Haumea, the Hawaiian goddess of childbirth.
Haumea's extreme elongation makes it unique among known dwarf planets. Although its shape has not been directly observed, calculations from its light curve suggest it is an ellipsoid, with its major axis twice as long as its minor. Nonetheless, its gravity is believed sufficient for it to have relaxed into hydrostatic equilibrium, making it a dwarf planet. This elongation, along with its unusually rapid rotation, high density, and high albedo (from a surface of crystalline water ice), are thought to be the results of a giant collision, which left Haumea the largest member of a collisional family that includes several large trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and its two known moons, Hi'iaka and Namaka.
Haumea is a plutoid,[21] a dwarf planet residing beyond Neptune's orbit. Its status as a dwarf planet means it is presumed to be massive enough to have been rounded by its own gravity but not to have cleared its neighbourhood of similar objects. Although Haumea appears to be far from spherical, its ellipsoidal shape is thought to result from its rapid rotation, in much the same way that a water balloon stretches out when tossed with a spin, and not from a lack of sufficient gravity to overcome the compressive strength of its material.[20] Haumea was initially listed as a classical Kuiper belt object (classical KBO) in 2006 by the Minor Planet Center, but no longer.[1] The nominal trajectory suggests that it is in a fifth-order 7:12 resonance with Neptune[nb 3] since the perihelion distance of 35 AU is near the limit of stability with Neptune.[3] There are precovery images of Haumea dating back to March 22, 1955 from the Palomar Mountain Digitized Sky Survey (observatory code #261).[2] Further observations of the orbit will be required to verify its dynamic status.
Discovery controversy[edit]
Two teams claim credit for the discovery of Haumea. Mike Brown and his team at Caltech discovered Haumea in December 2004 on images they had taken on May 6, 2004. On July 20, 2005, they published an online abstract of a report intended to announce the discovery at a conference in September 2005.[22] At around this time, José Luis Ortiz Moreno and his team at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía at Sierra Nevada Observatory in Spain found Haumea on images taken on March 7–10, 2003.[23] Ortiz emailed the Minor Planet Center with their discovery on the night of July 27, 2005.[23]
Brown initially conceded discovery credit to Ortiz,[24] but came to suspect the Spanish team of fraud upon learning that his observation logs were accessed from the Spanish observatory the day before the discovery announcement. These logs included enough information to allow the Ortiz team to precover Haumea in their 2003 images, and they were accessed again just before Ortiz scheduled telescope time to obtain confirmation images for a second announcement to the MPC on July 29. Ortiz later admitted he had accessed the Caltech observation logs but denied any wrongdoing, stating he was merely verifying whether they had discovered a new object.[25]
IAU protocol is that discovery credit for a minor planet goes to whoever first submits a report to the MPC (Minor Planet Center) with enough positional data for a decent determination of its orbit, and that the credited discoverer has priority in choosing a name. However, the IAU announcement on September 17, 2008, that Haumea had been accepted as a dwarf planet, did not mention a discoverer. The location of discovery was listed as the Sierra Nevada Observatory of the Spanish team,[21][26] but the chosen name, Haumea, was the Caltech proposal; Ortiz's team had proposed "Ataecina", named for the ancient Iberian goddess of Spring.[23]
Until it was given a permanent name, the Caltech discovery team used the nickname "Santa" among themselves, as they had discovered Haumea on December 28, 2004, just after Christmas.[27] The Spanish team were the first to file a claim for discovery to the Minor Planet Center (MPC), in July 2005. On July 29, 2005, Haumea was given the temporary designation 2003 EL61, with the "2003" based on the date of the Spanish discovery image.[Is the EL61 not based on the Spanish discovery image?] On September 7, 2006, it was numbered and admitted into the official minor planet catalogue as (136108) 2003 EL61.
Following guidelines established by the IAU that classical KBOs be given names of mythological beings associated with creation,[28] in September 2006 the Caltech team submitted formal names from Hawaiian mythology to the IAU for both (136108) 2003 EL61 and its moons, in order "to pay homage to the place where the satellites were discovered".[29] The names were proposed by David Rabinowitz of the Caltech team.[20] Haumea is the matron goddess of the island of Hawaiʻi, where the Mauna Kea Observatory is located. In addition, she is identified with Papa, the goddess of the earth and wife of Wākea (space),[30] which is appropriate because 2003 EL61 is thought to be composed almost entirely of solid rock, without the thick ice mantle over a small rocky core typical of other known Kuiper belt objects.[31][32] Lastly, Haumea is the goddess of fertility and childbirth, with many children who sprang from different parts of her body;[30] this corresponds to the swarm of icy bodies thought to have broken off the dwarf planet during an ancient collision.[32] The two known moons, also believed to have formed in this manner,[32] are thus named after two of Haumea's daughters, Hiʻiaka and Nāmaka.[31]
The proposal by the Ortiz team, Ataecina, did not meet IAU naming requirements, because Ataecina is not a creation deity. (See Ataecina#Dwarf planet.)
Orbit and rotation[edit]
Haumea has a typical orbit for a classical Kuiper-belt object, with an orbital period of 283 Earth years, a perihelion of 35 AU, and an orbital inclination of 28°.[7] It passed aphelion in early 1992,[19] and is currently more than 50 AU from the Sun.[18]
Haumea's orbit has a slightly greater eccentricity than the other members of its collisional family. This is thought to be due to Haumea's weak fifth-order[nb 3] 12:7 orbital resonance with Neptune gradually modifying its initial orbit over the course of a billion years,[32][33] through the Kozai effect, which allows the exchange of an orbit's inclination for increased eccentricity.[32][34][35]
With a visual magnitude of 17.3,[18] Haumea is the third-brightest object in the Kuiper belt after Pluto and Makemake, and easily observable with a large amateur telescope.[8] However, since the planets and most small Solar System bodies share a common orbital alignment from their formation in the primordial disk of the Solar System, most early surveys for distant objects focused on the projection on the sky of this common plane, called the ecliptic.[36] As the region of sky close to the ecliptic became well explored, later sky surveys began looking for objects that had been dynamically excited into orbits with higher inclinations, as well as more distant objects, with slower mean motions across the sky.[37][38] These surveys eventually covered the location of Haumea, with its high orbital inclination and current position far from the ecliptic.
Haumea displays large fluctuations in brightness over a period of 3.9 hours, which can only be explained by a rotational period of this length.[39] This is faster than any other known equilibrium body in the Solar System, and indeed faster than any other known body larger than 100 km in diameter.[8] This rapid rotation is thought to have been caused by the impact that created its satellites and collisional family.[32]
Physical characteristics[edit]
Since Haumea has moons, the mass of the system can be calculated from their orbits using Kepler's third law. The result is 4.2×1021 kg, 28% the mass of the Plutonian system and 6% the mass of the Earth's Moon. Nearly all of this mass is in Haumea.[13][40]
Size, shape, and composition[edit]
The size of a Solar System object can be deduced from its optical magnitude, its distance, and its albedo. Objects appear bright to Earth observers either because they are large or because they are highly reflective. If their reflectivity (albedo) can be ascertained, then a rough estimate can be made of their size. For most distant objects, the albedo is unknown, but Haumea is large and bright enough for its thermal emission to be measured, which has given an approximate value for its albedo and thus its size.[12] However, the calculation of its dimensions is complicated by its rapid rotation. The rotational physics of deformable bodies predicts that over as little as a hundred days,[8] a body rotating as rapidly as Haumea will have been distorted into the equilibrium form of a scalene ellipsoid. It is thought that most of the fluctuation in Haumea's brightness is caused not by local differences in albedo but by the alternation of the side view and end view as seen from Earth.[8]
The rotation and amplitude of Haumea's light curve place strong constraints on its composition. If Haumea had a low density like Pluto, with a thick mantle of ice over a small rocky core, its rapid rotation would have elongated it to a greater extent than the fluctuations in its brightness allow. Such considerations constrain its density to a range of 2.6–3.3 g/cm3.[8][nb 4] This range covers the values for silicate minerals such as olivine and pyroxene, which make up many of the rocky objects in the Solar System. This suggests that the bulk of Haumea is rock covered with a relatively thin layer of ice. A thick ice mantle more typical of Kuiper belt objects may have been blasted off during the impact that formed the Haumean collisional family.[32]
The denser the object in hydrostatic equilibrium, the more spherical it must be for a given rotational period, placing constraints on Haumea's possible dimensions. Fitting its accurately known mass, its rotation, and its inferred density to an equilibrium ellipsoid predicts that Haumea is approximately the diameter of Pluto along its longest axis and about half that at its poles. Since no observations of occultations of stars by Haumea or occultations of the dwarf planet with its moons have yet been made, direct, precise measurements of its dimensions, like those that have been made for Pluto, do not yet exist.
Several ellipsoid-model calculations of Haumea's dimensions have been made. The first model produced after Haumea's discovery was calculated from ground-based observations of Haumea's light curve at optical wavelengths: it provided a total length of 1,960 to 2,500 km and a visual albedo (pv) greater than 0.6.[8] The most likely shape is a triaxial ellipsoid with approximate dimensions of 2,000 x 1,500 x 1,000 km, with an albedo of 0.71.[8] Observations by the Spitzer Space Telescope give a diameter of 1,150+250
−100 km and an albedo of 0.84+0.1
−0.2, from photometry at infrared wavelengths of 70 μm.[12] Subsequent light-curve analyses have suggested an equivalent circular diameter of 1,450 km.[41] In 2010 an analysis of measurements taken by Herschel Space Telescope together with the older Spitzer Telescope measurements yielded a new estimate of the equivalent diameter of Haumea—about 1300 km.[10] These independent size estimates overlap at an average geometric mean diameter of roughly 1,400 km. This makes Haumea one of the largest trans-Neptunian objects discovered,[12] smaller than Eris, Pluto, probably Makemake, and possibly 2007 OR10, and larger than Sedna, Quaoar, and Orcus.
In 2005, the Gemini and Keck telescopes obtained spectra of Haumea which showed strong crystalline water ice features similar to the surface of Pluto's moon Charon.[15] This is peculiar, because crystalline ice forms at temperatures above 110 K, while the surface temperature of Haumea is below 50 K, a temperature at which amorphous ice is formed.[15] In addition, the structure of crystalline ice is unstable under the constant rain of cosmic rays and energetic particles from the Sun that strike trans-Neptunian objects.[15] The timescale for the crystalline ice to revert to amorphous ice under this bombardment is on the order of ten million years,[42] while trans-Neptunian objects have been in their present cold-temperature locations for timescales of thousands of millions of years.[33] Radiation damage should also redden and darken the surface of trans-Neptunian objects where the common surface materials of organic ices and tholin-like compounds are present, as is the case with Pluto. Therefore, the spectra and colour suggest Haumea and its family members have undergone recent resurfacing that produced fresh ice. However, no plausible resurfacing mechanism has been suggested.[17]
Haumea is as bright as snow, with an albedo in the range of 0.6–0.8, consistent with crystalline ice.[8] Other large TNOs such as Eris appear to have albedos as high or higher.[43] Best-fit modeling of the surface spectra suggested that 66% to 80% of the Haumean surface appears to be pure crystalline water ice, with one contributor to the high albedo possibly hydrogen cyanide or phyllosilicate clays.[15] Inorganic cyanide salts such as copper potassium cyanide may also be present.[15]
However, further studies of the visible and near infrared spectra suggest a homomorphous surface covered by an intimate 1:1 mixture of amorphous and crystalline ice, together with no more than 8% organics. The absence of ammonia hydrate excludes cryovolcanism and the observations confirm that the collisional event must have happened more than 100 million years ago, in agreement with the dynamic studies.[44] The absence of measurable methane in the spectra of Haumea is consistent with a warm collisional history that would have removed such volatiles,[15] in contrast to Makemake.[45]
In addition to the large fluctuations in Haumea's light curve due to the body's shape, which affect all colours equally, smaller independent colour variations seen in both visible and near-infrared wavelengths show a region on the surface that differs both in colour and in albedo.[14][46] More specifically, a large dark red area on Haumea's bright white surface was seen in September 2009, possibly an impact feature, which indicates an area rich in minerals and organic (carbon-rich) compounds, or possibly a higher proportion of crystalline ice.[39][47] Thus Haumea may have a mottled surface reminiscent of Pluto, if not as extreme.
Two small satellites have been discovered orbiting Haumea, (136108) Haumea I Hiʻiaka and (136108) Haumea II Namaka.[21] Brown's team discovered both in 2005, through observations of Haumea using the W.M. Keck Observatory.
Hiʻiaka, at first nicknamed "Rudolph" by the Caltech team,[48] was discovered January 26, 2005.[49] It is the outer and, at roughly 310 km in diameter, the larger and brighter of the two, and orbits Haumea in a nearly circular path every 49 days.[50] Strong absorption features at 1.5 and 2 micrometres in the infrared spectrum are consistent with nearly pure crystalline water ice covering much of the surface.[51] The unusual spectrum, along with similar absorption lines on Haumea, led Brown and colleagues to conclude that capture was an unlikely model for the system's formation, and that the Haumean moons must be fragments of Haumea itself.[33]
Namaka, the smaller, inner satellite of Haumea, was discovered on June 30, 2005,[52] and nicknamed "Blitzen". It is a tenth the mass of Hiʻiaka, orbits Haumea in 18 days in a highly elliptical, non-Keplerian orbit, and as of 2008 is inclined 13° from the larger moon, which perturbs its orbit.[53] The relatively large eccentricities together with the mutual inclination of the orbits of the satellites are unexpected as they should have been damped by the tidal effects. A relatively recent passage by a (3:1) resonance might explain the current excited orbits of the Haumean moons.[11]
At present, the orbits of the Haumean moons appear almost exactly edge-on from Earth, with Namaka periodically occulting Haumea.[54] Observation of such transits would provide precise information on the size and shape of Haumea and its moons,[55] as happened in the late 1980s with Pluto and Charon.[56] The tiny change in brightness of the system during these occultations will require at least a medium-aperture professional telescope for detection.[55][57] Hiʻiaka last occulted Haumea in 1999, a few years before discovery, and will not do so again for some 130 years.[58] However, in a situation unique among regular satellites, Namaka's orbit is being greatly torqued by Hiʻiaka, preserving the viewing angle of Namaka–Haumea transits for several more years.[53][55][57]
Collisional family[edit]
Haumea is the largest member of its collisional family, a group of astronomical objects with similar physical and orbital characteristics thought to have formed when a larger progenitor was shattered by an impact.[32] This family is the first to be identified among TNOs and includes—beside Haumea and its moons—(55636) 2002 TX300 (≈364 km), (24835) 1995 SM55 (≈174 km), (19308) 1996 TO66 (≈200 km), (120178) 2003 OP32 (≈230 km), and (145453) 2005 RR43 (≈252 km).[3] Brown et al. proposed that the family were a direct product of the impact that removed Haumea's ice mantle,[32] but a second proposal suggests a more complicated origin: that the material ejected in the initial collision instead coalesced into a large moon of Haumea, which was later shattered in a second collision, dispersing its shards outwards.[59] This second scenario appears to produce a dispersion of velocities for the fragments that is more closely matched to the measured velocity dispersion of the family members.[59]
The presence of the collisional family could imply that Haumea and its "offspring" might have originated in the scattered disc. In today's sparsely populated Kuiper belt, the chance of such a collision occurring over the age of the Solar System is less than 0.1 percent.[60] The family could not have formed in the denser primordial Kuiper belt because such a close-knit group would have been disrupted by Neptune's migration into the belt—the believed cause of the belt's current low density.[60] Therefore it appears likely that the dynamic scattered disc region, in which the possibility of such a collision is far higher, is the place of origin for the object that generated Haumea and its kin.[60]
Because it would have taken at least a billion years for the group to have diffused as far as it has, the collision which created the Haumea family is believed to have occurred very early in the Solar System's history.[3]

STLRZ D something isn't right when they create a "Family guide for eating fish from Wisconsin".

[quote=stlrz d]Bass are a great sport fish and a wonderful species to catch. Unfortunately, the big fish are becoming harder and harder to find. Too many people keeping and eating a fish that in all honesty is not a good eater...especially when they get to 19+ inches in size. Keep the smaller ones if you must. Imo, big bass are to be treasured by many and the CPR (catch, photo, release) program is striving to make sure it stays that way. Nothing sadder than seeing someone with a stringer full of 2 or 3 pound bass. Those creatures have reached the ripe old age of 7+ years and are the prime breeders in any fishery. Such a waste to remove them. [/quote:1egjmo4n]Originally Posted by anothersteelerfan

I had a trib member pm me and say they told them something different.
But what I find funny is they told anyone they gave him a stern talking to yet the 6 a.m. thread all posts criticizing them and nutsack was deleted yet the thread in question to this incident was left intact.
Like a say it wasn't a big deal to me, however that's going to turn a lot of people of my gender off from posting there. The only reason I complained on him was I thought that would get rid of him because I was tired of him constantly attacking other members and knew there were some good posters that he did this to, stopped posting as much or at all.
Did they ever reveal his other identity?

Budget Travel Magazine published this article a couple of weeks ago, so I thought I'd share! You really can't beat the prices. Move quickly though, these deals expire soon. Some highlights:
Up for some camping? Fall is the perfect season for it! Nights are cool, days are pleasant, and the leaves make daily hikes unimaginably pretty. Crawford Notch Campgrounds in New Hampshire offers tent sites for only $29 or cabins for $64.
Another good bet in North Hampshire is the White Trellis Motel in North Conway, which is offering rooms at $69 during the week and $79 on the weekends. Hurry! Leaves are changing quickly up there.
The next two weeks are the last weeks you can take advantage of the Moose Watching Tour and Lodging Package for $119, at the Moose Mountain Inn. 2 night minimum stay. Sleep in a comfy bed and maybe see some moose! Hopefully not in your room.
Zoom Zoom – rent a convertible and check out the sights and sounds of Cape Cod. You can stay for two nights at the Hampton Inn in Plymouth, Massachusetts, for $150/night including convertible rental. Fun! I did this sort of thing a number of years ago on my own and it was one of the best weekend trips I'd ever taken.
Happy travels from one autumn lover to the next.

As a baby, my son, Julian, was what you'd call "a good eater." He took to nursing like a champ. He loved purees from his first bite of pears—and ate pretty much anything we offered: beets, parsnips, rutabagas. Finger foods were a hit. Bits of salmon, squash, beans—he ate them all. I was proud. And then I was humbled. Right around Jules's second birthday, he stopped eating spinach. He quit carrots. He still ate corn—but only if it was off the cob.
"Picky eating is a normal rite of passage," says Jill Castle, R.D., a pediatric nutrition expert in Nashville and a mom of four. "All toddlers at some point demonstrate some level of pickiness." Fortunately, fussy eating is usually a fleeting stage (true for Jules, who, now 3, eats mostly anything). The thing is, your kid's dissing of what you're dishing up rarely has anything to do with the food itself. Knowing what's behind it, though, can help you push through a finicky phase much faster.
Reason your child's refusing: Two words—Miss Independent.
What's happening: If "the orange one" is the typical answer you get when you ask your child whether she wants to wear the red or the blue shirt, are you really surprised when she scoffs at what you're serving for dinner?
Work with it: The "polite one bite" rule is great, but leave it at that, says Castle: "The goal is not to get them to eat the broccoli today but to help them actually like the broccoli long-term." Susan Miller of Franklin Lakes, NJ, employed this strategy when feeding her sons as toddlers. "I made sure there was at least one thing on their plates I knew they'd eat," she says, "but they had to taste the other foods, too. If they didn't like what they tried, fine, but what eventually happened is that, having been exposed to a wide variety of flavors, my sons now eat almost everything."
But when you've got a kid who refuses to eat anything on her plate, anxiety often kicks in, leading you to make desperate offers of healthy staples you know she'll like: "How about a bowl of cereal?" or "Let me get you a container of yogurt." Instead, consider giving her some control over the menu. At my house, make-your-own-burrito nights are a hit. I put out bowls of fillings—rice, beans, shredded cheese, and diced avocado—and let Jules create his own culinary masterpiece. Giving him the opportunity to "make" his own dinner gets him excited and eager to eat up.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7563 (or whatever other jira was responsible) was so awesome that I was able to export HADOOP_COMMON_HOME, HADOOP_HDFS_HOME and run target/hadoop-common-0.23.0-SNAPSHOT/sbin/hadoop-daemon.sh start namenode|datanode|secondarynamenode without any hassles. Great work folks! Kudos! It is really incredible. Is there a plan for getting the same awesomeness for YARN? What is the plan for starting the YARN-daemons from source? Could someone (Alejandro/Eric/?) please point me to one comment / JIRA out of the millions for mavenization floating around to start YARN-daemons from the built sources? Thanks Ravi. |

Pete Seeger's life, like the arc of the moral universe famously invoked by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., bent toward justice. He died this week at 94. Pete sang truth to power through the epic struggles of most of the last century, for social justice, for civil rights, for workers, for the environment and for peace. His songs, his wise words, his legacy will resonate for generations.
