The Coast Guard is warning boaters looking to get out on the lake this weekend that water temperatures are still dangerously cold.
The Coast Guard says cold water could be a factor in the boating incident on Lake Erie that claimed the lives of four boaters.
According to the Coast Guard, in the best of scenarios, a male with average height and weight in freezing or near-freezing water would lose function after an hour if not dressed properly.
"The conditions on the water can be very deceptive with warm air temperature," said Lt. Cdr. Thomas Pequignot, chief, Incident Management Division at Coast Guard Sector Buffalo. "Forecasted temperatures in the mid-60s this weekend may give the mariner a false perception that it is safe to venture out on the water. Remember to always dress for the water temperature and not the air temperature."
"The wind change is big. It can turn a 1 to 2-foot wave into a 4-foot wave in a matter of minutes," said Denny Barth, a Port Clinton resident.
That is just one of the dangers boaters can experience on the cold waters of Lake Erie during this time of year. It can quickly turn a fun outing into a life or death situation.
"You could be fishing, next thing you know, the waves start building, you don't realize it until it starts really big. You always have to keep an eye on the weather," explained Capt. Mitch Kortenver with Reel Nauti Charters.
People who have been enjoying Lake Erie for many years, say that the size of the boat can be the difference between weathering a storm or not.
"You have to have the experience. I mean, just because you can go buy a boat and put it in the water...I mean, you're putting too much at risk," said Barth.
Many boaters feel the most important ways to stay safe are knowing the weather forecast ahead of time so you don't take a chance, and always wearing a life preserver.
Here are a few tips from the Coast Guard to help keep you safe now and in the upcoming boating season:
-Never go out on the water or ice alone. Proper precautions should always be taken before heading out on the water or the ice.
-Before making your first trip out onto the water this spring, be sure to ensure seaworthiness of your vessel and inspect it thoroughly.
-Ensure the boat drain plugs are properly installed.
-Inspect the hull for wear and tear that may have occurred over the long winter season.
-Check the readiness of all your survival and safety equipment.
-Free boat inspections can be arranged and scheduled with the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
Additionally, the combination of warmer temperatures and shifting winds has caused extremely hazardous ice conditions throughout Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and inland. The Coast Guard cautions against ice fishing and transiting on the ice, due to the threat of weak ice.

No it wont. The only way is to use something like EyeTV. It has to be an analogue (i.e. non DVB-T) EyeTV too. There might also be some lag. I once got a USB1 tv-tuner for a PC laptop and the lag due to having to be re-encoded and squeezed into USB1's miniscule 11mbit bandwidth made any type of gameplay impossible.

Since kids under 12 SAIL FREE!!! After the fiasco we had the last time (600 kids, and they were everywhere 24/7) We hoped, and were correct that the fact that school was back in session, and Bermuda is not a real "KIDS" destination worked out well this time, only 28!!! NERVANAH!
The buffets were a vast improvement over last time. I think the problem is they should stick with what then know, ITALIAN AND CONTINENTAL, and quit putting stuff out, that after 5 minutes in the steam tastes like "rubber erasers!!" Since they only ran the sit down breakfast from 7-9 (Carnival & HAL are usually 7-10) we found a table near the Omelet station, and with a little English (AND SOME SIGN LANGUAGE) I ordered my Western Omelet(s) while the wife explored the rest and scoped out all the best goodies. There was a wide variety, but I have to ask??? "WHAT IS SO DIFFICULT ABOUT BACON????"" IT DID NOT MATTER WHETHER IT WAS JUST COOKED, OR THERE FOR HOURS, IT WAS A REAL JAW BREAKER!!!
And the Crew? While our cabin steward was on the ball, and the ships Operations people were on the ball, Guest services, dining staff reminded us of a combination of "FAWLTY TOWERS!!!" AND "ARE YOU BEING SERVED!!!" One women at the front desk kept giving out wrong information about our departure time from Bermuda for 2 days!!! (4:00PM instead of the correct 200AM) And I finally had to get the Hotel director to go and straighten her out!!! There were many language problems too!! And the constant droning of every announcement coming over in FIVE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, got tiresome after a while. One excuse they were passing around was that many of the more experienced staff were sent to their new ship the DAVINA!!! SO I GUESS WE WERE "CHOPPED LIVER!!"
We only took this cruise because it was the only on that sailed out of Florida to Bermuda. And in all likelihood, that would be the only way we would sail with MSC again!
I was all for giving them 2 stars!!! But after the wife had time to calm me down, we'll say: 3 and one quarter stars. And if you want to get to see a show, you had better get there an hour early, the theatre is way too small for a ship that can carry 3,500 guests!!! We did not get to see one show!

Buchanan's town hall draws 1,400
Date: August 26, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
MANATEE COUNTY — Linda Sack stepped to the microphone, and with a tremble in her voice, she pleaded with U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan to fight H.R. 3200, a healthcare reform bill that includes a government-run health insurance plan.
Citing specific lines and page numbers in the bill, the disabled Christian Retreat resident said passage of the bill would leave her without much hope.
"They are going to ration healthcare," said Sack, who became disabled in an accident at work. "If it get the surgeries (I need), I've already maxed out. If they don't work, what would I do? I'd be disposable."
Sack was one of more than 1,400 constituents who flocked to the Braden River High School auditorium for Buchanan's town hall meeting on healthcare and the economy Aug. 20. Just five minutes into the forum, Buchanan's aides not only closed the doors to the auditorium but also the overflow area, the cafeteria, which was packed to standing room-only.
Buchanan took comments and questions from constiuents, who spoke both in favor and against H.R. 3200 and other issues during the hour-long meeting.
The majority of speakers opposed President Barack Obama's plan and its hasty trek through the legislative process. Many cited specific reference points for their objection, which included everything from the government being able to access bank accounts to the rationing of physician services.
Braden Pines resident Bob Eredics, a pharmacist argued free healthcare at no cost devalues the service. Eredics noted an instance in South Carolina where the state began offering free prescription drugs to state employees and the number of medications used by state employees rose seven times in one year.
"It's not free ride," Eredics said. "You've got to work. America is about (people, not the government) helping each other."
Others, including Mitch Mallett, a state committee member for the Democratic Party for Manatee County, said people are misinformed about the bill, what it will do and how it will be implemented and funded.
"What I heard today was a lot of ignorance," Mallett said after the meeting. "I think a public option (for healthcare) would be a tremendous thing because it would take in everybody. We have a public option for homeowner's insurance in Florida. … I don't think people are looking at the whole picture."
Buchanan said everyone should have access to affordable healthcare but the plans of a single-payer system and H.R. 3200 were not the best solutions.
"The system clearly needs major reform," Buchanan said. "The No. 1 issue for small businesses was they couldn't find healthcare or couldn't afford to (provide) it. Working families are being squeezed from every side."
Finding a way to curb costs and make it more affordable is of utmost importance, he said.
The Republican congressman also pledged his support to making sure that senior citizens and veterans continue to receive the medical assistance they have been promised and on which they depend.
"We have to do what's best for America and what's best for Florida, but stand by our seniors," he said. "I'm not interested in taking (health care) from seniors and giving it to someone else."

Enroll Now!
If you are unemployed or hate your job, this course is for you. The good news is that if you follow the course, do the assignments, by the end of Lesson 4, you have a pretty good resume. The course gets you out of your rut and motivates you to get out there and find the right job.
I have gained much perspective from taking this step by step class. It has reminded me of the importance of having a plan of action. Everything from reflecting on my needs, setting my goals to mapping out a job exploration plan and preparing for an interview has broadened my awareness of what is needed for a successful job search. I find myself refering to the lessons just to help friends and family get through various stages of life's challenges! Thanks so much for the insight and the outlined process of self-development!
I loved this class! It was what I needed to motivate and direct me in my search for the ideal job after 12 years of being a homemaker. This class, which I printed for reference, is helping me to relax and stay focused on my ideal needs. Todd did a fantastic job! I really loved this online class. I plan on looking into more online classes.
In the ten years I've been employed at my present job, everything has changed. I've gotten too comfortable and lost my edge. I needed to update my skills, and understand the rules of the job hunt game in order to be competitive with younger candidates. This course provides that advantage.
Thanks for offering this course. I have kept a notebook so I can always refer to it. I am much more confident now. After reviewing my strengths, experience and education, I honestly believe I can make a contribution to a company. I am very shy, so networking is difficult, but having a script really helps. I think the more interviews I go on, the less anxious I'll be.
This class was one of the best classes if have ever taken. I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Bermont's lessons and up-lifting approach to job interviewing. The lessons I learned in this class will bless me my entire career.
Todd Bermont is an excellent instructor and mentor. I can see how it would be easy to work with him as a career coach. He is extremely positivie and uplifting and exactly what the job hunting process is all about. While taking Todd's course, I got a job! I guess that tells you how effective his course is! He is an excellent instructor and perfect for this course. I would highly recommend every career searcher take his course.
This course is amazing! I came into it as a shy and insecure little mouse who had no idea how to put myself out there. With Todd's help, I changed up my resume by deleting things that were insignificant; he also showed me how to transform a gap in my employment into a strong statement of work ethic and knowledge. I was able to "wow" them at the first interview, got called back for a second interview, and then was asked to shadow and eventually this has all come to full-circle: I now have the opportunity to choose between any of the 3 positions that I would like...at the #1 hospital in the United States (recently became #2, just this year). I recommend this course for anyone who is looking for a new job. It is a great morale booster as well! PS...I have asked for one of Todd's books for Christmas, so I can keep him around all year long
Todd made easier my job hunt. He helped greatly to understand to have fun while doing a job hunt. Moreover, he helped realized that I am a Great person with strengths and selling point that differentiate me from everyone else. Thanks a lot.
This is one of the best courses on the subject I have ever taken. I have been unemployed and under-employed since being laid off in 2008. During that time, I have attended several groups to help with resume writing, interviewing and also paid a lot of money to companies who claimed they knew how to motivate, write resumes which would help me get a job. What a waste of money! Your course is terrific and I am very motivated to prepare for interviews by having a resume and cover letter. Thanks for knowing your purpose in life and for helping me and others.

Eventual consistency is everywhere in the real world
Our habit, at least in the 2000s, was to build web sites and web applications backed by a relational database. In my case these web products were built with PHP, a language that does not usually spawn resident processes running on the server, but only consists of scripts started on demand.
This kind of storage and language gave me (and some other millions LAMP developers) a bias towards the immediately consistent model: a transaction is performed during each HTTP request, and at the end of it everything that should have been changed is consistently in the new state; every row in every table of the database is up to date.
Today we're seeing a transition towards a model full of NoSQL databases, often based on eventual consistency; towards message queues, event-driven programming and asynchronous processing; have you heard of Gearman?
These concrete examples are taken from software development and from the real world: I hope they aid you in adding the new paradigm to your toolbox (without necessarily disregarding the old one) and in evangelizing it with other people.
What's reality now?
Although many architectural choices try to hide this fact, our applications can be built as distributed systems running on different machines. It's not the time for defaulting to a MySQL connection to localhost or to a machine in the Intranet anymore.
Our data can be kept in different machines and different projects, owned by different people (integrated anything with Facebook?) Eventual consistency is the only way to scale in these scenarios; and by scale I do not mean supporting a million user on a single CPU, but just building a useful application that does not have to wait 60 seconds for each page to load.
What was the world about?
Once upon a time, everything worked with paper (at least until several tens of years ago); immediate consistency is an invention of IT people. When paper sheets had to travel between organizations and different places, there was no requirement for immediate consistency, as it wasn't even possible.
Sometimes immediate consistency is an improvement that makes the fortune of a startup: Dropbox and Google Docs eliminate the pain of synchronization and multiple versions of files and documents in a beautiful way.
Sometimes the business doesn't care really much (or at all) for forcing consistency over a large set of data.
Amazon recommendations
Amazon has a nice system for increasing sales: presenting recommendations on the page of a product, basing on which products Amazon's users has bought in the past:
The set of bought-together-products for recommendations are usually built over the whole incidence matrix users/products. Updating immediately such a model would be impossible: every time a product is bought the page would be locked up.
So how Amazon scales to selling hundreds of products continuously and generating their pages containing recommendations at the same time? In the simplest way: with a little layer of caching.
In fact, almost every cache is based on eventual consistency. I would exclude cases when cache invalidation is implemented deterministically; in all the other cases, caches are the most diffused examples of eventual consistency. The difference between them and NoSQL consistency is that many caches expire after a finite amount of time. You can cache an HTML page for 10 seconds, but the content of a CouchDB view would always favor availability to consistency; even in the case where the results are very old, querying a CouchDB view would never block waiting for recomputation.
Google search results
The same consistency model applies to Google (and any search engine): crawling takes a finite amount of time, and search results are at least always inconsistent with the current state of the web. It couldn't be different.
However, there is another level of eventual consistency. Although the indexes are probably updated hourly in 2011, spreading updates across data centers took quite a while in the past, in a phenomenon called Google dance.
During a Google dance, each data center would return different results and ordering in SERPs, while the PageRank of each result was updated. Yet Google didn't suffer this occasional lack of consistency and went on to become a web superpower.
According to the CAP theorem, we can only achieve two properties in a distributed system, chosen between Consistency, Availability and Partition Tolerance.
Although Dropbox enabled immediate consistency via synchronization in many cases, it must work with Partition Tolerance: it's a distributed system between your devices (pc, tablets, smartphones) which you can use even without a connection. You can work on files in Dropbox's local folder while commuting, in a gallery, on the sea, in the mountains, where 3G is not available or when you want to save battery or bandwidth for later.
Thus Dropbox promises to give you a folder that syncs. It hides lots of complexity under the carpet, like its delta compression algorithms and management of conflicts, or its syncing on LAN whenever possible and syncing over the Internet in any other case.
Dropbox embraces eventual consistency: transactional consistency would be impossible to obtain over a large network like Internet as your word processor would freeze each time you hit Ctrl+S and the updates are pushed to other devices. Immediate consistency is also impossible to obtain in case of a partition in the network like the absence of a working connection.
The final result? You work on your document, which will be updated when the connection is available. And then updated on your other devices when their connection is available. Sometimes it takes a lot to sync, if you have large new files to upload. But you can continue working, although not from multiple devices at the same time (Dropbox is oriented to personal syncing, not on collaboration. So it's not a real limitation.)
The hottest startup of the moment, based on explicitly avoiding immediate consistency and getting away with it.
Banking and money
It still takes some days to transfer money between Italian banks. You can imagine vans full of bank notes and policemen driving from one bank to another. Actually today banks communicate over a digital network, but still the protocols work as before. Wire transfers are scheduled for the end of the day, and transfer are made off hours (probably to simplify the accounting rules).
Bank transfers are always chosen as the example of a database transaction. That scenario may be true only when the accounts are situated in the same bank: it's not uncommon to transfer money between San Paolo and ING Direct and actually see the money vanish for some days as it is subtracted from one account and not yet added to the other one (someone with more knowledge in the banking domain could clarify this scenario.)
Of course banks provide every kind of logs so that money never disappears, but if you observe the external state of the system you will notice that at a first glance you are poorer while a wire transfer is taking place.
Again, sometimes immediate consistency is an innovation: Paypal transfers money overall the world in seconds, allowing a buyer to checkout on an e-commerce site istantaneously.
However, vendors accepting Paypal will often tell you We have accepted your order, now wait for us to come back to you... while they look for the physical item in their warehouses. Online offers are not always consistent with the actual inventory...

By default the real world is no consistent, I agree. We communicate, work and behave using partial information, using past state.
But, like you said for bank transactions, and what is also true for eCommerce and many other fields, you have to manage this eventual consistency to make it appear consistent.
If a customer has to wait 3 weeks instead of 3 day to receive its purshase because you failed to have a consistent inventory and provide a reliable shipping delay, you just lost a customer. Because if the gift he wanted for he wife come 2 weeks after her birthday, you simply failed. NoSQL or not. Eventual consistency or not.
RDBMS databases provide this abstraction for you. Hardware is unreliable. Consistent replication is complex. Concurrent read/write with ACID is quite complex. But RDBMS manage it really well. And this is fast. A typical transaction require only a few ms and you can have thousand per second... Manage TB of data and have still it fast.
Yes NoSQL databases are typically faster (if you don't need to replicate ACID by yourself on top of it), yes they scale better (althrough Oracle RAC scale up to 1 hundred servers, not too bad if you ask me). And there are cases when you want to use them.But like you said with cache, this is not new. This has always been like that, we have many caching layers, we compute some data offline, email notifications are put on a queue... And that's ok. It was already the case 30 years ago.
The key is to choose the right tool for the job. RDBMS is simply a productivity boost when you need consistency. It is also a very mature solution that will serve you well in most case because not everybody need to deal with hundred millions users anyway.
But when you need a caching mechanism, when you need absolute performence at very low cost, NoSQL will give you that... At the expense of development time and managing complexity yourself.

NEW YORK, June 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As the world population continues to grow, so too will the demand for energy. Compared to the year 2000, it is estimated that global energy demand will double by the year 2050. To help meet this growing demand, many people are turning to natural gas, which is the cleanest burning fossil fuel. However, because some natural gas resources are in remote locations, transporting the gas long distances by pipeline can be costly and impractical. As a result, the gas is liquefied by cooling it, which shrinks its volume for easier, economical and safe transportation by ship
Headquartered in Australia, Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (OTCBB: LNGLF) is engaged in the identification and progression of opportunities for the development of liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects to produce and sell LNG. The company operates in three segments: oil and gas project development; investment in existing oil and gas discoveries and prospective acreage; and technology development and licensing. The company's current projects include the Gladstone LNG project in Queensland, Australia and the Magnolia LNG project in Louisiana, USA.

It doesn't take much to make a kitchen nook feel warm and inviting, but the lighting might be the most important element.
These adorable kitchen niches are usually small in scale, only being about to fit a small table. Yet, they maximize space by turning an awkward alcove into something useful. I remember using mine in my childhood home growing up to do projects and homework while my mom cooked dinner. Plus, there is something so peaceful about waking up and going to the kitchen to enjoy a warm up of coffee in your sunny nook.

If you don't have a built-in nook in your kitchen (I certainly don't, living in San Francisco), try to make one for yourself by adding a small table in a sunny corner of your living room or another empty spot in your home.
I currently use our bay window to achieve a "sitting area" feel and it's my happy place to sit and enjoy myself.

I hope these nooks have inspired you to create your own!

There are so many fantastic colors out there and I love most of them. Lately I have been crushing pretty hard on a long time favorite, aqua! In all of its various shades, whether it be of the bluer, the greener, the darker or the lighter varieties. I love them all! I think aqua makes for a fantastic accent color for a room. On a lamp, a tray or even on a wall, it's all good in my book.
This image inspires me and makes me want to paint an entire room aqua. That deep aqua that makes you want to curl up with book or a record and bask in the color.
And this couch is just perfection isn't it? I also love the slightly lighter aqua statues on the table behind the couch. A fun pop of color on another great pop of color. Does it get any better? The whole room is awesome. All of the colors play well off of the couch which is of course the focus of the room. How could it not be?
1. Estelle Teal Large Round Wood Tray 2. Isla Aqua Satin Nickel Pendant Light 3. Aqua Stripe Swing Arm Desk Lamp 4. Zuo Repulse Outdoor Aqua Blue Bay Chair
I would love any of these aqua items for my home. The color is funky and bright which is something my place needs! I especially love the glass light fixture. It would look fantastic above a dining table. And the tray would be perfect for so many things. To serve drinks to your guests, to display some keepsake items, or to even just hold your pocket kick-knacks like your keys. The chair looks like it would be an awesome patio chair for summer grilling and the striped lamp is just too fun for words. I would literally put it in any room of the house.

No matter where you live, it's never a bad idea to put a little thought into the entryway or foyer of your home. After all, it's the first thing you see when you walk in the door everyday, and it's the easiest way to make visitors to your home immediately feel like your space is welcoming, polished, and put together.
Madero Espresso Console Table, Amber Swirl Ruffle Glass Bowl, Golden Voyage Gray Glaze Uttermost Wall Mirror, Modern Brushed Steel Mini Droplet Table Lamp, Chrome Finish Ceramic Cone Ottoman
Today, we're imagining a masculine, stately foyer, put together on a budget.
By combining this structural console along with a gold, geometric mirror, you already have a great base for a strong, statement making entry. Adding accessories like this simple chrome lamp, a garden stool, and a glass bowl finishes things off with a flourish!

A couple of accused Jensen Beach meat swipers appear to have been caught red-handed after being spotted stuffing steaks in their trousers.
A woman working January 4 in the meat department of a Publix in the 3300 block of Southeast Federal Highway in Stuart told a Martin County Sheriff's deputy she saw two men walking up to the meat case.
The men, later identified as Jesse Mcfalls, 22, and 23-year-old Dante Costello, grabbed some rib eye and New York Strip steaks, according to recently released records. They walked down aisle 11 and "put the meats down their pants."
If wasn't known if the woman working in the meat department grilled the men or verbalized any searing accusations. She did take steps to notify loss prevention officials.
A store manager told a deputy he was called to the store's south entrance to look for the two men. He said he saw them "concealing the meat," which is a key ingredient in meatballs and meat loaf.

One man was in custody and two suspects were on the loose after a SWAT operation in Glendale on Wednesday night.
Police say a man put his Xbox up for sale online and went to meet the potential buyers at an apartment near 43rd and Peoria avenues.
Three men held him at gunpoint and robbed him, said Glendale police Sgt. Brent Coombs.
The victim escaped, called police and the SWAT team was also called.
Police took one of the men in custody after a brief barricade situation, Coombs said.
Coombs said police didn't have any information on the other suspects.
The victim was taken to a hospital as a precautionary measure.

A Strategic Approach to Metrics for User Experience Designers
Journal of Usability Studies, Volume 6, Issue 2, February 2011, pp. 52 - 59
User experience (UX) designers asked to justify return-on-investment (ROI) for UX activities often rely on published ROI studies and UX metrics that do not address decision makers concerns. With a little knowledge of business strategy and metrics and an understanding of their own value to an organization, UX practitioners can (a) identify the financial and non-financial metrics and goals that drive change in their organizations, (b) draw a clear picture for decision makers of the connection between their value and the companys goals, and (c) demonstrate a positive return on investment in UX activities.
Practitioners Take Away
This article discussed four aspects of metrics and strategy:
- Traditional measures of return on investment (ROI) in UX activities often are not connected to the concerns of business executives.
- UX practitioners can use metrics strategically by identifying business objectives that drive company action and by making explicit their own contribution to those objectives.
- Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is a well-articulated approach to understanding how to describe strategy and metrics. UX practitioners can use the BSC approach for direction on how to align their activities to company goals.
- Metrics are not the only way to illustrate ROI on UX activitiesmany companies are touting design and design process as the solution to many business problems, not just user experience.

When do I add the honey? Also, do I put shreded coconut in the crust too, with the coconut oil?
Based on what I've seen in other recipes, I would mix the honey in with the melted coconut oil. So where it says add CO, the honey is implied.
This recipe sounds great. I love cheesecake! Can't wait to try this!
I have this in the oven now! I didn't have a springform pan, only 2 pie dishes (which are fairly shallow) so I made 2 cheesecakes instead of one really thick one You could easily cut this recipe in half and make one normal cheesecake in a pie dish!
Hmm, for the crust there is "NO" coconut amount and I'm assuming (and you know what that does) that the Honey goes into the crust with the CO. Would be nifty if this was edited.
if you go to the original recipe on the Foodie and the Family (http://www.thefoodieandthefamily.com/2011/10/21/grain-free-pumpkin-cheesecake/#more-1179 ), you can see the corrected instructions. It says to use 1/2 c shredded unsweetened coconut. Hope that helps!
sounds yummy. I am cooking paleo for my husband, and I thought cream cheese and yogurt were non paleo, can anyone explain where the line is drawn on dairy please thanks!
how is this paleo?!
this is not a paleo recipe at all. cream cheese is not real paleo!
OK, I made this last night, and it was to die for. Turned out perfect and looks exactly like the picture. I did make some small tweaks: I didn't have quite that amount of almonds (I used slivered almonds and ground them with my pecans), but the crust was plenty thick enough. I didn't have coconut oil for the crust, so I used ghee. Instead of the cinnamon in the crust I used the pumpkin pie spice, since I will probably only use it for this recipe. I also used maple syrup in the crust instead of honey, to be consistent with the filling. And I used a touch more maple syrup in the filling to make it a tiny bit sweeter. I also baked it in a bain marie. Served with a drizzle of maple syrup on top, it was soooooo yummy.
Oh no.. I was disappointed yet again while looking for a Paleo Cheesecake recipe. This isn't Paleo.
This was only ok. Considering it cost a fortune to make, I wouldn't make it again.

RALEIGH — There wasnt much for the Carolina Hurricanes to like about their game Sunday against the Phoenix Coyotes.
The Hurricanes lost 5-3 in a sloppy, penalty-filled game at PNC Arena.
They lost starting goaltender Anton Khudobin to injury.
They lost the competitive fire they showed in their past two games, a hard-fought victory against the Washington Capitals and then a well-played shootout loss to the Los Angeles Kings.
They couldnt score on a long 5-on-3 power play and were 1-for-9 overall with a man advantage, often looking disjointed on the ice.
Canes coach Kirk Muller didnt like it. Any of it.
Im not very happy at all, Muller said. A few guys came ready to play and battle and play their game, but we had too many passengers and some of our top guys who didnt bring their A game. No excuses. We didnt get the job done.
While the loss stung, a bigger concern was the health of Khudobin, who was making this third start, had been consistently good and took a 2-0 record into the game.
Khudobin was injured as he ventured well out of the net midway through the second period while attempting to play the puck. He appeared to catch an edge with his skate, falling awkwardly.
Khudobin returned to the net but soon needed assistance in leaving the ice as Cam Ward entered the game. Muller was not sure of the severity of the injury after the game and said Khudobin would have an MRI on Monday.
That didnt help, Canes center Jordan Staal said of Khudobins injury. Hes been playing well for us and obviously seeing him go down was tough.
Khudobin had stopped 18 of 20 shots when he was forced out of the game with 10minutes, 8seconds left in the second. Ward, the starter Friday against the Kings, allowed three goals on 12 shots.
Forward Rob Klinkhammer, who had five career goals before Sunday, scored twice for the Coyotes (4-2-0), who won their third in a row to cap a five-game road trip. Klinkhammer gave Phoenix a 4-3 lead just 22 seconds into the third, scoring off an odd-man rush, and Shane Doan added the fifth goal to seal it.
Jeff Skinner scored his second of the season and second in two games for the Canes (2-2-2) on a second-period power play. He took a pass from Nathan Gerbe, who was behind the net. The puck glanced off the mask of Coyotes goalie Mike Smith and nicked the crossbar.
Skinners goal tied the score 3-3 with 57 seconds left in the period, and Jordan Staal nearly gave Carolina the lead in the final seconds of the second. His shot hit the crossbar, the puck falling straight down and landing an inch or two from the goal line.
Eric Staal scored for Carolina in the first period, offsetting Mikkel Boedkers power-play goal for Phoenix. Canes center Riley Nash picked up his first goal of the season in the second, tipping a Ryan Murphy shot from the point past Smith for a 2-1 lead.
Klinkhammers first goal, which came out of a scrum in front of Khudobin, tied it 2-2. Lauri Korpikoski then pushed Phoenix ahead 3-2 after the Canes couldnt convert on nearly a full two minutes of a 5-on-3 power play.
The game was filled with penalties 11 on the Coyotes and seven against Carolina.
It was a slow game, a choppy game. Not a whole lot of flow, Jordan Staal said. A lot of penalties. It was tough to get some momentum going. We couldnt find our mojo and really find our game and play in their end.
Canes forward Tuomo Ruutu was in the lineup for the first time this season. Ruutu, coming off a leg injury, was activated off injured reserve Sunday morning and started on the fourth line as Kevin Westgarth was made a healthy scratch.
Ruutu saw time on the first power-play unit during the game. He also forced the Coyotes into three penalties.
Coming out in the third, its a tie game, Skinner said. I think weve got to be sort of more desperate to get the win.

introspection annotation
<programming> A kind of pragma that makes information about the implementation of a program available to the program at run-time, allowing it to do introspection.
For example, gtk-doc defines a GObject Introspection syntax for annotations that give machine readable information about function parameters and return values, though these don't appear to be intended for actual introspection.

It's crazy to think that in a couple of months, I will be facing yet another transition in my life. It seems like only yesterday that I hopped on a plane to fly across the country (literally – from California) to start my graduate education. Personally, coming to Candler was a HUGE decision. In so many ways, it was out of character for me to choose to invest so much time and money into an education that could not guarantee me a set career. And to get up and leave my family, friends and comfort zone to go to the South! What could the South possibly offer me that LA couldn't? However, I knew that if I chose to ignore the opportunity set before me and refused to take that leap of faith, I would be left wondering "what if…"
Many people have told me that you need to be really intentional about spending time with God in seminary. Doesn't seem to make much sense right? Shouldn't it be easier since I will be reading, writing, breathing and living everything God? But it's true–the academic demand does cause a spiritual disconnect at times. However, my studies here at Candler have also enriched my relationship with God in so many ways. I have been introduced to so many great thinkers, writers, theologians, preachers and the like. The readings that I actually got around to really challenged me to go deeper in my understanding of God and His Word. Similarly, the discussions with which I engaged during classes have also stretched me to look at things in new and different ways. Even though I know that God isn't calling me vocationally to ministry (whew!), the skills that I have found and honed here at Candler will be an asset wherever I go.
So. Was it worth it? Was it worth getting past my fears and insecurities, of trusting that God will somehow make everything work? Most definitely. This of course does not mean that I have all the answers. Graduation is in 3 months and I still have no answer to where I will be going next. But that leap of faith has brought me to trust in God at a different level. He not only met me here in s-l-o-w Atlanta, but He revealed different parts of Himself to me in the green trees and the curvy one-lane roads and even on the MARTA bus. He answered my prayers for real community and good people in a way that I didn't think possible. I am astonished at how much God has grown me and stretched me in the past two years. Not only have I learned new things about myself but I have started a journey in finding parts of me that I have lost along the way. To think that I would've missed out on all of that…

Re the June 21 article Magazine sees doom for Miami after 2030: It's ironic that although the Rolling Stone article on sea level rise states that Miami Beach Commissioner Michael Gongora "prides himself on his willingness to face reality," he told the Herald that the article had "a very pessimistic tone which I personally happen not to agree with."
Facing reality requires accepting science, even if pessimistic. Gongora opted for bad science when he voted in favor of an inadequate stormwater master plan for Miami Beach.
Voters are mature enough to confront the facts about sea-level rise and do something about it, even when it takes more public investment than Miami Beach politicians have been willing to admit.

Today's weather forecast: A Brief Respite
Everyone's been practically tinkling in their pants, anticipating the grand opening of what will undoubtedly be downtown L.A.'s newest gem: Bestia. While its doors parted last month for the latest installment of Test Kitchen, this last Friday officially marked the day that Bestia proper proclaimed itself open for business.
Taking a look at the opening weekend's Yelp reviews reveals some pretty giddy excitement, and we're not at all inclined to believe it's undue. You've got chef Ori Menashe (Angelini Osteria) running the kitchen, focusing in rustic Italian fare—think beef heart tartare, house-made headcheese, and hand-cut chestnut pasta—with barman extraordinaire Julian Cox (Playa, Rivera, Picca, Sotto, Short Order) handling drinks, pastry chef Genevieve Gergis heading up sweets, all under the keen eye of savvy restaurateur Bill Chait. (View Bestia's full menu.)

Rotoscoping legend vists Escape - you coming?
On Wednesday Aug 7th rotoscoping guru Martin Body, whose work spans from 2001: A Space Odyssey to Casino Royale to Skyfall, is speaking at our Open Day about his epic career in the world of Visual Effects. Pre-digital, Martin was an optical and rostrum cameraman and even used to roto by hand using paper and scissors to create matts back in the day!
Fancy a treat?
So last week we welcomed Steve Begg as our guest speaker to our Open Day and, as usual, it was a huge success.
VFX Supervisor Steve Begg speaks at our next open day
Like all our Open Days here at Escape, the next is set to be even more epic than the last. On July 10th we'll be joined by industry legend Steve Begg, who's 27 years' of experience in the industry is quite intimidating. VFX Supervisor on titles such as Skyfall, Batman Begins, Casino Royale, The Golden Compass, Red Dwarf, Aliens... the list goes on… Steve has a great many anecdotes to share, as well as some golden nuggets of wisdom!
Escape's Open Day goes on location…
Is anyone else reminded of school trips when the weather's like this?
Let's all go to the Zoo!
Or maybe the Zoo will come to Escape Studios instead…
Riding the storm
Helen Hunt ain't got nothin' on me…
Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore…
Escape whips up a whirlwind of activity this week.
MPC comes to Escape
Okay folks, our Academy Tour is almost upon us; on Wednesday 15th May Escape Studios will once again open its doors to all you VFX lovers out there wishing to get ahead of the game in the industry.
There's gnome place like home...
So last night, there I was, enjoying having the flat to myself, only half watching a re-run of Grand Designs when the ad break came on and something made me sit up and take notice of the tv screen…
Getting a taste for VFX
After a busy day on reception yesterday with the Academy Tour I was certainly looking forward to a more tranquil start to my morning…
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Paul Chung that's who!
Escape Studios had a special treat today as animator Paul Chung kindly agreed to come along and give a talk to our Academy Tour attendees, oh and half the current student population too…
Escape Graduate lands a job at ILM!
Academy Tour
Another busy day on Front-of-House…

It's full steam ahead here at Escape…
The Visual Effects Academy
So, the time is nearly upon us to open our doors to all you budding VFX artist wannabes to show you what we're made of!
Xtra Special Xmas Open Days!
Do you want to find out more about Visual Effects? Want to meet the guys who blow all that stuff up? The people who make Bond a legend? The people who make you believe that VFX isn't even in the film? To make our last two Open Day's of 2012 go out with a bang, we're hosting them at our friends' facilities – two of the biggest post houses in operation today, Framestore & Cinesite.
Take a look around!
January is fast approaching, and with that brings new year resolutions and ambitions. Looking to the future, you may be keen to find out what you want to do following the end of your studies. Or perhaps you're keen to change careers or simply enhance the computer graphics skills you already have. With this in mind, it seems there's no better time to visit our facilities and discover how doing a course at Escape Studios will help you get to where you want to be.
The Future of University Applications Looks Confused
There were a whole raft of announcements and news stories about university applications last week - sadly they didn't get much air time as TV and radio stations remained firmly focused on the state of the Euro. Still, the BBC did publish a few stories which are worthy of further discussion.
New Additional VFX Course Dates for January!
Due to the unprecedented demand for our 12 Week Visual Effects Production courses we have just opened up another VFX classroom for January! Having filled the two existing January dates so quickly, and while we are still receiving enquires for these courses, we wanted to give as many people as possible the opportunity to start with us in January.

The second edition of Inside the Cage Radio is in the can and ready for your listening pleasure…
This week we didn't have any guests because there was just too much to talk about. Matt Cava of UFCTakedown.com and I had some heated debates regarding:
* Hermes Franca and whether we believe he's a sympathetic figure
* More banter about my prediction that Josh Koscheck will defeat Georges St. Pierre at UFC 74
* A rundown of all the new matchups for UFC 76 and 77 that were reported this week
* A discussion about Tito Ortiz's recent comments in a UFCMania.com interview where he stated that fighters are talking about forming a union.
* We discuss the UFC lightweight title situation and who our top four seeds would be if the UFC decided to have a tournament for the title if they in fact strip Sean Sherk (I make it a point to go off on Roger Huerta)
* Our thoughts on what has been the best match of the year in MMA thus far.
You will also want to be sure to tune in next week as we present a full-hour devoted to previewing UFC 74.
You can also check out our first show by clicking here.
We'd also like to thank all the people who listened last week. As always, we're doing this show for you so if you have any feedback, please be sure to leave a comment here or send us an e-mail.
I think you are being unfair to Penn. Not only is he among the most veteran UFC LWs (along with guys like Matt Serra and Din Thomas) despite his hiatus from the division. Kenny Florian as the man to beat? Give me a fucking break. Yeah, Kenny fought for the (paper) title once… Penn fought for it twice.
I'd argue that Penn should fight the winner of Thomas vs. Florian for the interim/vacant title. Then create the next contender by pitting Frank Edgar vs. the winner of Aurelio/Guida. Then put the winner of Stevenson/Pellegrino against the winner of Griffin/Tavares, and if Huerta knocks over his next can he can have Mark Bocek next. I agree with you about Huerta more or less BTW.
Interesting show overall, but I'd like to hear more free agent talk and analysis of how these newer promotions are unfolding. It seems like K-1 Hero's is gearing up for a huge push and nobody on this side of the pacific is noticing.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
That first paragraph is messed up but you get my meaning I think.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Florian vs Thomas
Griffin vs Tavares
Aurelio vs Guida
Edgar vs Stevens or Penn
It depends on Stevens beating Pellegrino and staying injury free and on weather or not BJ would be in the Grand Prix. 3 of these are already signed. So its not that far fetched. Penn vs Joe Daddy would be an ideal eliminator.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Is there someway I can make it so itunes d/l the shows when it is up?
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
"It seems like K-1 Hero's is gearing up for a huge push and nobody on this side of the pacific is noticing."
It always seems that way… then they have some 8-foot tall Chinese peasant fight a guy from the crowd as a main event…

Two litters of dwarf mongoose pups were born since September at Brookfield Zoo in suburban Chicago.
The litters were born Sept. 12 and Nov. 24 and totaled seven pups.
The mother is 3-year-old Tavi. The father is 13-year-old Gimbi. The two were paired based on recommendations from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Dwarf Mongoose Species Survival Plan.
The Brookfield Zoo has had dwarf mongooses for nearly 20 years.
Mongoose pups are born with their eyes closed and don't open them until they are about two weeks old.

Jessica, a three-time nominee, led Oklahoma's Class 6A in scoring with almost 24-points a game. She could not attend the Elite 8 Ford Award show Wednesday night at the KTUL studios because she was playing in the McDonald's All-American game in Chicago, IL.
Jaylen has been to Lookout Mountain several times. This was his second nomination for our basketball Ford Award and he was also nominated for the football Ford Award.
He was third in scoring in Oklahoma's largest class with over 19-points a game. He led the Owasso Rams to the Class 6A Semifinals before losing to Edmond Memorial.
Congratulations to Jessica Washington and Jaylen Lowe. They are KTUL's Elite 8 Ford Award Players of the Year.
