Washington State women beat 20th ranked Ohio State | College basketball
Lia Galdeira scored 13 of her 15 points in the second half to help host Washington State upset No. 20 Ohio State 62-55. It was WSU's first victory over a ranked opponent since 2001.
PULLMAN — Lia Galdeira scored 13 of her 15 points in the second half to help Washington State upset No. 20 Ohio State 62-55 Saturday.
Washington State's defense forced 21 Ohio State turnovers — leading to 16 Cougars points — and held the Buckeyes to 1-for-17 shooting from three-point range.
"Exciting day for Washington State, after a tough road trip and back-to-back losses, the girls responded and came out and played physical and aggressive," said Cougars coach June Daugherty, a former Washington Huskies coach. "Tonight we had some hustle plays that really mattered. I give all the credit to our defense."
Washington State (3-5) led 28-23 at halftime.
Ohio State came back to lead 36-32, but the Cougars' defense forced three straight turnovers. Taylor Edmondson's three-pointer put the Cougars ahead to stay at 40-37 before a crowd of 700.
The Cougars posted their first victory over a ranked team since 2001.
"We gave this team a lot of different looks on defense, which created turnovers, and they were just not comfortable with it," Daugherty said.
Daugherty was a standout player at Ohio State in the 1970s, when she was June Brewer.
Tayler Hill had 14 points for Ohio State (6-3), but missed all nine tries from behind the arc.
"Washington State pressured us defensively and none of our guards responded to the challenge. Top to bottom," Buckeyes coach Jim Foster said. "We needed to come out and play hard from the start and we didn't do that."
Other Pac-12 games
At No. 1 Stanford 78, Pacific 43
Chiney Ogwumike scored a career-high 31 points and added 13 rebounds as the Cardinal (9-0), playing its first game in 13 days, beat the Tigers (7-2).
Ogwumike had her sixth consecutive double-double.
"I just enjoy playing and doing everything I can to make us look good," she said.
No. 14 UCLA 76,
Saint Mary's 62
Markel Walker collected 15 points and 12 rebounds to help the Bruins (6-1) beat the Gaels (6-3) in the St. John's Holiday Classic in New York.
UCLA will face St. John's for the tournament title Sunday.
No. 23 Texas A&M 79,
at USC 61
Kelsey Bone and Kristi Bellock scored 15 points each as the Aggies (6-3) beat the Women of Troy (3-5).
Cassie Harberts led USC with 19 points and eight rebounds.
At Loyola Marymount 73, Oregon St. 62
Hazel Ramirez scored 16 points as the Lions (6-5) defeated the Beavers (6-4).
Ali Gibson scored 21 points on 8-for-14 shooting for Oregon State, which made 30 turnovers.
At Utah 71,
Houston Baptist 33
Taryn Wicijowski and Michelle Plouffe scored 16 points each as the Utes (8-1) cruised past the Huskies (2-9).

I've just about had it with both of the Banjo burners that I have on my system. I've been using them for about 2 years now and they continue to give me trouble. Either the flame is too low or the burners go out with a violent mini exposion (for lack of a better term) and blow out the pilot light. I've tried different valves and nothing seems to work. Has anyone else had any similar problems? I think I'm going to replace them with a couple of basic turkey fryer burners. Any thoughts? Thanks, Mike
I've had similar issues. You need to make sure you have a banjo vs a hurricane burner. They look identical, but the orifice you need to make them work differs. Northernbrewer.com was very helpful in getting the right accessories to make my system run correctly.
Which fuel are you using? NG, Propane, how high are the flames at full open on the valve?. It sounds like you have been given the wrong jets (too small) or the system pressure on Propane is to low, the other item that could cause problems is the air shutter is opened too much for correct fuel/air mix. Most of the jets/ valves sold for NG have too small an opening for the gas and the flames are usually about 1/2" or less, this can be fixed with a drill bit and about 5 - 10 minutes effort.
I've used two different size valves that I ordered from Northern Brewer and the larger one allowes way too much propane to the burner because the flame is more like a ghostly blue fog than a proper flame. I've also tried adjusting the fuel/air mixture and thats not the problem neither. The flames are about a half inch or so high when everything is working fine. but they wont stay that way. At some point the flames will shrink to about 1/8 inch.
Is the tank freezing up? I remember people having issues with the standard size tank not being able to keep up with some of the high pressure propane burners. Could also be a faulty regulator or the safety valve is kicking in since it appears that the burner works and then stops performing correctly.
I would look at the regulator. Sounds like the culprit to me. High PSI system tend to be a bit of a pain if the tank gets about 3/4 low as well. does this happen when the tank is full and on a hot day?
I'm not sure if it does it with the tank full or not, but the weather doesn't seem to be an issue. I'll try another regulator and see if thats the problem.
Well, I tried a new regulator and that fixed the problem. Thanks for all the advice, Mike

I actually stayed at the Regal Inn which is associated with Flagship. I fell on the steps from the lobby. You really should have the handrails going all the way up, not just up yo the landing. I think this contributed to my fall.
1. The Bathroom shower water leaked constantly. 2. The bathroom sink was in the bedroom. 3. No one cleaned our room while we out. 4. The Walls must be paper thin because we could hear others in there rooms.
If you stay there you will know when each of your neighbour goes to the wash room. If you have the chance to stay at the first floor you can count during the night how many guests went up and down to the second floor...
Cleanliness and walking distance to restaurants and beach
Gentleman that checked me in wasn't the friendliest at first. Seemed very unsure of me and stand-offish. Eventually seemed to warm up, kinda.
clean and near beach
sloppy paint job and climbing 2 flights of stairs and noise through the walls
Loved that the room was nice and clean had everything we needed loved that they kept up with the Change in towels.
I think I have nothing to say I liked everything
Comfortable beds, very clean pool and close to the boardwalk
The room was dirty, the carpet was filthy. The room didn't have stove top like it said on the reservation and the microwave cord was to short and it didn't reach the wall plug. The staff was non attentive.
Bed and pillows were comfortable. Room was clean and just enough for two people for one night.
Door frame to room was broken. Luckily door stayed closed. Not enough towels were provided. No hand towel.
Great for a one night stay, everything you need.
No curtains on the windows, only a blind... Other than that it was decent
Location is good.thats the only thing i like.
The courtyard with grills is nice.
It's very run down. TINY toilet, clogs up after I piece of toilet paper. Mold in the shower, no extra blankets, dirty spread on bed, air conditioner had to be fixed, very dirty rug.
Run down dump
Cheap stay
They weren't very friendly or helpful
one tiny trash can, mini fridge didn't work (our leftovers, prime rib, went bad), door to the room was open when we went in the first time, no blanket (just a sheet and the comforter that you know never to touch), kitchenette was a joke (one sauce pan, one sautee pan, an electric 2 burner hot plate, a dish bucket, a dirty used sponge and the microwave was the size of a mini toaster oven (most stashed under the sink)! we used our beach towels as blankets and couldn't wait to check out!
Maintenance person was very good. Front desk was friendly and helpful.
Bed was hard. No phones in rooms. You could tell by the room and other exterior conditions, that they did not spend money on replacing broken and worn items. The doors to our room and another room should have been replaced. This is a below average motel. Many things were temporarily fixed.
We had a nice room with a view of the picnic area. The kitchenette was more than adequate. We had breakfast there in comfort without having to buy breakfast elsewhere.Bed was very comfortable. AC was good, too.
Not many parking areas for cars. Had to plug in AC unit, refrigerator and lamp to get them all working.
Location was great. Pool was a nice treat. People were friendly.
I think if u arrive an hr before check in you should be allowed to go in ur room. Ppl travel long distance and just to get settled in. The beds were very hard. Woke up wit back pain
Had a pool
Contacted booking . Com . If u booked through hotel website . It was 363.00 and through booking . Com it was 444.00. And we called booking. Com they said that it was a better room and if we booked through motels website we would be in a corner room on 3rd floor. Well that's where we're. I said something to the owner and was only concerned about getting the higher price
room was clean
The refrigerator in the room was off and unplugged. The room had a half roll of toilet paper, with no extra roll in the room. Also no bar of soap for the bathroom. They do not allow more than one car to park in the lot, which we did not know ahead of time - very inconvenient.
the bes good quality room easy trans quality i like this place
The staff was nice and friendly, the room was clean and everything functioned great. The beds were comfy and the location was right down the street from the beach/boardwalk. I woukd definitely stay here again.
The tv was kind of small, the bathroom tub was small for a tall person. And the doors were hard to open and close.
Location not far from beach and restaurants
Room was really out dated! To bad a clever carpenter and one day could really change the rating!
Pool and location
Not great cleaning service. Towels old. Parking lot tight and not enough spaces.
Headed pool

I had a session in which my boiloff rate was just way wrong (I'm still learning my kettle).
I typically calculate my gravity during the boil to see if it is approaching my target. I grab a sample, cool it to under 80 degrees, read temp and gravity, and correct it to 60 degrees.
I do this because measuring water volume is nigh on impossible (and wrong anyway) in mid-boil. So if all is going as planned, my OG should peg my calcs at the end of the boil. This thread is about what to do when the gravities are coming in too low.
In my session, I began noticing that my gravities were too low about halfway into the boil. I decided that I'd need to add sugars in order to achieve my target OG of around 1.072 (IPA).
I got to the end of the boil, shut down and left it hot. I added extract until my corrected gravity was at target, then I cooled, transferred to fermenter and pitched.
Now I know the typical scenario is to boil too little volume and then add water to thin it down. But in my case I had to raise OG.
The other option would have been to boil longer but then I would have ended up with high IBUs.
Anyone else run into this situation? I'll stipulate that I need to learn my boiloff rate but frankly I thought I did know it. I ended up with 5.8 gals when I thought I'd end up with 5 based on previous experience. :shrug: I even kickd up the heat when I saw the gravities were on the low side.

November Worship and Preaching
On All Saints Sunday we turn to the last book of the Bible, Revelation. In John's powerful vision he sees a great crowd so large that "no one could number." The atmosphere is one of celebration. Persons who have endured all sorts of earthly trials now stand in the presence of the Lamb crying out, "Victory belongs to our God." We are reminded that in spite of what we experience, one day we shall be in the presence of the Lord! Knowing and believing this gives us hope.
The second week of the month, we return to Matthew's gospel and another of Jesus' parables. There were ten bridesmaids anticipating being part of a wedding celebration. With the unexpected delay of the groom, we discover that five of the young women were unprepared. The parable reminds us of the importance of having and keeping the right priorities. It is so easy to become distracted that we lose sight of who we are.
On November 16, we conclude our yearlong emphasis on Matthew's gospel with the "Parable of the Talents." In the story three workers were given talents to manage in the master's absence. Two of the three successfully increased what they were given, while the third did nothing with his talent. God has blessed us with one life and he desires us to do our best. When we share our God given talents with others, we will be blessed.
Our focus on Christ the King Sunday is always on our relationship with Jesus. We turn to the Old Testament book of Ezekiel to discover that centuries before the birth of Jesus, the people longed for a Messiah from the royal line of David. We also discover another familiar image in this reading -- that the coming Messiah will be a shepherd who cares for the sheep.
The First Sunday of Advent we turn to the Old Testament prophet Isaiah. In an emotional appeal the prophet implores God, "if only you would tear open the heavens and come down!" There are times when we also desire some visible evidence of God's activity and presence in our lives and in our world. God remains faithful.
Each month the readings are shared as a way of encouraging persons to read and reflect on their prior to our time of worship.
Nov. 2 Revelation 7:9-17
Nov. 9 Matthew 25:1-13
Nov. 16 Matthew 25:14-30
Nov. 23. Ezekiel 34:11-16, 20-24
Nov. 30. Isaiah 64:1-9

Located on the top floor of this Art Deco gem (for decades known as the Tiffany before the New York jewelry retailer objected, but only after designer Todd Oldham transformed it into a hot spot), the bar offers a sleek and civilized respite far above the maddening crowds and the cars crawling along Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue. Daylight hours offer an uninterrupted, bird's-eye view of Lummus Park, the sands, and the Atlantic Ocean that will be recognizable as the backdrop for a number of fashion shoots. With the days getting longer, it's highly recommended for a sunset cocktail, whether you're entertaining an important client, gearing up for a big night on the town, or just showing the folks the sights.

Say what you will.
But,by asking us to not collectivize,you yourself collectivize in your post
You know,Can we all collectively not put all cops in the same mold,paint
them with the same brush
Can any of them cops show who pays for them?
Can they show in the const,their role?
Do sheriffs follow the whole const?or do,the greatest majority of them pick and choose what they uphold?
Can any of them show or prove they have authority over people?
Does that badge automatically create respect?
Do I,as a living breathing individual,have to bow down to another on this planet?
Isn't this what you are asking all to do here,or who read this post of yours?
If we deny truth before your very eyes,then the rest of what we have to say,is of little consequence

The service will be rolled out in 20 African and Middle Eastern countries during 2012.
If information is power, millions of people in Africa will soon get a taste as free cell phone access to Wikipedia becomes available later this year.
A deal between telecommunications company Orange and the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that operates Wikipedia, made the groundbreaking access possible and will allow Orange's cell customers free mobile access and downloads from Wikipedia without data usage charges.
"Wikipedia is an important service, a public good — and so we want people to be able to access it for free, regardless of what device they're using," said Sue Gardner, Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation. "This partnership with Orange will enable millions of people to read Wikipedia, who previously couldn't. We're thrilled to be Orange's partner in this important endeavour."
The service will gradually be rolled out in 20 African and Middle Eastern countries during 2012, with the first 8 markets located in Africa.
As a market for mobile phones, Africa as a whole has seen a 20 percent rate of growth each year for the past five years, according to reports. By the end of 2012 estimates say there will be a record of more than 735 million mobile subscribers in Africa.
"That is equivalent to a 65 percent penetration rate. Out of every 100 people, 65 have some form of mobile connectivity," Peter Lyons, GSM Association's director of spectrum policy for Africa and Middle East, told the BBC.
However generous and far-reaching the plan appears, some in Africa fear that although millions will have free access, countless others will still be priced out of the benefit.
"Although there is increasing ownership of smart phones, there is still a large number of people who cannot afford them," Catherine Ngahu, chair of the Kenya ICT Board, told SciDev.Net. "In order to widen reach, Orange should consider marketing lower-cost smart phones."

Disney Dining Plan

View Full Version :
Deluxe vs. Standard DDP
We'll go during free dining. Considering upgrading to Deluxe Dining. Can people tell me what their experience w/it has been? Their reasons for choosing it?
My reason is simple -- we don't like CS meals, and we do like signature meals.
If we stuck with the regular ddp, we would probably do a couple CS lunches and a couple CS breakfasts, and then paying for several "extra" TS meals OOP.
With the deluxe, it basically allows us to do TS for every lunch, and a 2-credit dinner almost every night. Which is more similar to how we would dine OOP.
As with any dining plan (QSDP included!) the best test to see which is right for you is to take a hard look at what you are expecting and desiring out of the trip.
If you would prefer to dine in the way DxDDP suggests (at least 2TS per night, several signatures, and 3 courses at most meals), then it should work out for you.
In my experience...
2010 - It was great. I never left restaurants too stuffed to move, and I saved ~$200 or so (solo). I was never too concerned about maximizing the plan either, as I had known what I was looking at ahead of time.
2011 - A bit less great. The food and such was still good, but my appetite lessened over the past year. I left many entrees and apps half-eaten, and flat out skipped dessert twice. There wasn't much different from the planning side either between the trips. I also picked up a cold for a few days of the trip, which really shot my desire to eat way down. (I even skipped Citrico's due to this!).
Would I do it again? Probably. If I go with Mom for F&W after she retires, I'd likely spring for it, but I'll have to space the meals out much better than I did this year.
Reasoning? I prefer TS to CS and like to have 2 sit downs per day (most commonly lunch & dinner). I prefer to try several signature restaurants during the trip, and since I'm touring alone, the downtime for the meals isn't a bother (in fact, it's pretty nice). I also can plan it all out pretty far ahead of time to help tweak the schedule and improve potential savings. All of which are my key pieces of advice for others doing the same.
I also have a firm grasp on how it works, which really helps in the planning and dining stages. For instance, I know that skipping dessert at two meals isn't going to wreck my bottom line, so I don't feel I have to order them all. I also typically use the snack credits for drinks (SmartWater works well, at $3.50 a pop) and a couple of the higher priced snacks.
If you've never done deluxe then try it. We have upgraded to deluxe a few times because we really like to have breakfast at CRT & the kiddos love MBYBBQ which take 2 credits. Have done HDDR & want to try the Luau, both take 2 credits. Then try a signature. If you don't do a lot of 2 credit meals you have to be real careful about spacing your meals as it is a lot of food. We ususally do a late breakfast or super early lunch then a late dinner. Once we did Cape May for an early bkfst, WCC for lunch & Biergarten for late dinner, lol. 3 TS is one day, never again, lol.
Ok, thanks. Helpful. Brings up another question, does the Standard vs. Deluxe have other differences between 1 CS and 1 TS for Standard vs. 3 TS for Deluxe. Does what you get included at each meal differ? Apps, desserts, etc.? Thanks!
Currently deluxe gives you 3 TS with apps & desserts, 2 snacks & a mug.
Ok, thanks. Helpful. Brings up another question, does the Standard vs. Deluxe have other differences between 1 CS and 1 TS for Standard vs. 3 TS for Deluxe. Does what you get included at each meal differ? Apps, desserts, etc.? Thanks!
At buffets, etc, there is no difference.
As regular TS restaurants, standard gets beverage, dessert and entree. The deluxe plan gets those things, plus an appetizer.
Standard gets 1 snack, deluxe gets 2 snacks per night.
For 2011, deluxe includes the mug and the standard doesn't. In 2012, they both get the mug.
We got the Deluxe 2 yrs ago, we ATE and we ATE and we ATE, there were several times we cancelled ADR's because we simply were not hungry,
We did several 2 credit resturants during the week and on the las night we still had 3 credit lefts.
This last time we did the Basic and it was perfect. Even still on the last day we had 13 snack credits to use in one day, it was perfect since we were going to Epcot Food and Wine, so by the end of the night we used most credits and then hopped over to the Mara and got packs of Zebra domes to go :)
We have done the Basis/Plus Dining Plan many, many times and love it - actually can't image ever going back to WDW without it. We upgraded to the Deluxe Dining one time and won't ever do it again. My kids and husband hated all the time it took away from the parks. Overall, I found it to be a huge waste of time and money.
Thanks for all of the perspective. We would likey not ever eat 3 TS meals/day. We would probably never do a breakfast, we just aren't breakfast people. Unless we should for some reason that makes one of the character dining experiences better at breakfast??
Anyway, my primary reason for doing the deluxe plan would be to ensure we could eat at the various 2 credit restaurants to which we'd like to go. MBYBBQ, Cinderella's Castle, California Grill, maybe the Luau @ the Poly, maybe Le Cellier. And, for the option to be able to have Chef Mickey's for a character lunch as often as DD 2 1/2 would like when we go back to CR for our break.
Are there a lot of people who use the plan this way? Has it worked out better for you to do Deluxe dining vs. paying OOP for a few of the 2 credit meals?
Chef Mickeys doesn't serve lunch.
It works pretty well to get the deluxe for 2-credit dinners, as long as you are also mostly doing TS lunches.
If you combine 2-credit dinners with cs lunches (or super cheap ts lunches), then you will probably lose money.
But a 2 credit dinner is usually a better value than a 1 credit breakfast plus 1 credit dinner.
We use the plan much in the way you're describing. We aren't breakfast people - at most we might have a strategic pre-park-opening character breakfast one morning. Most mornings, breakfast is coffee/tea in our mugs and a pastry or fruit cup (snack credits) for the kids. We plan TS lunches as a break/rest during our park days, and two credit dinners most evenings. We save some money with the deluxe plan and get to relax and enjoy Disney dining without thinking about the menu prices.
As Havoc said, however, your thinking with regard to Chef Mickey won't work out because they aren't open for lunch.

I like a break during the day for lunch and then a nice signature dinner. The DxDDP works best for me. My kids like it too. We enjoy not having to wait in yet another line for a QS meal. It is nice to eat on real plates with AC for lunch and dinner. Keeps us getting along and humming those great Disney tunes.:rotfl::rotfl2:
If it was just DH and I we would do the Deluxe. With our kids the age the are we do the Regular.
I have went with both Standard and Deluxe, and found that when we went with our children Deluxe was always to much. Using Deluxe dining cuts into play time a lot. Now that it is just the 2 of us going I prefer deluxe, I enjoy TS for lunch it breaks up the day, and lets you relax for an hour. We also enjoy dinner shows and Signature dining so the extra credits work out great.
I have not done the math this year but in the past the break even point for deluxe was always around 70%, so having a couple credits left at the end did not mean we lost money. With Standard the break even percentage was always much higher around 90-95% , so you really need to use your credits up with standard to be getting a good deal. Unless of course it was free dining. Like I said these figures might be off now it's been awhile since I did the math.
If you are getting FREE DDP then upgrading to Deluxe it might be worth it. But even for us getting the QSDP for free, it would cost almost TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS to upgrade us from QSDP to DLXDP for 10 days for 5 ppl. So we'll never know how great the DkxDp is. =)
We always go during free dining and upgrade to Deluxe. We just got back on Sunday and we were there for 12 days. It was just DH and I. We did breakfast OOP at the hotel. I used snack credit for a fruit cup and DH got coffee and a small breakfast. We had TS for a late lunch around 1 or 2 then dinner at 8 or 9. Lunch was around 100.00 to $130.00 a meal. Dinner $150 and up. We paid around $44.00 each a day to upgrade. So worth it. We went to the Luau HDDR and all the other signature meals. We had 14 snack credits left over and got $60.00 worth of candy to bring home for gifts.
We are going during free dining in March and will do the same thing.

We'll go during free dining. Considering upgrading to Deluxe Dining. Can people tell me what their experience w/it has been? Their reasons for choosing it?
we upgrade from QS to MYWD as we tried the deluxe and was way to much food for us. we eat all over with CS and not in food courts like wold gangs in DTD or Earl of sandwich or Flame tree in AK and seasons in Epcot at the land as were not sandwich people. so it works for us. you no longer get appetizer on MYWD this year or last year so do miss the salad if having a steak. :thumbsup2 then use TS for dinner for signatures and character meals.
My reason is simple -- we don't like CS meals, and we do like signature meals.
If we stuck with the regular ddp, we would probably do a couple CS lunches and a couple CS breakfasts, and then paying for several "extra" TS meals OOP.
With the deluxe, it basically allows us to do TS for every lunch, and a 2-credit dinner almost every night. Which is more similar to how we would dine OOP.
This is almost the exact same reason we do the DxDP. The hubs and I tend to book a TS for a late breakfast OR lunch. If we need to eat before/after we use snack credits. We love the opportunity to eat signatures almost every night.
Thanks for all of the advice. It seems like those who have done what I think will be best for us - TS brunch / late lunch and 2 credit dinners - have enjoyed it and thought it was worth it.
We'll go during free dining. Considering upgrading to Deluxe Dining. Can people tell me what their experience w/it has been? Their reasons for choosing it?
We upgraded to DxDP from free regular dining for our trip last week. My thought process for doing this was that we would be getting up early, even earlier than we do for work at home, having long days being very active in the parks, and staying out late. We'd be much more active than we are at home, and we eat 3 meals a day at home. So I figured with regular dining, we'd be paying for at least one meal a day OOP.
We are pretty hearty eaters and found the DxDP to be WAY too much food. We cancelled 3 ADRs because we were still too full from the previous meal or we were much too lazy to go to the ADR. When you have DxDP, you feel compelled to go to a TS restaurant and get your money's worth but we found two ADRs a day to be annoying and we were far more tired than we anticipated. There were several instances when we shared an appetizer or dessert, wasting the second one we were entitled to. At the end of our 7 night stay, we had 5 meal credits left over :scared1: So yes, we wasted money.
I say it was too much food because there is never an instance in "real life" in a restaurant where my BF and I would EACH order an appetizer and EACH order a dessert also. You also get bread at most places so an appetizer is not entirely necessary. If you do eat mostly TS meals, you'll rarely use your snacks because you won't be hungry or you'll waste snacks on bottled water just to use them.
Regardless of everything I just said, I have to wonder if part of the reason we weren't real hungry is because it was so hot and we were so exhausted. The heat took a lot out of us and we were really run down with little energy by the end of the week. I might consider giving DxDP a second chance on our next trip, because we will be going during cooler temps and won't be trying to pack in everything into our days, since we've done everything. If we find the same thing then, I'd rule out DxDP for any future trips.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
My boss is having troubles with her font managing software. She is using a G5 with suitcase and 10.3 fontbook installed. From what I can tell there is fight going on between the 2, and it involves the d.fonts. Any and all info would be appreciated about incompatibilities, resolutions to said trouble, and things to do to streamline the font management process.
I think that you need to write more info about the "troubles".
BTW, I don't think that "General Discussions" is the right place for your question. Try "Build".
can you post those "suggestions" here? i am having the same problem.
Walt, check your e-mail. I've just sent you some suggestions.
This thread will be moving to the BUILD area.

HOUSTON (CBS Houston) — Bristol Palin, daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, has reportedly filed a restraining order against a Texas man who sent her an engagement ring in the mail.
TMZ reports 39-year-old Michael Cummings was seen near the former Republican vice presidential candidate's house on Dec. 27 for 4-year-old Tripp Palin's birthday party. That's when Bristol Palin, who says she's never known Cummings, filed for the temporary restraining order.
Before showing up to the Palin house, Cummings reportedly sent Bristol Palin a wedding proposal through the mail saying, "I (heart) you," including an engagement ring.
TMZ reports that Cummings' own mother called police to warn them that her "unstable son" was in town to see Palin.
Bristol Palin was a contestant on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" this past season.

New York rapper 50 Cent recently talked about his artists dependency on him and why it is vital to let a roster consisting of Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo spread their own wings.
Fif pointed out the cut-throat tendencies of the music industry and why artists often have to fend for themselves through tough times.
"If the sh*t flops again it's like, "OK. That was the ball we threw against the wall. It didn't stick. F*ck it. Give us another ball to throw." That's how the music business works. So if you don't figure out how to build a consistency or how to develop a core, from the material that you're creating, chances are, you're going to be one of those balls that bounce off the wall while they're looking for the ones that stick. … I think Banks is… All of them. Every single artist that I've been around, I've overcompensated. They've been on records that say, "New 50 Cent!" and then you hear their voice." (Complex)
He also said gradually stepping away to give his artists shine should ideally help their solo careers.
"You want to offer them the opportunity to take your base and make it theirs, that their attributes will make them shine at different points because everyone is built differently. We're all made of something different. Even though we all function the same, as humans, we've got different qualities and talents. I'd like for them all to establish themselves in their own right and the way to do it is to give them space. You can shit or get off the toilet. As far as I'm concerned, you can figure out how to move or you can sit there until nobody cares you're there. It's not going to make me any bigger or less than I am now. And that's not towards Banks–that's towards any artist at this point." (Complex)
Last week, the G-Unit general talked about Banks needing to develop more on his own.
Fif also talked Lloyd Banks. There's been rumors of Banks having tension with the rest of G-Unit, but 50 says he's allowing Banks to "develop" on his own. After putting so much energy into Banks' career, he now wants to focus on his own music. "There's a point when artists need to develop themselves and their things on their own. He's reached that point," 50 explained. "You work for me but I'm working for you? That's the concept that's been going on their entire career… I gotta focus on me too." (Baller Status)
In early May, 50 explained why Interscope Records dropped G-Unit.
"The reason why G-Unit was dropped, so the general public understands: the reason G-Unit was dropped from Interscope Records was because the deal I gave them was so well-put-together for them that they were to receive $750,000 in advance on the next albums – each one of the artists. So they gotta remove that in this climate of sales. They just can't afford it." ("Bootleg Kev")

A sports blog by Bob D'Angelo
Bob is a longtime member of the Florida sports media, having served as a reporter and copy editor for more than 30 years. His true sports passion, however, is the history of the various games, exhibited by his in-depth book reviews and hobby of collecting cards and other sports memorabilia.
Baseball, family and life's struggles create a poignant story
BY BOB D'ANGELOTribune staff
"It's all right, set it free," the late singer Tim Krekel once crooned. "It's all right, we're all casualties."
In his debut novel, author Len Joy writes richly and darkly about an American family struggling during a turbulent time in U.S. history. Baseball is not the main focus of
"American Past Time" (Hark! New Era Publishing LLC, $15; paperback and ePublishing; 412 pages), but it does provide a backdrop as Joy follows the Stonemason family of Maple Springs, Missouri, from 1953 to 1973. And like so many novelists, Joy uses baseball as a metaphor for life and the decisions people make. And there are casualties in all walks of life because of some of those decisions.
Here's a nod toward a national bobblehead museum
BY BOB D'ANGELOTribune staff
Do you like bobblehead dolls? I do.
They're fun to collect and have come a long way from the generic, ceramic pieces of the 1960s.
Now, bobbleheads are produced with great detail and you can actually recognize the subject, although I still chuckle at the flat-bellied David Wells item I own.
A jaunty ride through an iconic broadcasting career
BY BOB D'ANGELOTribune staff
Even though he has made one of the most iconic calls in television sports history, Al Michaels still projects a guy-next-door image. He's the neighbor who visits with you and chats about the game on the TV, sprinkling in stories and bits of knowledge and perspective as the action unfolds.
It's not that easy, of course. Michaels just makes it look that way.
I was convinced Michaels was a regular guy in December 1983. I was in Jacksonville to cover the 39th annual Gator Bowl that pitted Florida against Iowa. I was walking through the lobby of the media hotel and peeked into a cubbyhole that served as a small game room — and there was Michaels, playing a video game. Don't recall if it was Pac-Man or Space Invaders, but he was beating it pretty good.
James' 'Handbook' perfect companion for hot stove league
BY BOB D'ANGELOTribune staff
So, whose shifts don't stink?
According to sabermetrics guru Bill James, the Houston Astros. Even though they lost 92 games last season, the Astros employed 1,341 shifts during 2014 and saved 27 runs to lead the majors.
That's just one of the new bits of information contained in "The Bill James Handbook" (ACTA Sports; paperback; $28.95; 586 pages). For his 2015 edition, James puts out his usual, exhaustive statistics — career data for every major-leaguer who played in 2014, the annual Fielding Bible Awards, career projections and targets, and a Hall of Fame monitor.
Collect call: 2014 Topps Supreme baseball
BY BOB D'ANGELOTribune staff
Topps Supreme has been a high-end staple for football collectors the past few years. In baseball, it has not been a mainstream product in the United States.
Until this year.
A two-card hobby box is available for collectors in the $60 to $80 range, depending on what website or hobby shop you visit. Each card will be an autograph card and will be numbered to 50 or less.
Baseball's most important people? Here are the poll results
BY BOB D'ANGELOTribune staff
The results are in, and Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson are the two most important people in baseball history.
Those are among the opinions gleaned from 262 voters (including me) who voted in Graham Womack's online poll, "The 25 Most Important People in Baseball History."
Womack is a freelance writer/blogger/statistics guy, and in September he created a 190-person ballot (write-in votes also were encouraged) available to anyone who wanted to vote.
A fresh look at an old baseball controversy
BY BOB D'ANGELOTribune staff
Writing about baseball history, particularly an isolated, controversial event that took place more than a century ago, can be a daunting task.
But author/historian Rick Huhn is equal to the challenge. A member of the Society for American Baseball Research and a lawyer with more than 30 years of litigation experience, Huhn uses his writing and legal abilities to blow the musty dust away from an incident that smelled bad in 1910 — and still has a lingering odor — and brings some fresh perspective to a fascinating chapter of baseball's dead-ball era.
"The Chalmers Race: Ty Cobb, Napoleon Lajoie, and the Controversial 1910 Batting Title That Became a National Obsession" (University of Nebraska Press; hardback; $29.95; 283 pages) is a well-researched, entertaining read. It shows that like politics, numbers can be used — or misused — to win a prize.
Collect call: 2014 Topps Valor football
BY BOB D'ANGELOTribune staff
After a year's absence, Topps has brought back Valor football, touting the attributes most of us admire in football players—courage, strength, speed, discipline and of course, valor.
With a gold foil "V" in the top left-hand corner of every card (reminds one of a shield) and a smoky, impressionistic-looking design, Topps lends a military air to this set of cards, which should appeal to collectors whose spending falls in the mid-range.
A hobby contains 20 packs, with six cards to a pack. Topps is promising an autograph card, an auto-relic, a jumbo relic and a patch relic in each hobby box. There are 200 cards in the base set, and parallels for each. A Speed parallel is included in every pack in a hobby b0x, and numbered parallels are included for Strength (499), Courage (399), Discipline (299), Glory (199), Valor (199) and Heart (1/1).
The uneasy relationship between two Brooklyn legends
BY BOB D'ANGELOTribune staff
Author/historian William C. Kashatus has taken one of the subplots of Roger Kahn's iconic baseball book "The Boys of Summer," fleshed it out and made it his own.
What results is a surprising, thought-provoking look at Hall of Fame teammates Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanella, their different approaches to fighting racism, and their competitive, often prickly co-existence.
In "Jackie & Campy: The Untold Story of Their Rocky Relationship and the Breaking of Baseball's Color Line" (University of Nebraska Press; hardback; $24.95; 234 pages) Kashatus digs beneath the surface to support Kahn's premise that in this "ironic rivalry," between two of the Brooklyn Dodgers' most beloved stars.
Collect call: 2014 Topps Update baseball
BY BOB D'ANGELOTribune staff
Topps winds up production of its flagship baseball product with its 2014 Update set, and it's a nice finish. Sharp photography, All-Star memories and traded players in new uniforms make for a satisfying product.
Some of the photography really pops. Card No. 203, for example, shows Cole Figueroa being doused by a bucket of Gatorade. The stream of liquid is frozen perfectly in the horizontal shot.
As usual, there are 330 cards to the base set, along with short-printed variations. A hobby box contains 36 packs, with 10 cards to a pack. That's always good news for set builders.

This is a per-program configuration. I am sure there is a ~/.tuxracerrc or something like that. Run 'apropos tuxracer' to find all the manuals appropriate for the game to see if one of them jumps out at you like 'tuxracerrc(5) - TuxRacer configuration file' or something like that.

In baseball scoring, a backwards "K" symbolizes the batter striking out looking. A regular "K" is used for strikeouts in which batter swung and missed for the third strike.
Because not all typefaces include a backwards "K", some styles opt for the nomenclature "Kc" for a strikeout looking; this stands for "called strikeout" and is contrasted with "Ks" for swinging strikeout.
The use of "K" for strikeout was necessary because the letter "S" was being used to signify sacrifice. Additionally, the abbreviation "SO" stands for shutout. The "S" abbreviation for sacrifice is rarely used as of 2014; instead, "S" is used for saves, whereas sacrifices are marked as "sac" for sacrifice bunts and "SF" for sacrifice flies.

WOE: Whatever I feel like that day....
Start Date: This time: 8/11/14
Opinions on Reward Meals/Days please
There is so much info out there on Carb cycling and reward days/meals.. Then, there's the Keto-adapted lifestyle that says we should stay in ketosis, and not venture out.
I recently read a book that says that once we are keto adapted we should do a 24 hour fast once a week and skip breakfast most days. The fast day should be after a "reward" day to replenish the glycogen stores... thereby keeping the metabolism burning hot..
I'm looking for opinions from those who have tried these things.. Is the cycling concept just a gimmick to sell more books, or does it have merit?
I don't believe in eating every few hours (as per some of the cycling gurus) to keep the metabolism stoked. I never want to eat if I am not hungry..
Opinions greatly appreciated as I start yet again on a LC journey.

WOE: LCHF/Keto
The rational behind a carb heavy meal just doesn't make sense to me. I've read that the idea is to reset the metabolism so that the body doesn't start to slow down. I know that many people try this trick to deal with stalls with very mixed results.
As for glycogen stores, why do we need them? If we're burning fat as fuel, they aren't important. Besides, the body will burn through the glycogen before going back to fat. Shouldn't that stall weight loss? I know people on keto who are athletes or do heavy lifting to add carbs but it's very controlled. For someone who isn't doing serious exercise, there doesn't seem like much of a benefit.
The next problem (from what I've read) is that once your body is keto adapted, a single carb heavy meal probably won't have enough of an impact to have a real effect on the metabolism. Your body will process the carbs but your keto adaption probably isn't ruined. You'd probably have to go pretty crazy with the carbs to do that and I'd say the health negatives outweigh any potential benefits from a 'reset', particularly if you have past binging issues. YMMV with carb tolerances but if you're super carb sensitive you probably shouldn't anyway.
I'm also not convinced that the body even *needs* a reset. I would think forcing the body to rapidly change from fat to carbs and fat again would be stressful. That leads to cortisol production, which has a negative effect on weight loss etc. Besides, I'm not sure the potential water weight and carb flu would be worth it. Lots of people have cheat meals/days and most don't really see much of a benefit in terms of weight loss.
As for reward meals... personally I don't want to go down that path. Rewarding myself with food was a part of why I got as fat as I am. This might not be an issue for some but it's something I actively want to quash.
Planned cheats can take you down the slippery slope but I think it depends on what you're eating, how much you're eating and whether you can stop immediately after the planned cheat. That said, I wouldn't do a planned cheat more than once every few months and it would have to be a single meal. I just don't want to deal with the cravings and other issues. Still, each person responds differently.

WOE: Lost Atkins/mod carb. Maint-HFLC
Start Date: Feb-March 2011
I will disregard the science because for me, it doesn't really matter.
I have done it both ways. Times when freedom to enjoy a weekly high carb meal or indulge in a dish meant better adherence to my woe long term. I've carb cycled . I've been in long term ketosis. There are times I know I lost better with higher carbs (not high carbs) and times when I dropped them because it felt right.
For me, none of it specifically mattered in terms of weight loss nor gain providing I ate mostly low carb as the mainstay of my diet and didn't overeat. In terms of weight maintenance--- overall low carb eating plan with off days for pleasure and just enough exercise to keep me honest seemed the best strategy!

WOE: Atkins - it's a diet
I am not one who thinks that you must stay in ketosis every day, day in and day out, for years to be healthy. But, I also didn't plan off plan meals during weight loss. And, i don't think that off plan meals do anything for the metabolism. I don't put much stock in the nutritional ketosis books out there now, it seems like the latest fad to me that is written for athletes and young men (calories don't matter/800 calorie coffees etc). I also don't want to live in fear of going out of ketosis.
I go off my usual diet now in maintenance and it works well for me. I am not one that believes that all grains are evil so I sometimes enjoy a sandwich made from real rye or pumpernickel or real old school brick oven pizza and then go right back to my usual diet with no problem. But, that's more about having my favorite foods in moderation.
I think the number one issue is whether you can go right back on plan. One meal or even one day off plan are not the problem, it's when you stretch it out to weeks and months that is problematic.

I appreciate the input! I think my confusion about what to do is just another way for my subconscious mind to stop me from just doing it!
I am just going to start doing it -- getting the carbs out -- and experiment on myself as time goes on..
Thanks again!

May work for some people, but most likely not most people on this forum who are wanting to drop a significant amount of weight. Sounds a bit like wishful thinking to me. I concur with Dottie, that rewarding ourselves with food is not a good idea for most of us. I don't think there is any conclusion that will hold for all of us, but I try to look for general trends. Ultimately, you will need to use your own judgment and give it a whirl if you conclude that it will work for you.
p.s. I think doing two weeks of induction or near-induction is a good place to restart. There seems to be more consensus about the effectiveness of reducing carbs.

WOE: Low carb/calorie cycling
My issue with this isn't the food or eating but the terminology (which I realize comes from established plans). To me, the term 'reward meal' suggests that my other meals are penalties for which I need a reprieve--thus a 'reward.' For me, that would lead to a sense of restriction and deprivation--for which I'd need more and more 'rewards.'
Over the past 4 years that I've been maintaining, I realize that the reason I was successful losing this time and subsequently managing my weight is that I totally adopted my WOE as the norm. It helps that I'm very carb sensitive, so I know that this is the best WOE for my health as well as for managing my weight. So I never saw any need for a 'reward.' My reward is weight loss and good health. And that helped me look at food differently.
I was raised (as many were) with food 'rewards'--the birthday cake, the Thanksgiving feast, the special ethnic foods for holidays--but now I see food as always special. I try to buy the best quality food that fits with my WOE, and I've learned to enjoy that food each and every day.
On my birthday, I may go out to dinner and have a glass of wine with my low-carb meal (this year it was an angus beef salad with avocado, with a shrimp cocktail appetizer). I don't touch the bread tray, nor do I have dessert. Those are things that don't fit with my preferred WOE, one that has kept me Rx free at age 73 (my thyroid hormone Rx are not considered 'meds').
IMO a lot of weight loss is due to our mental state, and if we're seeing restrictions and hardship in our eating and looking forward to reward meals, we're setting ourselves up for disaster. At least, that's how I view all this.

For my first year of LC, I did a planned cheat day about once a month. It was purely psychological, nothing to do with metabolic resetting or anything. It was a tool that kept me from breaking in will or spirit during the hardest days of adjustment. I didn't need to eat the (insert random carby food here) because I was never more than 30 days away from a day when I could have anything I wanted. I planned the heck out of those days and enjoyed them. And after a while, I didn't need them anymore. I've learned that any carb craving is momentary, and I don't really want to eat that food and it probably won't be as good as I remember it was* anyway. At over 3 years, I don't do regular cheat days anymore, though occasionally I do have something off plan. Either way, the mindset of it is that it is a cheat, not a reward, because food is no longer a reward for anything and it doesn't feel that way to me. And I go back to my regular food right away, no exceptions.
That being said, it has left me a bit lost lately because I used to use food to self-medicate in times of stress or depression and now I don't have it as a crutch. I wish I still got the same psychological relief from eating junk food, because I had to put my cat to sleep two weeks ago and food escape would be nice, but my brain has rewired itself. So even though I'm terribly sad and lost, food doesn't make me feel any better unless I'm hungry and need to eat. It also helps that I can't afford to gain any weight because none of my clothes would fit, and I'm at a point where I can eat all of the LC foods I want and not gain more than a pound or two. I'd have to cut calories to lose weight again, but I'm happy enough where I am.
*Except Doritos. Seriously. I don't know what they do to them, but it is black voodoo chemical magic.

Really, though, be careful what you wish for. Far better imo, though painful, to experience the sadness and sorrow. That may be a better way to honor our loved ones than to squash our feelings with food (or drink). That said, I understand where you are coming from. A little relief can be so inviting.

WOE: Back to low carb
Start Date: July 1, 2012
I have carby meals or snacks sometimes purely for psychological reasons and not as a metabolism re-set. The freedom to choose to eat things that I normally do not help me to keep on my plan long-term. That said, I am not perfect and sometimes I go off plan when I meant to stick to it, and, yes, it does lead to cravings. I find you have to be very accountable and know yourself very well for carb cycling (or even occasional off-plan meals) to work.
Major LCF Poster!
I never intentionally go off plan, but I certainly have unintentionally gone off plan.
That's frequent enough that I don't need to plan beyond that. I can't imagine that carb cycling would work for me. JUDD sounds really tough. I need to keep things simple and rededicate myself every morning to staying on plan.

Well so far no one has said that the planned cheat/reward has done anything to help them lose more... but, it has helped them stay on plan knowing they could have something they wanted in the near future.
Solar... so sorry about your kitty.. I totally know what you are going through, and I still turn to food and booze to comfort myself. I so badly want to "sit with" my feelings and just let them flow.
I envy those of you who have been able to totally change your mindset about what your WOE is for a lifetime. Part of my problem is that I don't really believe I can do that.. There's always hope..
Thanks for everyone's feedback!

It dosen't seem as though my comment quite fits with what you are asking,but....food is not a reward, it is not love, it is not comfort. It is fuel. The most unfortunate thing is that the human race has made food into something nature did not intend. The result is why many of us are trying so hard to lose excess weight, we consumed more fuel than we needed.

I just don't think it has been explored enough to say with certainty if there are any benefits. For me personally it's something I started doing every 2 weeks with a 5 hour window. I started doing this after eating clean for 5 months (once I had lost most of what I wanted to lose).
I do not do it in hopes that it will help me at the gym or improve my health... I do it because it helps me stick with this in the long run. I'm actually much more sure of myself that I will not fall off the wagon or have random cheat days because I know there is a day around the corner when I can have some pizza and sugary candy. The "ohhh no I can never have real pizza again" thoughts were what made me fell off the wagon last time. Now every other Sunday night I have one and I do not feel like anything is ruined because it's a part of the plan (a reasonable one... obviously it won't work if you do it every other day).
It takes me about 24 hours to get back in ketosis after the carb-night. I definitely feel it the day after, almost like I'm hung over, but the 2nd day I feel like my usual keto-self. I can't know for sure but from my personal experience I do not think it ruins the adaption if you were fully adapted before you started and don't do it too often.

Thank you, Patience and dipgal. It has been very hard. I've been having the feelings and flowing and all. I was lucky enough to have some time to prepare for it mentally, as much as it is possible to do so.
I've never found that a cheat day helps with weight loss, it was just about making the lifestyle changeover work for me.

I think everyone is very different. What works really well for one person, wouldn't work for another. Some will do great with IF, but others need to eat many smaller meals throughout the day. Some people can handle an occasional cheat meal, others can't. We all have to find out what works best for us personally.

Maximum - I thought maybe if your SIL was also adopted we could be sisters.. Uh no, my adoptive parents weren't wonderful, but they did the best they could as all parents do. I blame my mother for my issues with my self-esteem, body image and behavior around food - but I guess at the age of 58 it's time to drop that and take responsibility for myself. LOL
What I've gotten out of this thread is that like most things, it is all about experimentation and figuring out what works best for us. No shortcuts I guess.

WOE: low carb
Start Date: Jan 2014
Hi - I've had unplanned carby days for example when eating at friend's houses who have cooked without knowing I was low-carbing. I knew it wouldn't kill me (although it generally didn't leave me feeling *great*!!) and that with the amount of exercise I was doing, staying in ketosis wouldn't be an issue. To be honest, these days helped to remind me mainly of how dreadful I felt after eating carbs and really motivated me to go back to clean, low-carb food as soon as possible!!
I noticed before I started this that my friend who had great success on low-carb used very specific language when talking about food. He never said, for example, 'I'm not allowed that', he said things like 'I don't eat cake'. I adopted this and it seems to really help remind me that this is my choice - I CAN eat cake...I choose not to.
Also, I spend a long time browsing shops and reading labels and finding low carb things that I like even more than the things I previously ate. For example, almond milk to me is MUCH nicer than cows' milk (which is weird and disgusting) and only 0.1% carbs (practically negligible!). I get excited to try new low-carb things and enjoy it as a bit of a shopping adventure! I think this helps me not to 'miss' things as the new things are so delicious!!

Organisers of the largest antique fairs in the UK
The Newark International Antiques & Collectors Fair is world renowned. The ultimate of treasure hunting grounds, it is the largest event of its kind in Europe – a world-wide phenomenon, this is one IACF event that needs to be experienced to be believed!
Held at the Newark and Nottinghamshire Showground on an enormous 84 acre site, up to 2,500 stands attract thousands of dealers and buyers from around the globe every other month.
Only two hours from London by road, 90 minutes by rail and with East Midlands Airport less than an hour away, this is one of the most easily accessible of UK antique fairs.
With its vast number of stands, choice of product is never an issue – there is quite possibly every item you could imagine! From chandeliers and rugs, to sports memorabilia and paintings, not to mention the finest of antique furniture – the possibilities are endless!
Antique fairs can be big and small, but only one can hold the 'Europe's largest' crown – and that's Newark.

The Detroit Lions are an average football team. Their record says it, the numbers say it, the experts say it. Why then, doesn't it make sense? Looking at the team on paper leads me to believe that they can be a legitimate contender. Then I turn my television to the game on Sunday and my brain and eyes don't agree. To be fair, injuries have killed this team. Without Louis Delmas, the Lions' defense isn't the same monster. Now the team may be without Chris Houston and Cliff Avril, both of whom left Sunday's game with injuries. The injuries have been bad, but why can't they score first half points? Does Matt Stafford sleep through the first three quarters, then realize there's a game to be played? He's fantastic once he does turn it on, but by then it's too late. Sadly enough, the Detroit Lions are now out of playoff contention. Admit it. That's the first step to recovery. Corrections: Seattle game was 2.5 weeks ago, Ponder was 24/32 this Sunday, and Suh has been penalized only once this season. That said, he has only 14 tackles and 3.5 sacks.
