It's odd to see new faces, new moves, and new stages in a game you've played literally thousands of times already. SSFIV's big upgrade - bigger than anything EA bangs out in a typical annual update - is damned near finished, right now. Every one of the new characters is already in the game, together with the new stages, modes, and bonus rounds.
Juri, T Hawk, and Dee Jay are all playable when we sit down with the game and behind a character select screen (which Capcom hide when someone new is wheeled out) there are half a dozen more faces to choose from. SSFIV is feature-complete and ready for certification, but there's still a long way to go before the game we play in Capcom's Hammersmith offices is ready for release.
There are the usual technical problems to fix, of course - slowdown on the new stages, animation and lighting glitches, and unfinished moves for some of the newbies. Most importantly, none of the game's existing characters have been rebalanced yet - none have their new moves, damage changes, or miniscule adjustments which will shift the game's balance of power. Guile is still the Guile you know, and Ryu and Ken are still unchanged, and Sagat is still seven feet of pure bastard.
In three months it'll be a different story. The game that ships will be a far beefier package than SFIV, and will address the most obvious imbalances in the game. Sagat will be a little weaker (or at least more interesting to watch), Guile and Vega stronger. Little adjustments will change the way certain moves work or how much damage basic moves do, but the most obvious changes will be the all-new Ultra combos for every character.
Like the new stages, the Ultra combos are something Capcom are keeping quiet about while they drip information into the public domain in their Japanese blog, but it doesn't take a genius to see them in the game we played on a windy day in West London. Look to the Ultra meter and you'll see a 'I' or a 'II' - each representing a different Ultra. Like SFIII you'll pick between two combos before you enter the fight - Guile's Flash Explosion or Sonic Hurricane, for instance - and enter the fight with different tactics based around your choice.
It's not all speculation, of course. That Sonic Hurricane rumour popped up in a leak which smashed Capcom Japan's slow-drip of information and turned it into a flood. Back in September the deluge of fresh information detailed Juri, Dee Jay, and Hawk even before SSFIV had been announced. It exposed the return of the car-smashing and barrel-busting bonus rounds weeks before they were mentioned in the pages of Japanese mag Famitsu and laid out a compelling argument for what's in store for the next few months' worth of reveals.
In the last month Capcom have unveiled Final Fight's Cody and Guy, along with Shoto-punishing Adon, all mentioned in the big, fat leak. That means the likes of Dudley, Makoto, Ibuki, and Arabic grappler Hakan are waiting to be played in the rating-ready build, but it's just Juri, Dee Jay, and T Hawk who are up for discussion right now.
Little changes and a new move or two have made SSFII's Dee Jay and Hawk feel different but it's Juri who makes the biggest impression. She's an undeniably flashy fighter who looks great on-screen and better in motion.
Juri is just a Dragon Punch and an Air Throw away from being a boss-level monster. She has an incredible variety of options in any given situation and with her simple motions and links even lengthy combos emerge easily. Even without messing with Focus Attack Dash Cancels the results of her basic combos are impressive and she's powerful even in the hands of a beginner.

On Wednesday March 30, Mercury will turn retrograde at 1:48 pm PST. When I hear these dreaded words, I take a deep breath and remind myself -- this too shall pass. Mercury the Trickster is about to do its dance so hold on tight and say things twice because things are about to get interesting.
What is does it mean when Mercury turns retrograde? Three, and sometimes four, times a year, the planet Mercury appears to be moving backwards in the sky for approximately 3 weeks. No planet technically moves backwards in their orbits around the Sun, so "appears" is the key word here. Think of it as when you are driving in a car passing another car and you see the overtaken car falling behind, although it is still moving forward.
Mercury rules all communications and electronic devices, so when this illusion of Mercury's motion occurs, these things are greatly affected. This does not necessarily apply to everyone as it depends on where the aspects are in their individual charts. Those who are affected will each experience Mercury's influence in varying ways and intensity.
Last time this happened back in December, I battled with purchasing a very gorgeous and expensive computer screen. I fought every instinct in my body to go through with buying it, knowing full well that making large purchases during Mercury retrograde is a big no-no, especially for a Mercury-ruled gal like myself.
Well, I bought the dang thing (the price was too good to pass up) and it was hardly a smooth transaction. The seller was a nuisance. He would not take my final offer, important cables were forgotten, and there was a series of miscommunications – no surprise here!
What's more concerning is that the effects of this occurrence are felt well before Mercury actually goes retrograde. Starting a week ago, my Facebook feed has been filling up with status updates involving falling light fixtures, ill-fated bank transactions and unbelievable spills and mishaps happening to friends and loved ones -- important letters flying out of handbags and what not. I laugh and brace myself for what's to come the next few weeks.
A friend recently referred to the effects of Mercury retrograde as "when everything gets all Larry David." Yes –- all dealings seem to go completely haywire. Your only defense against this occurrence is to double-check the emails that you send out, reconfirm your hotel reservations, and make sure that your cell phone is plugged into its charger.
Also, do not add to the mayhem by signing any contracts, trying to start something new or making any big decisions. Postpone these activities if possible because anything you commit to during Mercury retrograde will not be set in stone -- know this.
Is there is a positive side to any of this? Yes, thankfully. The purpose of Mercury retrograde is for you to review and revise your life and your relationship with reality. Think of it like when it's raining outside and instead of running your errands, you have to stay indoors and come up with a plan B. While Mercury is retrograde, you should relax and get organized.
Use this opportunity to reflect, meditate and adjust your ideas and decisions about important issues. Take stock and catch up on all things in your life that you began and have not yet accomplished. Once Mercury goes Direct, you will be headed in the right direction for the remainder of 2011. Good luck!

Happy Belated Third Birthday, Stimulus!
I knew there was something else I wanted to write about Friday. The 3rd anniversary of Obama's massive, pork laden, campaign donor hookup entitled the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, otherwise known as The Stimulus That Didn't. It's rather strange that neither Obama nor any Democrats talked about how great Stimulus was yesterday
(IBD) Without any fanfare whatsoever from the White House, February 17 marks the three-year anniversary of the day President Obama signed the much ballyhooed stimulus into law.
At the time, Obama claimed that it would "create or save" up to 3.5 million jobs, and that "a new wave of innovation, activity and construction will be unleashed across America." The stimulus, would, he promised""ignite spending by businesses and consumers" and bring "real and lasting change for generations to come."
And then we found out that the jobs weren't so *Obama laugh track* shovel ready. And the money was wasted on project after project.
So three years later, how do the stimulus results stack up? Here's where various indicators stood in or around February 2009, and where they stand today.
Unemployment rate: The jobless rate is unchanged from February 2009 to January 2012, the latest month for which we have data. Both stood at 8.3%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Obama's economists had initially predicted that with the stimulus, unemployment would stay below 8%.
Number of long-term unemployed: The number of workers who have been unable to find a job in 27 months or more has shot up 83%, with their ranks now at 5.5 million.
Civilian labor force: It has shrunk by 126,000. In past recoveries, the labor force climbed an average of more than 3 million over comparable time periods.
The labor participation rate has shrunk by 3%. Household income is down 7%. Deficits and debt are way up. GDP is sluggish. Consumer spending is still down. Not mentioned is that disposable income is still very low. And
Perhaps the best measure of the success or failure of the stimulus, however, is the fact that President Obama in his latest budget plan has called for still another round of stimulus spending, this time totaling $350 billion over the next four years, for what is labeled "short-term measures for jobs growth."
If the Stimulus had worked, there would be no need for more stimulus to fix potholes, paint bridges, and build turtle tunnels.
Happy Failure, Mr. President!

How to delete duplicate entries in Outlook Express contacts?
Likes # 0
Posted June 11, 2012 at 8:07AM
Posted this yesterday, but I can't find it.
I've synced my Android phone's address book with the contacts in Outlook Express using HTC Sync. After doing that I've got loads of duplicate entries with the same contact name -- it's seemingly treated them as separate entries if, for instance, I've added a mobile number to the name on my phone.
Is there any software that can simply combine all entries that have the same contact name, please? My thought is to correct the version on my PC, then delete the phone's address book completely, and then transfer the corrected Outlook Express contacts to the phone.

Very frustrating and I've been there too. Your suggested method is what I had to do which was a right pain in the proverbial.
Subsequently I set up another address book in Outlook and regularly, before syncing again, delete the entries in the backup and copy the master addresses to it. That ensures that if it happens again I can reverse the process.
I have a Samsung and what I had missed in the syncing program was a simple setting that gave me the option to "Sync as Outlok Data" (or Phone data or notify conflicts) and more imortantly not to allow duplicates.

OK, that's one way to guard against it happening again.
Since posting, I've found that my phone is cleverer than I thought: Whenever its got a duplicated name, it gives me a "Link" option which allows me to combine the two (or more) same-name records. The only issue I can see is it then gives me duplicated telephone numbers within the record, but at least it only shows as one record in my listing. Must be using more memory though, so it would be nice to reduce it down to one record per name.
I've also noticed that there's different records duplicated in Outlook Express -- four duplicates in one case -- than in my phone. Curious.

Former leader awarded 75-year party membership insignia
HA NOI (VNS)— Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong presented the "75 years of Party Membership Insignia" to former General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Viet Nam Do Muoi at a ceremony in Ha Noi on Saturday.
On behalf of the Party and State, Trong acknowledged the significant contributions made by the veteran Party member to the revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation.
He said that comrade Do Muoi had always shown absolute loyalty to the Party, the Fatherland and the people, while successfully accomplishing tasks assigned to him by the Party, State and people.
During his years serving as Party General Secretary, Do Muoi, together with the Party Central Committee, Politburo and Secretariat, directed the Party, people and armed forces to implement the policy on renovation, national construction and defence, Trong said.
Speaking at the ceremony, the former General Secretary said he was honoured to receive the award. He vowed to stay faithful to the Party and do his best to protect it.
"In my 75 years standing in the Party's ranks, I have had the honour of contributing my small part to the cause of the Party and the nation. Now I am almost 100 years old and I can say that I have stayed true to the oath I made when I joined the Party 75 years ago," Muoi said. — VNS

I made my lace skirt almost a year ago and to my surprise I found in September issue of Burda magazine very similar model. The first time I saw the photo I knew I must sew the pullover. Luckily enough I didn't throw the pieces of lace remained from the skirt. It will be my favourite this autumn.

The menu is as simple as the exterior (see picture above) and that is fine. As with many Asian food restaurants menu items are numbered, and in this case there 95 items including 'Beer & Sake.' You'll find all the usual Vietnamese food choices you've come to expect; the menu is divided into these sections: 'Roll,' 'Salad,' 'Noodle Soup,' 'Noodle Dish,' 'Rice Plate,' 'Vietnamese Sandwich,' 'Drinks,' 'Beer & Sake.' Admittedly, I tend to go for the same items in a place I frequent, and I usually order # 27 - 'Sesame Beef Noodle' (red leaf lettuce, flat noodle, peanut sauce) from the 'Noodle Dish' section. Robert seems to like #43 - 'Lemongrass Organic Chicken' (cilantro, daikon, carrot, green onion) from the 'Vietnamese Sandwich' section.
The food is simple, the flavors clean and direct. They are not breaking any new culinary ground here and that is fine. There is nothing on the menu priced over $9.25. I like that it is local, in the neighborhood, and that I know what I'm getting. That is very soothing, and it seems to work well for the people of Atwater Village based on the crowds always in the place.

David H. Winberg, 72, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on May 23, 2013, in Alamogordo after a long and courageous fight with kidney cancer. He was born Jan. 25, 1941, in Newport, Minn., to Herman and Marie (Carlson) Winberg.
Dave graduated from St. Paul Park High School in 1959. Being a small school, he and his classmates have been really close throughout the years and continue to keep in touch. After graduation, Dave joined the
U.S. Air Force
, and after flight engineer school, was stationed at Holloman Air Force Base as a flight engineer on the B26 Bomber. Over his six years in the Air Force, he flew over 6,000 hours with some of those hours being combat flying over Southeast Asia. He loved flying, serving his country and military.
After being honorably discharged from the Air Force in 1965, he stayed in Alamogordo and took a manager position at a rental store. His love for tools and equipment inspired him to purchase the business in 1967 and he renamed it Uptown Rentals, which he loved and operated for over 45 years. In 1992, the business was expanded to include party and event rentals, making it the full-service rental store it is today. Dave was a man of honesty and integrity who would do anything he could to help if someone needed it.
As a true community servant, Dave was a well-respected member of the Alamogordo
Rotary Club
for 34 years. He was a recipient of the prestigious Paul Harris Fellow Award and served in numerous positions. He spearheaded the Mexico Medical Project and traveled there to support Rotary's efforts. He was a huge supporter of the Alamogordo community and was active in several capacities. He was really dedicated to serving others above himself and brought that selflessness to his work and family every day.
One of the most important days of his life was in 2005 when he re-dedicated his life to the Lord. Through his strong faith and dedication to the Lord, the last three years have been a testament to the power of the message of Christ.
Dave was a jack of all-trades and had many interests. He loved his yard, which was perfect and had an overall love of the outdoors, which included fishing, hunting and traveling. One of his most treasured trips was when he took David fishing in the Northwest Territories. The expression on David's face after catching a 46-inch northern pike on his first cast was priceless. His favorite yearly vacation spot was the Hawaiian island of Molokai where he enjoyed the serenity of the natural beauty of His Creator. He also enjoyed the people and culture of the island. Later in life, he took up golf and enjoyed hitting the ball whenever possible. He also loved history and anything to do with the military. If there is any doubt, one only has to look for the large flagpole in his front yard. He loved driving his corvettes on a nice day and playing with his grand-pups when they visited.
He is preceded in death by his mother and father and a niece Michelle (Cook) Sabin.
He is survived by his loving wife of 27 years, Vicki, of the family home, children Laurel Chandler (Michael) of Anchorage, Alaska, Martha Fields (Todd) of San Antonio, Texas, and Darlynn Perea of Alamogordo, David Summerall (Kellie) of Medical Lake, Wash., and "adopted daughter" Cheryl Walker (Chris) of Gainsville, Va. Grandchildren Rebeka and James Chandler, Katlyn and Caleb Perea, Tiffany and Tim Summerall, and Brooke Walker. He is also survived by sisters Shirley Briggs of New Richmond, Wisc., Marilyn Hammerschmidt of Rosemont, Minn., Carolyn Cook of Newport, Minn., and Darlene Lanners (Chuck) of Hastings, Minn., brother-in-law Jon (Mary Lou) Grabemeyer of Eau Claire, Mich., sister-in-law Kris (Peter) Kugler Marco Island, Fla., and loving mother-in-law Margaret (Maggie) Grabemeyer of Alamogordo and numerous nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be Tuesday May 28 at 10 a.m. at Bethel Baptist Church with Pastor Howell Scott officiating.
Interment will follow in Monte Vista Cemetery.
Friends and family are welcome at family home at 37 High Sierra from 2 to 5 p.m. Tuesday.
A really special thank you to friends Wayne and Jan Sandvig and Charlie the therapeutic dog of Gilbert, Ariz. God brought these really special friends into their lives over the last three years and have become a part of our family and second home while going to the Mayo Clinic.
Special thanks are given to Karen and Eddie Norrell, our Bethel Baptist Church family, our Uptown Rentals family and all other friends for all their prayers, love and support over the past three years. Additional thanks are given to the ICU unit at Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center (GCRMC) and to Dr. Smaltz and Dr. Mansoor for all their assistance and medical knowledge.
Dave's motto for the order for living life was: God First, Family Second, Country Third and Self Fourth.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of David Winberg to:

Thanksgiving day diasters. Yours?
- b
- bnemes3343 Nov 26, 2008 04:27 AM
Thinking back on Thanksgiving day dinners, a couple of dinner-disasters really stick out in my mind. Actually, they both occurred on the same Thanksgiving, hosted by my sister (who I hope doesn't visit this site).
First was the mashed potatoes. She boiled them the night before and left them sitting in water until the next day. They basically turned to glue. Of course it was my job to finish them off, so I got the credit (not really) for the end product. They were horrible.
Second was her husbands brain-storm to try a new technique for cooking the turkey that he saw Martha Stewart do. She covered the turkey with cheesecloth and poured a bottle of white wine over it. Then placed at the very bottom of the oven with root vegetables under the bird. Problem was that by BIL's stove was gas, so the flame was an inch or two below the bird. By the time it was done, the veggies were burned beyond recognition and the drippings were horrible. And, it was my wife's task to make the gravy from this mess. Needless to say, the gravy was horrible, so she took the hit for that. (Of course everyone raved about all the food, despite the fact that is was horrible).
So what are your TDay disasters?
My first TD in my own apt. and I was cooking dinner for my BF and his parents... This was the before I knew about food safety, so I had put the frozen bird in the sink to finish defrosting while I went out to run some errands.
When I returned home, I found my cats had attacked the turkey, torn through the plastic and and eaten off the wing tips. When I walked in one (Zbigniew- it was the Carter era) was still lapping at the frozen breast with fierce determination. I ended up washing it and trimming the wings and soldiering on.
So it wasn't really that much a of a disaster. It is amazing how good-natured people can be about bad food. During that same time, I taught myself to make pecan pie. My first came out looking like something from a tar pit. I sent it off with the same BF when he went camping with his friends. Everyone assured me it was delicious, but perhaps everything tastes better when you're camping (and high if I knew them).
re: FuzzyDunlop
Similar tale of woe....A half hour into baking 2 pies to bring to The Feast, the entire neighborhood goes dark from a power failure. Can't go next door and use their oven. Hmm, should I light the gas grill and take my chances? Well, I left 'em in the oven for close to 2 hours and they were great. Maybe I've hit on something....Adam
P.S. Happy Thanksgiving CH'ers!!!!
Ours are never with the food, but rather the plumbing. On a number of occasions over the years, the drain line in for our kitchen sink & dishwasher has clogged -- apparently from an overabundance of potato peelings and congealed fat -- making it impossible to wash dishes either by hand or in the dw on T-giving Day. Most memorable was 3 years ago, when we had 21 people for T-giving. My sister-in-law & I spent the evening in the laundry room, washing in the basin there. I have read that the day after T-giving is the highest volume day for emergency calls to plumbers.
A friend of mine, not an experienced cook, was given a frozen turkey by her workplace. It was partly thawed when she started to clean it. She had heard that it's important to remove the little sack containing the giblets, so she reached in, starting at the neck end which was more thawed. She was reaching around trying to find it, and her hand slid through the opening and into the body cavity - and wouldn't slide back. Her frantic attempts to pull her hand back only made it worse as it began to swell from the tight constriction around her wrist.
She wrapped a towel around the turkey, called a cab, and was driven to the nearest emergency room, where they were able to saw the turkey open and release her.
She said the worst part was the fact that she worked at that hospital, and by the time she went back to work on Friday, the story - with photos - was posted on every bulletin board in the building.
re: judybird
When this post is done, I am going to give an honorary award to the funniest disaster. Right now I don't see how anyone can top yours. Could have been an episode on I Love Lucy!
re: judybird
Ok, so my wife is questioning the authenticity of this story. It just seems too funny to be true. Are you sure you're not a script writer for sitcoms? Any chance the pictures are still around and you could post them? That would ensure you're 1st place spot (there's no actual prize of course).
my sister-in-law and her husband always used to have TD. as the family grew it was decided to prepare a 2nd turkey on the weber. we read up on it and decided it would be best if we could first break the breast bone and collapse the turkey in order not to have the cavity fill up with hot air. so they got two large cutting boards out. placed the first one on the floor, placed the turkey on this board, then s-in-l held the other board on top of the turkey as b-in-l stepped on it. as he put his weight on it, she had to remove her fingers very quickly so they would not get crushed. this created a clam shell effect and the turkey flew out from between the boards and slid on the floor into the opposite wall! none of us could stop laughing, and it is still the single most retold TD story after 15 or 20 years.
I made some nasty sweet potatoe casserole in my crockpot last year. It was some low-fat recipe with chipotles or something. Needless to say, my husband was not impressed :)
A few years ago, we went to my in-laws for Thanksgiving. My MIL is not a great cook, mostly because she doesn't entertain a lot, although she actually makes an okay turkey. But the problem was when she put the dinner rolls on the very bottom rack in the oven and forgot about them. Smoke started pouring out, and then there were the flames. All was resolved pretty quickly but then there were the charred rolls...she was more embarrased than anything.
Then last year I made Thanksgiving. I have made Barefoot Contessa's Parmesan Smashed Potatoes so many times and they've always come out great. Well last year I decided to use that recipe as a basis, but use roasted garlic and cut out the parmesan cheese. I also decided to use Yukon Golds instead of the trustworthy Red Potatoes that I always used. Not exactly sure what happened, but the potatoes got waterlogged and the mashed potatoes were like soup. They tasted okay, if you drank them through a straw. I was so upset.
But I learned a valuable lesson...never will I make up a recipe when serving to company on a holiday.
my first year in san francisco, my roommate and i invited a ton of people over. we were very excited to entertain all our new friends, and when i was preparing the turkey i noted that somehow, when trussed, the bird resembled the face of a cow (don't ask). we named it Io or Europa or some sort of mythical cow-related name. spent the whole day cooking and at about the time the stupid bird was supposed to be finished, it wasn't. pink. waited some more. still pink. everyone was there, all the rest of the food was finished. still pink. everyone is starving. i pull the bird out and inspect it, and there are still deep rose juices flowing everywhere. it wouldn't cook. my roommate looked at me and said, "well...it SMELLS good."
my eyeballs starting vibrating in their sockets, i was so angry. i slammed the bird into the oven and stormed out of the house to pace by myself (bad form. i was only 23). i returned thirty minutes later and everyone enjoyed a lovely dinner, minus turkey, with everyone walking on eggshells around me.
the next day i told the bird that we were divorced because she was a faithless monster, and i ripped chunks from the carcass and dipped them in leftover buttermilk and a seasoned cornmeal mix, and deep fried them. they were the most delicious turkey strips i've ever had. my roommate agreed. i've never named a turkey again and our landlord fixed our oven soon after.
Sliced the tip of my thumb off on a mandolin one year. Whatever I was slicing kept rolling off the little holder, and I only needed two or three more slices, so I held it in my hand. Mistake.
One from childhood: Fritz the Weimaraner got the turkey, so we got pizza.
One from my second thanksgiving with my in-laws. Since the meal the year before was so bad I had to insist the my wife and I cook. This had the unfortunate effect of freeing up my excessively nervous mother in law's time, which she occupied by asking me every five minutes when the bird would be done and if it was going to be dry. Someone brought a sound activated toy gorilla that played the Macarena when anyone made a peep, opened a can of soda or closed the fridge. Nephew #1 ate his body weight in sugar and did an stunning impersonation of Linda Blair and brother in law # 2 held an evening long petition for a Russian mail order bride. We refer to it as the David Mamet Thanksgiving.
re: chilihead
oh my god. i am laughing so hard i just spit coffee on the keyboard. thanks chilihead!
This may have been Thanksgiving, or it may have been Christmas, but my dad was at the helm, and God bless him but sometimes he just has no idea. His thinking was that the (sliced) sweet potatoes could go in the oven after the bird came out, and would be ready in, oh, 15 minutes or so. I think the oven had been turned to warm, no less.
So the darn things were still hard, which was somehow my fault (as his assistant/scapegoat). OK, they go into the microwave, as everything else is on the table. They soften, and what does the good man have to put on top? Marshmallows. The mini ones. The multi-colored, multi-flavored mini ones that taste like sweet tarts.
I love sweet potatoes, but there was no saving these.
He'd also beat the potatoes in the mixer for five minutes, but Yukon Golds must hold up better to that abuse.
re: FoodChic
I have a favorite sweet potato dish made with kahlua that my 3 sons-in-law and I love but the rest of the family doesn't. Since I trust CI, this year I decided to try their lemon and bourbon sweet potatoes. I should have drunk the bourbon instead. When I took it out of the oven after 50 mins, I tasted and it was way too lemony to the point of being inedible. I grabbed the Kahlua and sprinkled some over the top. Then I grabbed TJ's grade B maple syrup and pour a few ripples over the top. Then I added the pecan topping and returned it to the oven. This dish was the hit of the dinner and everyone wants the recipe. One guest went back for seconds that only included a plate of sweet potatoes. OK, so it didn't turn out to be a disaster. How about the guest who brought stuffed mushrooms that had to be broiled at the last moment while she was off drinking wine with her boyfriend. Do you think that I worried that the top charred black?
When my cranberry muffins turned out like biscotti....The 'product' didn't make it to the dinner table. No need to add, I am not a baker....
One year I was ready to make gravy and poured everything from roasting pan into a very big glass Pyrex measuring cup. I did not know it would crack. Hot greasy juices ran down onto my floor and feet -- good thing I was wearing Tevas -- easy to clean. No scars, anyway but no great gravy that year. Now, I would only pour it into plastic.
Another ill-timed plumbing disaster story. This must have occurred pre-1970, as that's the year that my folks remodeled the house and added a second bathroom:
I used the bathroom while dinner was being prepped and noticed what looked like little pieces of potato peels and carrot scrapings in the bathtub, burbling out of the drain. At age 9 or 10, I'd never food coming out of a bathroom drain, nor did I understand that because that drain is lower than the kitchen sink, any back-ups would end up there. Either mom or dad had a fast, easy fix: pull the shower curtain shut. I thought I was related to a genius.
Next day, a plumber came to snake the drain (also the first time I'd seen a plumbing snake) and found that the roots of one of the trees in the front yard had grown into the pipe that connected our house to the main in the street.
Dating my now husand; first or second time at the not-in-laws, but will-become-inlaws. His Dad has a TD birthday so we bring a couple dozen oysters. I offer to open. (Have I opened before? No. Do I think I can. Yes.) I get asked if I need a towel and blithely offer, "oh no, I'll do this." First or second oyster, the knife slips, slashes into the base of my thumb, well, let's say Stephen King experience. I run away pretending all is OK. Not.
OK, to the ER, the meal's on hold.
An hour later, a tetanus shot and 10 stitches later, I'm laying on their couch, being fed an oyster by my FIL who opened all the oysters with a hammer.

ALAMEDA, California — A 72-year-old Northern California man has been charged with murder for what his attorney says was the mercy killing of his ailing wife.
The Oakland Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/1vIVqD2) that Jerry Canfield is scheduled to appear in court to enter a plea on Nov. 14. He was arraigned last week.
Police say Canfield walked into the Alameda police station on Oct. 26 to confess that he killed his 72-year-old wife, Joann, by shooting her in the head. He allegedly told investigators the two had previously agreed he would end her life if an illness left her in constant pain.
Assistant Public Defender Drew Steckler said police found physical evidence at the crime scene that corroborated what Canfield told them, including that he left a dozen roses at his wife's side.

Everyone waiting for a pullback keeps getting dissapointed as the stock market makes new high after new high. So as I write this the S&P stands at 1521.
I would love for all the traders out there to pitch in their thoughts on which will come first.
1) Pullback to 1500.
2) Advance to all time highs at 1565.
Share your thoughts in the comments section below. And just for fun, add in what you think will happen after your initial target is reached (go higher or lower?)

Rovio allegedly rejected a $2.25 billion acquisition offer by Zynga over the summer. The report comes from a New York Times piece about how Zynga's tough corporate culture may gush talent as soon as unhappy employees with stock make bank on the IPO.
The piece also mentions how Zynga lost out on acquiring PopCap earlier this year for nearly a billion in cash to Electronic Arts, which offered a mere $750 million with performance bonuses.
Clearly, if Zynga offered more cash and lost to a company like EA (which had its own share of image issues in the past), it's not hard to contextualize that the Farmville publisher has a slight employee perception problem. At least Zynga execs can dry their tears with thousand dollar bills.

Paving company reschedules completion
Date: June 18, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Florida Department of Transportation's Gulf of Mexico Drive paving contractor, Ajax Paving Industries Inc., will place a coat of permanent striping, called thermal striping, on the Manatee County portion of the road starting Sunday, June 21.
The contractor received permission from the town to perform the work during the evening hours. The contractor is expected to complete the work by Tuesday, June 23.
The striping, originally scheduled for Wednesday, June 17, was rescheduled for this Sunday.
Project public information officer Darren Alfonso said the noise from the two trucks doing the striping would not be excessive. No lane closures will be performed while the company completes the last phase of the paving project.

NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), a wholly owned subsidiary of NTT, today announced executives from the company's U.S. subsidiary will speak at PTC'13, the Pacific Telecommunications Council's annual conference and a premier Asia-Pacific telecommunications event, taking place 20-23 January in Honolulu, Hawaii. In alignment with the PTC'13 theme of Capacity, Capability, Collaboration, NTT Communications, a leading provider of transpacific network services, will offer its insight on game-changing opportunities and challenges presented by software defined networks (SDN) and big data for enterprises using transpacific networks and growing their businesses in Asia.
NTT Communications' Transpacific Network Dominance
NTT Communications' low latency, high capacity submarine cable systems include the Asia Submarine-cable Express (ASE), the shortest and most reliable route across Asian hub cites/data centers, and the PC-1 cable, the fastest route to Asia from the United States and back again. ASE enhances NTT Com's highly reliable global network services by boosting the capacity and strengthening the redundancy of its Asian cable networks. NTT Com's PC-1, the world's most reliable, transpacific, sub-sea network, provides a vital link between the United States and Asia and is particularly attractive to multinationals that require Asia-Pacific service. Additionally, the NTT Com Global IP Network, one of the three largest IP backbones in the world, maintains the largest provisioned capacity for transporting data between the United States and Japan. The extensive global infrastructure NTT Com owns and operates covers over 159 countries across Asia-Pacific, the Americas and Europe.
"NTT Communications is the best and only solution for anyone who's serious about transit between the United States and Japan," said Dave Engberg, CTO of Evernote. "Our customers expect the highest quality of service possible, and NTT Communications' direct routes to the markets that are the most critical to our business enable us to deliver just that."
Executive Insight on Software Defined Networks
NTT America's CTO Doug Junkins will participate on an Executive Insight Roundtable on Monday, 21 January at 11.45 HST. This panel of CTOs will highlight technological revolutions occurring today at all layers of the Internet, ranging from physical components such as optical cross connects, to network elements for wireless, wireline, and satellite systems. The panel will also cover architectures such as software defined networks and OpenFlow, and applications such as cloud-based software as a service. Traditional data centers are being replaced by software defined data centers connected by software defined networks, driven by everything from virtualization to flat data center networks, enabled in some cases by emerging technologies such as passive optical switches. These capabilities are being exposed by network application programming interfaces (APIs), providing unprecedented visibility and control to application developers. Mr. Junkins will elaborate on SDN from a network automation/API perspective and focus on how developing standard APIs will allow customers/operators to automate the provisioning and ongoing support of network connections.
Adhering to the company's Global Cloud Vision, NTT Com will offer a globally seamless cloud service to enterprise clients worldwide. NTT Com is the first provider to apply SDN technology through the OpenFlow API to its infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) offering, the new Enterprise Cloud. Networks based on OpenFlow can dramatically improve productivity and reduce costs. SDN supports businesses that have significant cloud capacity requirements, allowing for optimized traffic flows and cloud workloads between and among data center facilities and separate clouds. The technology sustains a more nimble and scalable provisioning model for bandwidth on demand.
"Executive Insight Roundtable: CTO Panel" location: Coral 1, 6th Floor, Mid-Pacific Conference Center
Big Data, Big Bandwidth, Big Opportunity
Mr. Brent Duncan, vice president of sales and marketing for the Global IP Network (GIN) of NTT Communications, will join industry experts for the Topical Session 5, "Big Data, Big Bandwidth, Big Opportunity," on Tuesday, 22 January at 14.00 HST. In the telecommunications space, providers of undersea and terrestrial networks have responded to petabytes of data with additional capacity (and higher line rates) through planned or accelerated upgrades, or through new systems. As a result, it is possible to move large data sets quickly across the globe and store them in new green data centers that house storage and processing systems with high-speed network interfaces.
Big data is also creating opportunities for providers to increase revenue by offering solutions involving these large data sets, from providing customers with better access to information with content delivery networks (CDN) to minimizing security concerns with protection against DDoS and other cyber-attacks. NTT Communications' own CDN solution, Smart Content Delivery, takes advantage of advanced technology to transmit big data quickly to data centers closer to end users. The company also offers an industry-leading DDoS Protection Service that helps mitigate large-scale attacks and keeps "clean" big data moving on to a network. Mr. Duncan, a security subject matter expert, will address these subjects as well as transpacific capacity during his presentation.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...
