Hockey Player Quits On Facebook

from the ChronicleLive,
Newcastle Vipers have lost their top scorer after Todd Griffith resigned from the club using social networking website Facebook to inform fans he had quit Rob Wilson's side.
His controversial exit comes in the same weekend that he slotted home the vital penalty during a shoot-out last night in Murrayfield, which sent Vipers into the semi-finals of the British Knockout Cup after a 6-6 aggregate draw against Edinburgh Capitals.
The player – who once iced for Tampa Bay Lightning in the NHL as a "try out" player – leaves Tyneside as their 16-goal top scorer, with eight assists to boot.
Canadian Griffith was one of a number of players who was on a two-week notice period which Wilson had exercised in order to raise performance levels.

Forget The Bulletin Board Material

from The Good, The Bad And The Duthie,
Kicking a soccer ball around in the bowels of Scotiabank Place, Magnus Svensson-Paajarvi hardly looks like the personification of evil that some diehard Team Canada fans now believe he is.
Last week, Svensson-Paajarvi told a Swedish Newspaper that (translated from Swedish):
"If we play Canada in the gold medal game again, we will win." He also made a comment that, depending on your Swedish translator, was either: "If we go up 2-0, Canada will be s***ing their pants" or "If we go up 2-0, that will really change the game."
I've heard it interpreted both ways. He also says if Sweden falls behind 2-0, they're in big trouble. But nobody bothered to read that far.

Enough Of The Goal Celebration At The Bench

from Damien Cox of the Spin,
Where in the world did this dopey tradition of a parade to the bench for high fives all around after every goal begin?
It's childish. Watching NHL players do it like they were peewee players is laughable. What ever happened to the great tradition of the game in which a goal was scored, there would be a celebration near the net, and then they'd just line up and drop the puck again?
Having teams skate right in front of the opponents bench after a goal is simply taunting on a team-wide scale. Moreover, in a heated game, you're just asking for trouble. Basically, you're allowing teams to celebrate twice - once in a little hug session, once with a fly-by for high fives at their bench.
a bit more in regards to the WJC…

Russia Looking For Revenge

from Matthew Sekeres of the Glob and Mail,
Because it took place during the NHL playoffs in a remote part of Russia, not a lot of North American fans saw Canada's 8-0 demolition of the host country in the gold medal game of the world under-18 hockey championships last April.
But the Russians haven't forgotten the humiliation.
His equipment had not yet been shed after a 5-1 victory over the Czech Republic in a world junior championship semi-final on Friday when centre Evgeni Grachev mentioned the Creaming in Kazan and said that Mother Russia owed Canada some payback.
Meanwhile, five players on Canada's world junior team, and head coach Pat Quinn, helped author the annihilation, and most admit that it was one of those games where the stars aligned and where everything turned up maple leafs.
continued and you can catch the Canada/Russia game on the NHL Network in the US or TSN in Canada at 7:30pm ET tonight. The other semi-final game begins at 3:30pm today with Sweden taking on Slovakia.

Something Needs To Be Done

from Damien Cox of The Spin,
No, the late Don Sanderson should not be turned into a martyr for the anti-fighting crowd.
On the basis of what we know, he might well have been the first guy to say that fighting was part of the game, and that he knew what he was getting into that fateful Dec. 12 night while playing for the Whitby Dunlops. He died earlier today, and his family, one imagines, wouldn't want to see his memory manipulated for the purposes of anyone's political agenda.
At the same time, however, it would be equally wrong to pretend for the sake of the pro-fighting constituency out there that this was somehow just an accident that was unavoidable and could happen to anyone who laces up a pair of skates.
We cannot simply ignore the terrible truth that a young man has been killed in a hockey fight, that hockey violence has claimed a life.

Filitov Playing With Heavy Heart

from Gare Joyce at Sportsnet,
Out on the ice, it was hockey skills and smiles. Nikita Filitov tore it up yesterday, racking up a hat trick and generating a scoring chance on practically every shift in Russia's 8-1 steam-rolling of Slovakia at the Civic Centre.
After the game it was surprising English skills but no smiles. Not when talk with Filatov turned to the death of his "best friend in hockey," Alexei Cherepanov….
"He is all the time in my mind," Filatov says.
Understandable. This is Filatov's first international tournament since Cherepanov's death. Filatov won't come out and say it but it's apparent to anyone familiar with this Russian team: Cherepanov would have been expected to lead this team, but it now falls to him. Cherepanov would have worn the captain's K, but that's now sewn over Filatov's heart.

13 Claims. (Cl. 15-121) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A moplike device having interchangeable heads, an applicator element mounted on the head and a handle pivoted to the head, said head including a head plate, said handle having a lateral arm extending along the head plate, the head plate having a journal tube in which said arm is removably engaged, the head plate having an upstanding button-like detent adjacent one end of the journal tube, the lateral arm of the handle having a rounded cam knob and an annular groove behind said knob engaged with the upstanding button detent, an edge of the head plate and an edge of the applicator element being formed with registered transverse slots extending toward the entering end of the journal tube and through which the handle can move when the lateral arm is turned in the journal. The head plate can be made in various forms, one including a squeegee plate, and the applicator element may also be formed in various configurations to receive the head plate.
This application is a continuation-in-part of my copending application Ser. No. 522,192, filed Jan. 21, 1966, now abandoned.
This invention relates to handle-equipped implements designed for floor, wall, window, and general dry and wet cleaning of surfaces, and particularly to implements of this kind which are composed of heads, to which cleaning or applicator elements are adapted to be applied and removed, and handles to which the heads are interchangeably connectible.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of efficient, simple, versatile, and easily used devices of the kind indicated above, each of which is composed of a single handle component, and one or more head components, the head components being interchangeably applicable to the single handle, for the performance of a variety of diiferent cleaning or allied operations, whereby the expense of providing, storing and handling a similar number of specialized handle-equipped implements is eliminated.
Another object of the invention is the provision of devices of the character indicated above, wherein the cleaning or applicator heads are composed of single plates formed with lengthwise tubes, and with a detent member at one end of the tubes, and the single handle is provided, at its distal end, with a lateral arm adapted to be engaged endwise through the tube of any of the heads, this lateral arm terminating in a detent knob adapted to be engaged over the detent member to lock the arm securely and rotatably in place in the tubes.
A further object of the invention is the provision of devices of the character indicated above, wherein the heads are formed, through one edge thereof, with transverse slots which enable the handle to be rotated, relative to the heads, through wide angles, in order to enable and to facilitate the reaching to and the proper application of the heads to surfaces in otherwise difficult to reach locations.

Referring in detail to the drawings, and first to FIG- URES 1 to 4 thereof, the device 10 shown comprises a head 12, to which a cleaning or applicator element 14 is attached, and a handle 16.
The head 12 comprises a fiat, longitudinally-elongated plate 18, having squared ends 20, and parallel forward and rear edges 22, 24. Centered on the top of the plate 18, between the edges 22, 24, is a longitudinal journal tube 26, having an inner end 28 located at the mid-length point of the plate, and an outer end 30 spaced at a substantial distance from the related end edge 20 of the plate.
The plate 18 is formed with a transverse slot 32 which extends forwardly from the rear edge 24 of the plate, and has a closed forward end 34 located at the inner end 28 of the journal tube 26, the adjacent edge 36 of the slot 32 being preferably in line with the inner end of the tube. The slot 32 provides clearance for the handle 16, as hereinafter set forth.
The plate 18 is formed, as by out-pressing the material of the plate, with a pair of longitudinally-elongated, longitudinally-spaced, rounded detent buttons 38. The buttons 38 are located midway between the journal tube 26 and the rear edge 24 of the plate 18, and adjacent to and equally-spaced from the ends of the plate 18. The detent buttons 38 serve to position and retain, on the plate 18, a squeegee member, as hereinafter detailed.
The plate 18 is further formed, at a location in line with and spaced outwardly from the outer end 30 of the journal tube 26, with a single transversely-elongated detent button 40. The button 40, like the detent buttons 38, is preferably formed by out-pressing of the material of the plate 18.
The plate 18 is further formed, along its edges 22, 24, with preferably integral upstanding T-rails 42 which serve to efliciently and securely retain, as to the plate 18, related portions of a work element, such as a foam rubber cleaner pad 44. The opposed edges of the heads 45 of the T-rails are formed with retaining teeth 47.
The element 44, which can be supplanted by other appropriate elements, comprises a sheet having a main working portion 46 engaged with the underside of the head plate 18, and edge portions 48. As shown in FIGURES 2 and 6, the edge portions 48, with the main portion 46 stretched, are simply brought up and around and over the T-rails 42, the free edge portions 50, of the element then being manually-convoluted and compressed and jammed between the top of the plate 18 and the underside of the inner flanges 52 of the Trails. Release of the element 44 from the head plate 18 involves merely pulling the free edge portions free, instead of involving the removal of screws, clamps, or other bothersome retaining means.
The handle 16 comprises a rigid bar 54 of suitable diameter and suitable material having fixed to and extending from its distal end a rigid, reduced diameter, preferably metal rod 56. The rod 56 has, at its outer end, a right-angular lateral arm 58, of the same material as the rod, and of a length to engage through the journal tube 26 and reach beyond the single transverse detent button 40.
The lateral arm 58 is of a diameter to slide and turn snugly through the journal tube 26, and terminates at its outer end in a rounded knob 60, designed to cam over the button 40 in either direction. The arms 58 and/ or the button 40 have limited resilience which provides for their being somewhat distorted as the knob 60 is cammed over the button 40, and for the frictional holding engagement with the button 40, of an annular groove 62 formed in the arm 58 behind the knob 60, as shown in FIGURE 2. With the groove 62 engaged over the button 40, the rod 56 of the handle 16 is close to and can bear against the adjacent end of the journal tube 26; and the rod 56 is positioned to work freely through the slot 32 of the plate 18.
As shown in FIGURES 1, 3 and 4, the element 44 is formed in its main portion 46, and in its adjacent edge portion 48 and free edge portion 50, with a slot 64 which is registered with the plate slot 32, and provides for the free movement of the handle rod 56 through both slots.
The above-described connection of the handle 16 to the plate 18 not only provides for quick and easy connection and disconnection of the handle from the plate by endwise movements of the handle arm 58, relative to the journal tube 26 and the detent button 40, but also provides for swinging the handle 16, relative to the head plate 18, through a wide angle relative to the plate, in order to reach and manipulate and apply the head to work in difficult to reach places. As shown in FIGURE 6, the handle 16 can be positioned in the plane of the head 12 as for reaching between closely-spaced surfaces to be cleaned, such as the opposed glass panes of related window sashes, and the like.
As shown in FIGURES 5 and 6, a squeegee 66 is adapted to be applied to the head plate 18, in the space between the journal tube 26 and the rear edge of the plate 18. The squeegee 66 comprises an elongated fiat base plate 68 having forward and rear edges 70, 72. A longitudinallyelongated slot 74 is formed in the base plate 68, from its leading end edge 76. The slot 74 is narrower than the full diameter of the journal tube 26, so that, as shown in FIG- URE 6, when the squeegee base plate 68 is slid endwise along the top of the head plate 18, with the slot 74 aligned with the tube 26, the edges of the slot 74 engage beneath related side checks of the tube, whereby the squeegee is accurately positioned in place. For yieldable retention of the squeegee in place, the forward edge '70 of the base plate 68 is formed with a pair of longitudinally-spaced detent seats which are formed and located to retain- 4 ably-snap over the longitudinal buttons 38, of the head plate 18.
A resilient squeegee element 82 is composed of a horizontal flange 84, which is suitably-secured, as indicated at 86, upon the squeegee base plate 68, along its other edge 70, and an upstanding, right-angular flange 88 having a thin working edge 90, which reaches sufliciently beyond the edge components of the element 44, as shown in FIG- URE 6, for eflicient squeegee action upon a surface 92, with the head 12 held parallel thereto.
The form of device 10a shown in FIGURES 7 and 8, is composed of a head 12a devoid of Trails, and handle 16a, otherwise similar to those of FIGURES 1 to 6, but a different applicator element 14a. Comparable parts of head 12a and handle 16a are given the same reference numerals followed by a as applied in the FIGURES l-6 embodiment.
The element 14a comprises a solid block 44a such as sponge rubber, which is longer and wider than the head 12a, and is of substantially larger cross-section. Midway between its ends the block 44a is formed from its rear edge, with a slot 93, which is registered with the head plate slot 32a. From one end of the block 44a the same is formed with a centered longitudinal slot 94, of the cross-section of the head plate 18a, which has a closed end 96, near the other end of the block 44a. Application of the block 44a to the head plate 18a is done by sliding the block endwise thereon, by means of the longitudinal slot 94, until the slots 93 and 32a coincide. The block 44a is then deformed by passing the knob end of the arm 58a of the handle 16a through the block slot 93 and into the journal tube 26a.
The form of device 10b, shown in FIGURES 9 and 10, involves a handle 16b similar to the handles of FIG- URES 1 to 8, but has a head 12b and an applicator element 14b of differing forms. Comparable parts of head 12b, applicator 14b and handle 16b are given the same reference numerals followed by b as applied in the FIG- URES 1-6 embodiment.
The head 12b comprises a head plate 18b similar to the above-described head plates, except for the provision thereon, at the ends thereof, and at related edges thereof, of opposed, inwardly-directed hooks 42b.
The cleaning element 44b is in the form of a string mop, having an open wire frame surrounding the plate 18b, affording opposed and laterally inwardly-extending loops 102, which are adapted to be snapped into place between the top of the head plate 18b and the hooks 42b.
The device 110, shown in FIGURES 11 to 17, comprises a flat, elongated rectangular head plate 112, preferably hollow, as shown in FIGURES 12 and 13, having an upper surface 114, a forward edge 116, a rear edge 118, and end edges 120, 121.
A longitudinal, squared groove 122 is formed in the top of the plate 112 and opens to the end edges 120, 121 thereof. The groove 122 is slightly offset to the rear center line of the plate 112 and includes the slot portions 122A, 122B having adjacent confronting and communicating ends. A transverse slot 124 opens to the rear edge 118 and to the groove 122 of the plate 112 substantially at the junction of the slot portions 122A, 122B and has forwardly-converging sides 126, which have spaced forward ends 127.
The slot portion 122B is wider than the slot portion 122A which serves to permit the connecting end of a mop handle to move into connecting engagement with the plate 112 at substantailly a flat angle rather than at a substantially upright angle had the widened slot portion 122B not have been provided.
A longitudinal journal tube 128, shorter than the distance between an end edge of the plate 112 and the adjacent slot end 127, is suitably-formed or fixed upon the bottom of the groove 122, and has an inner end 132 even with the adjacent slot side end 127. In the space between the outer end 134 of the tube, and the adjacent plate and edge, the material of the plate is deformed to provide an upwardly-bowed spring detent 136.
A removable handle 138, similar to the handles of FIG- URES 1 to 10, has a lateral arm 140 longer than the tube 128, which is rotatably and slidably-engaged through the tube and is formed, adjacent to its. free end, with an annular detent groove 142 which is adapted to engage over the detent 136. When so engaged, the rod 144 of the handle is in line with the V-shaped slot 124.
The above arrangement frees the top of the mop head plate of any upward projections, other than the handle 138, and the handle can be pivoted to a position within the slot 124, wherein the handle does not project above the top of the plate. This condition enables the plate 112 to accept freely thereover a removable tubular pad 146.
The length of the pad 146 is somewhat longer, preferably, than the length of the head plate 112, as indicated at 146A, 146B, and its girth is proportioned so that it fits loosely around the plate 112, as shown in FIGURES 12 and 13. The pad can be of real or artificial lambs wool, or of a foam rubber composition. The pad is formed in its rear side 148 and through its top flight 150 with a central transverse slit 152 which is substantially narrower than the width of the handle rod 144, and which reaches forwardly, only to a point 154 spaced rearwardly from the head plate groove 122.
As reinforcement for the area of the slit 152, the underside of the top flight 150 and the inner side of the rear side 148, of the pad 146, have suitably-secured thereto a single circular reinforcing patch 156, 158, respectively. As shown in FIGURE 17, the patch 156 is formed in its rear edge with a forwardly-tapered slot 160. The slot 160 is shorter than the V-shaped head plate slot 124, but is registered with the forward end thereof to provide for passage of the handle rod 144 therethrough. A similar tapered slot 162 is formed in the upper edge of the patch 158.
With the above-described arrangements, the pad 146 rotates relative to the mop head plate 112, as the handle 138 is pivoted relative to the plate, so that different areas of the bottom flight 164 of the pad can be presented to the work.
In installing the pad 146 on the head plate 112, the operator first inserts the handle arm 140 into the loose pad 146 through slit 152 and then slides the pad 146 endwise over an end of the plate 112 toward the other end of the plate to partially insert the arm 140 in journal tube 128. The sliding of the pad over the plate 112 is continued until the handle arm 140 passes completely through the tube 128 and its groove 142 engages over the detent 136. The handle rod 144 may then be turned into slot 124 of the head plate.
Swinging the handle 138 downwardly, to the position shown in FIGURE 11, serves to loosen the bottom flight 164 of the pad 146 relative to the underside of the head plate 112. With the handle in an erect position, the bottom flight 164 of the pad is held flat against the underside of the plate 112.
Where additional scouring action is indicated or desired, a flexible open-work scouring sheet 166 is provided to cover the underside of the bottom flight 164 of the pad 146. The scouring sheet 166 is of substantially the same dimensions as the underside of the head plate 112, and is removably-secured in place by suitable means, such as strings 168 attached to the corners of the sheet. As shown in FIGURE 15, the strings 168, at related sides of the sheet 164, are adapted to be passed toward each other between the upper flight 150 of the pad 146, and the top of the head plate 112, and tied together at either end of the plate, as indicated at 170.

|Hospitals in The Netherlands
The VU University Medical Center Amsterdam (Dutch: VU Medisch Centrum or VUmc) is the university hospital affiliated with the VU University Amsterdam. It was created in 2001 by the merger of the Academic Hospital of the VU University with the medical school of the VU University. It is one of the largest and leading hospitals of The Netherlands, located next to Amsterdam's A10 ringway in the southwestern part of the city, next to the campus of the VU University and close to Schiphol airport.
The VUmc has an intensive cooperation with the other university hospital of Amsterdam, the Academisch Medisch Centrum (Academic Medical Center), which is affiliated with the Universiteit van Amsterdam (University of Amsterdam), Amsterdam's other university.[2]
Tertiary care departments include advanced trauma care, pediatric and neonatal intensive care, cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, infectious diseases and other departments. A medical emergency rescue helicopter is also affiliated with the hospital.
Special units include:
- Neurosurgery
- Cardiothoracic surgery
- Neonatal and pediatric surgery and intensive care
- Pediatric oncology
- Level I trauma center (including trauma helicopter)
24 Hours in A&E[edit]
The reputation of the institution has taken a downfall after reports in the media about the TV program 24 uur: tussen leven en dood (based on 24 Hours in A&E). A total of 35 high grade security cameras and 35 microphones were installed in the emergency department of the hospital, in the parking garage stood a container with monitors for every camera and production company staff. This lasted for a period of 16 days in January and February 2012. Taping would only be initiated after consent of the individual patient, by creating a protocol and by providing folders and posters in its emergency room, the VUmc attempted to safeguard its patients rights and interests.
It was expected that there would be patients that would need medical care before permission could be asked or given. Also patients in an emergency situation might fail to comprehend or to notice the posters and flyers informing of the camera's. The VUmc had not foreseen this would mean secretly letting a 3rd party in on confidential matters and that this could mean it would be breaking the law, its own code of ethics and national guidelines.
Although it already had received complaints, the VUmc publicly denied allegations were made, only admitting to wrongdoing in a single case. After several unsuccessful television interviews with its directors the hospital fell silent, changing its media policy and only commenting in written press statements including a public apology. The way the program was made and the handling of the media afterwards raised questions about the competence of the directors in the press, in parliament and among medical staff at the VUmc.
After broadcasting [1] the first episode the show was cancelled [2] at the request of the VUmc. The hospital, the producers and the network agreed to share in the production cost of the program, totalling almost 600.000 Euros. This was again criticized in both the press and parliament for the alleged misuse of funds supposedly earmarked for healthcare.
Initially 3 patients made charges [3] [4] against the hospital, the production company and individuals involved for the breaking of doctor-patient confidentiality, illegal wire tapping and the breach of Dutch privacy laws. The public attorney's office is currently investigating the matter but has yet to file charges. Over 1500 patients were treated at the time of the filming, 215 of them were found to be of interest to the program and only they were asked for permission, 65 of them refused to give permission.

There is a longing in our hearts to hold dear to us the memory of Kate Allen, who left us on November 1st, 2010 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born on May 9th, 1966 in Westminster, California to Robin (from Northern Ireland) and Christina (from England). The Allen family moved back to England in 1979, where Kate finished her schooling and attended Sulihull College. While in England Kate refined her softball skills and became an accomplished player. She was chosen for the Great Britain national softball team in 1984. In 2007, England recognized Kate's softball accomplishments by inducting her into the British sports hall of fame. After living in Holland for six years, Kate moved to the United States in 1993 and pursued her career in pharmaceutical research. She lived her life to the fullest, truly embracing her mantra to Dream, Imagine, and Believe. Her kindness and gentle spirit drew people to her. She was preceded in death and now joins in spirit, her father Robin, Aunt Evelyn and Aunt Sharon. Kate leaves behind her loving partner Teresa Barker, who will carry her memory forever; her mother Christina of England; her loving brother Stuart who traveled from England several times to support Kate through her journey; sister in law Linda, nieces Beth and Becka, nephews Jacob and Hamish; Aunt Kathy and Uncle Bob Blundell and many other Aunts, Uncles and cousins in England, Ireland, Hong Kong and the states; and many dear friends and extended family. Kate would want to thank her family, wonderful friends, for their unwavering love, time, and support during this difficult time. In her memory, please take a moment to imagine what dream you've held on to, believe in it, and make it a reality.
Visitation is on November 3rd from 5pm to 8pm with prayers being said at 7:30pm at Willow Glen Funeral Home. Funeral services will be held on November 4th at 1pm at St. Francis Episcopal Church in Willow Glen.

(Note to English-speaking readers: the links entitled Komentarze na tej stronie lead to comment pages.)
I had this in my
(setq ido-create-new-buffer 'always) (ido-mode 1) (ido-everywhere 1)
The first line allowed me to open buffers with nonexistent files just by saying
C-x b name RET. The second turned Ido on, and the third was supposed to force Ido to intercept all file/buffer selection commands (which did not really work that way).
This is what I have now:
(icy-mode 1)
(of course, I had to
(require 'icicles) or install Icicles from Marmalade, which I did).
So the journey has begun. (The main inspiration were Drew Adam's posts on the help-gnu-emacs mailing list, especially in an answer to my question about project management tools in Emacs.)
Just a few first thoughts:
1. I have to hit
TAB for (prefix) completion. In Ido, the completions were updated after each keypress. (Not that it bothers me much, I just have to change my habits a bit.)
C-c ` is now bound to
icicle-search-generic, which interferes with
next-error in AUCTeX. Not a big deal, there are other bindings for that. (Also,
C-c ' is now busy – with
icicle-occur – which interferes with Org-mode. The same applies.)
3. I have yet to learn how to combine a few search terms…
I am now going to read through (some of) the EmacsWiki pages on Icicles to build new habits. Stay tuned!
CategoryEnglish, CategoryBlog, CategoryEmacs, CategoryIcicles
C-x n C-h gives a short overview of what narrowing commands are there available in Emacs. Unfortunately,
narrow-to-defun does not (as I hoped) narrow to the current environment in LaTeX. This is Emacs, however, so why not fix this problem? Here's a
LaTeX-narrow-to-environment function I wrote some time ago.
(defun LaTeX-narrow-to-environment (&optional count) "Narrow buffer to current LaTeX environment (or COUNT environments around point)" (interactive "p") (LaTeX-mark-environment count) (narrow-to-region (save-excursion (goto-char (region-beginning)) (beginning-of-line) (point)) (region-end)) (deactivate-mark))
I decided that
C-x n e is a natural binding:
(eval-after-load 'latex '(define-key LaTeX-mode-map (kbd "C-x n e") 'LaTeX-narrow-to-environment))
eval-after-load form is needed in my
init.el, because
LaTeX-mode-map is not actually defined until loading
As can be seen, it is basically a wrapper around
LaTeX-mark-environment – it even accepts the prefix argument of how many environments up the syntax tree it should go.
Happy TeXing!

I guess everyone did it at some point: you press something accidentally, and something happens, and you don't know what you have done, but it might be something stupid, or destructive, or smart. You press
C-/ and you'll never know what that was.
Well, don't be so quick with undo, then. There are more options.
One is
C-h l, or
M-x view-lossage. It shows you the lat 300 keystrokes you pressed. (If you do this more often, you might also use
M-x open-dribble-file, which is basically an Emacs keylogger.)
But it also happens that you are not sure whether you accidentally deleted something, and
C-h l might not help with that. Then, you can
M-x revert-buffer; but before that, you may want to do
M-x diff-buffer-with-file. It does exactly what it says on the tin, and might come handy some day.

Great Kickboard for the Heavy Swimmer
Frederick B.
from North Providence, RI
on 8/9/2013
I am a lap swimmer geared toward fitness and weight loss. I use this board for kick drills everyday. I weigh 325 and find this board to be far more bouyant than the kickboards they have at my local pool. I swim with a Finis snorkel. I use this board with my arms fully extended, hands on top of one another and placed in the center of the board. In that position the board manages to stay on top of the water and the rest of my body follows (with my head down of course). The board's shape allows for different grips and it's thickness is far superior to anything else I see around the pool.
Speedo Kickboard
from Spotsylvania, VA
on 1/19/2014
Awesome board with a very appealing shape. I bought it for my son and his weight loss/strengthening program and I fell in love with it. Not flimsy like my gym's multipurpose use boards. Love the shape and open handle areas makes for very smooth transitioning when changing strokes. Will have to order one more board for myself. My son is complaining that I'm hogging his board...
Comfortable and smooth
from Media, PA
on 4/18/2010
Another swimmer at my pool let me try hers...I had been using the Y's kickboards, and I couldn't imagine that there would be any difference, but there was. I have pretty bad shoulders from old injuries, and this one puts almost no stress on the shoulders, and glides very easily through the water. The hand-holds help position the board perfectly for effective kicking. I recommend this board.
Technological progress
Swim Team kid grown up
from Los Angeles, CA
on 2/6/2010
Wow! I love this product! I just joined a health club with a pool, so I have been getting back into swimming after a 30 year hiatus. When I was on the swim team as a kid, I loved every stroke, but I hated using a kick board. The kick boards of old seemed more like a hinderance to progressing through the water. This new board, however, seems to glide through the water with little or no resistance. I don't know if it is the material this new kick board is made of, but it truly moves through the water with ease. The handles are in just the right place for use in the pool, and for carrying it to and from the car. It is incredibly light weight, yet extremely sturdy. I look forward to many years of use from this new technological marvel.
Nice Kickboard
Working Mom
from Huntington, IN
on 9/18/2014
I use the board to swim laps, I'm not a regular swimmer, so I use this with a pair of fins. I also have shoulder problems - so the design of this board is much better. I would buy this product again.
Love it - my kicking has improved a lot
Alejandro H.
from Woodside, CA
on 9/15/2014
I had seen a video in Coach Robb's series on the web explaining what is the correct way to kick, and had decided to start correcting my kicking so that the right muscles and elongation would be applied. But the usual rectangular kickboards at my club where giving me too much drag. I tried this speedo kickboard and it makes it much easier to hold the good position you are supposed to keep, with your elbows slightly under water while the front of the kickboard is above it, kicking from the top of the leg, pilates/ballet-style. I know kick a lot better and use my leg muscles more effectively. Even noticed it when I walk or run.
Speedo comp. II kickboard.

Excellent .Functions as per Speedo description.
Excellent value. Better than other Kickboards
from Quincy IL
on 8/19/2014
This is my second Speedo Competition II Kickboard. I left the 1st one on the swimming deck at the Sheridan Swim Club in Quincy Illinois after swimming laps. When I went back to look for it someone found it and since I didn't have my name on the board they decided to keep it rather than turn it into lost and found. So, I purchased a second Speedo Competition II Kickboard and wrote my name on the bottom with a permanent maker. The fact that I was willing to pay another $20 speaks directly to the quality and design. The shape and the grip holds allow me to steer a straight path through the water. The curve at the bottom of the board fits the shape of my head. With a snorkel you can swim face down the entire length of the pool. It's ergonomically designed and made of study dense foam. The best board I have ever used.
Love it!

Sturdy and it lasts. My son has been using this for more 2 years everyday at practice and it still looks like new. He loves it, great product!
Great Kickboard
from Columbia, SC
on 7/25/2014
The kickboard is of good quality and the price is right. It keeps me from going under as I learn to swim and that's an excellent thing for me. It stays afloat when others seemed to still sink some which made me uncomfortable. Great product!

- Very OverratedclarecDined on 11/22/2014Given the reviews and ratings of this restaurant, I was expecting the best Italian north of Brooklyn. Nope. The bread was quite good, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't baked on premises. Probably bought from Pereca's in Schenectady. The only noteworthy dish was a shrimp escarole lemon appetizer. Otherwise, meh, The cod special (with tomatoes, basil and white wine) was something I could have easily made at home at a fraction of the price. My husband could not find anything to his liking on the entree menu (Delmonico steak is a cop-out -- admit what cut it is and let your customers know. The fact that they can't be bothered to season and cook a filet speaks volumes about the quality of their food.) My husband ordered several appetizers and was not impressed. The antipasto had these sort of meat and cheese knots -- they oozed grease. We have been low carb for almost two years and my son begged for pasta carbonara. (It was not available except as a sauce for an appetizer -- I'll give then credit, they were willing to accommodate him and create a pasta dish.) Sadly enough, it didn't quite come together. I was surprised given that carbonara is a pretty simple sauce -- a reasonably decent home chef can make it easily. My daughter, who is ten, loved her pasta bolognese, but, seeing as how it's basically spaghetti and meatballs without the skill required to actually make the meat into meatballs, again, none too impressive. My impression is that this restaurant used to be very good and it has been living off its reputation for quite a while. Not worth it. if you want decent Italian food go to LoPortos in Troy.
- Awesome as usual ...never disappoints!Tk12Dined on 11/21/2014Great food, great service, great atmosphere! My husband always gets the special fish, I always get greens and beans and pasta and we love it. Jennifer and the wait staff are excellent. Feels like home!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

It has a very casual friendly ambiance with lots of good friends having pleasant conversations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- always amazingOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 11/8/2014Once again Cafe Capricio was outstanding. We had the osso bucco, squid w ink pasta and they made up some cabonara. The appetizers and desserts were great as well...especially the beet salad and pistachio gelato. We'll be back soonSpecial Features:
- Superb!NAD1Dined on 11/2/2014As always, the food was superb! Can't wait to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spot, but....MoJo1Dined on 11/2/2014Great service, but a couple of misunderstandings with the orders. I just wish the waiter would have written our order down so this could have been avoided. The food that was ordered correctly was delicious, though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One time onlyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/1/2014Food was just okay. Wouldn't go back but worth the first time try.
- wonderfulOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 10/30/2014First time at Cafe Capriccio the a t experience. From the service to the food, couldn't have asked for better. We all got different meals and from the fish special to the s a ice on homemade pasta all was delicious. The ambiance was a step back in time, relaxing, quite music in the background. The service was excellent we didn't have to wait for anything but we're never rushed or felt like they were hovering. Definitely will go back.Special Features:
- Cafe Capriccio - Great FoodNYRayDined on 10/30/2014The restaurant has consistently delivered great food and service. Their menu is unique with excellent apps and unusual entrees. The portions are bigger than most, but the food quality is what makes it great. Their sauces are flavorful without being overwhelming. We were also pleased that the other patrons kept their voices low so we could all speak using our indoor voices. Having no children in the room made it special, too. We plan to return soon.Special Features:
- JessEatsDined on 10/27/2014The service was incredible. The staff seems to really be passionate about the food and wine there. The food was also delicious; very home-style Italian and super authentic. The appetizer size option for the pastas make it so easy to order a few antipasto's and pastas to share.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our Newest Favorite FindbrendabDined on 10/21/2014My husband and I decided to try Cafe Capriccio when we had tickets to a show at The Egg Performing Arts Center about 4 blocks from the restaurant, and we are so glad we did. The main attractions are the outstanding food, and highly professional and attentive staff. The venue itself is charming enough (you enter down a few steps off street level in a diverse area of the capitol city) but we go for the dining experience. The staff helps each other out, so if your main wait person is busy at another table and a different one notices you need another glass of wine, you are taken care of. Each wait person has a thorough knowledge of how each dish is prepared and can help you make the best choice off the menu. Truly a "Neighborhood Gem".Special Features:
- Cafe Capriccio, agin'ZenaGOFDined on 10/20/2014This is one of those special, cozy places that feels rich but isn't at all pretentious. The food is outstanding and so is the service. Some of the nicest little pizzas I've ever had, anywhere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Took a tad long to get a drink.BrinemasterDined on 10/18/2014I prefer to be asked for my drink first thing before water is filled. thats just me. My guests were not as impatient as me Amazing squid ink dish, excellent oso buco pork shank the wine the the red wine reduction was incredible. Sauted Escarole spot on, wone find any done better anywhere, and the Tiramisu. Just a great night.Special Features:
- Mary Ann Serianskyprincess1Dined on 10/17/2014Cafe Capriccio has always been a great find. i love the eggplant dish they have there-never disappoints. The waiters are very professional and wine choices very good.Special Features:
- good and nicedakjunkieDined on 10/14/2014The service was impeccable. Looked like three wait staff took care of the whole restaurant, but all three helped out at our table. They had useful reccomendations, ever so gracious, and seemed to make any serving alterations seem effortless. One of our dinners couldn't decide between two pastas, so it was suggested that she have a small serving of each saying, "have your cake and eat it too". It was very nice, but their idea of small plates seemed very generous. It was not at all crowded at 7:30pm midweek, so that may be why the entree's came out so quickly. We all speculated as to why that may be, but it was a bit of a shock raising questions about whether the meals were cooked to order.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful foodBuffaloonDined on 10/11/2014There are very few places I would drive 300 miles to visit, and this is one. Great food and service, comfortable atmosphere.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/11/2014We were a party of 5 with very mixed tastes in food yet everyone found a dish and appetizer that suited them. The food was well prepared and presented and tasted wonderful! The waitstaff were extremely attentive. They explained all the dishes and answered any questions we had and made our dinner enjoyable. The dessert was to die for!Special Features:
- SuperbMoonOverMarioDined on 10/7/2014Cafe Capriccio was the perfect choice for our 25th anniversary dinner. Fairly quiet on a Tuesday evening. The food was simply awesome, from appetizers to dessert. Menu changes often and current menu features many outstanding choices. The Calamari Neri is truly outstanding. The wait staff are great with all pitching in to ensure that every need is taken care of quickly and efficiently without ever feeling rushed or intrusive. Looking forward to returning soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FabulousOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/7/2014We ordered the special ravioli in a pink sauce, duck confit risotto, fig pizza, eggplant, and a bolognese ...All excellent with the red sauce on the eggplant being my favorite!!! our waiter was great and he picked a great bottle of wine for us..will return on my next trip to AlbanySpecial Features:
- Convenient Egg &Times Union Ctr.ktwolfDined on 10/4/2014We've been to Cafe Capriccio twice now, once before a concert at the Egg, and the second time after an event at the Times Union Center. It's a perfect location... easy walking distance from each venue. More importantly, this is a gem of a restaurant. At first the decor seems a bit "stuffy", but it doesn't take long to feel cozy and at home. The staff is superb... attentive, knowledgeable and friendly - they exude a positive energy. And the food is AMAZING! We highly recommend Cafe Capriccio, and expect that we will return whenever we are attending events in Albany.Special Features:
- Post CapRep DinnerPhotoRayDined on 10/4/2014Good food, good service. An Albany classic. While not inexpensive, we thought it was a good value, i.e., we expected to pay even more than we did.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Resting on their laurelsOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 10/3/2014Sorry to say this long standing Albany restaurant isn't making the grade any longer. Visited it many times over 20+ years and it feels like their phoning it in. Overcooked fish, dry duck, no follow-up from the waitstaff to inquire about the food and it wasn't a busy night. One has to wonder if they're simply trading on their name and memories of time gone by.
- DisappointedinALBDined on 10/2/2014Server never offered specials. Food was at best mediocre for the price charged expected more.Special Features:
- luv2eatoutDined on 9/26/2014Delicious food - gnocchi the best I have eaten. Eggplant parm fantastic. Great service- a real gem of a place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great meal at Cafe CapriccioMargaretDined on 9/25/2014Another wonderful meal at Cafe Capriccio. The food was perfect and the service was super.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- VikingDined on 9/21/2014Cafe Capriccio is a great place for dinner...everything is fresh and homemade along with the service which was impeccable. The waitress was especially helpful in making recommendations and adjustments to our orders. All was served in a timely manner, not rushed. The atmosphere was quiet even with most tables filled. Loved the soft Italian background music...felt like we were in Italy. The shrimp and pasta dish and the ravoili with goat cheese and spinach were fabulous. The homemade berry pie with gelato was to die for. Will definitely recommend it to everyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always wonderful.TimTroyDined on 9/19/2014I can never say enough about the food. The huge tie breaker here is the staff. They ALL work together! Imagine that! You typically have four people checking in on you. It's amazing how well they work together. They all are in this together and it is a wonderful experience. Parking may be a challenge. Suggest you call them at 518-465-0439 for suggestions.Special Features:
- Great food and service.CastDined on 9/13/2014If you enjoy dining out with friends and family, you will appreciate Cafe Capriccio. The experience includes expertly prepared food, great presentation, a very nice wine list, and outstanding service.Special Features:
- Still GreatOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/6/2014We've loved this great Italian restaurant for years. No simple "red sauce" fare, the food is complex and appealing. The salads were simple, but perfectly executed, the pasta the same. The entrees were excellent. We keep coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Classic Italian DestinationGaryTheKVIPDined on 8/31/2014Over dinner, my wife and I agreed that venerable restaurants like Café Capriccio are what we love about travel - finding places that demonstrate a love for food and have a culture that infuses everything from the advice and energy of servers to the quality of ingredients. We sampled several pastas - all terrific - Capriccio knows how to use their San Marzanos. We live in NYC and were in Albany for just one night - but we'll be back.Special Features:
- I loved my entire experience.luv2eatgoodfoodDined on 8/24/2014The food and service were exceptional. One of the best dining establishments in Albany if not the best.

- Great flavor all around the tablePushkinDined on 8/18/2014Delicate yet spicy warm vegetable antipasto was perfect! Thank you for a different delicious meatless choice! Puttanesca was made to order for our vegetarians and were perfect! Eggplant was sweet and sliced thinly so manageable . Servers were friendly and had excellent timing. Can't wait to return!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Paradise ItalianoGiuliaMarioDined on 8/17/2014This place has excellent food, ambiance and service. The minute you walk in the door you are enticed by the wonderful aromas.

It is one of the few gems left in a restaurant scene that is increasingly filled with mediocre chains.Special Features:
- Wonderful!JenMDined on 8/14/2014I picked Cafe Capriccio to celebrate our 9th anniversary and the staff made it beyond special. The food was amazing, my boyfriend loved the Pork Osso Buco, it melted off the bone. My eggplant was perfect with wonderful hints of gorgonzola cheese. We finished with chocolate flourless cake that seems to be from heaven, and a ricotta pie that my grandmother would have approved.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

If, when darkness comes
You have to beg for affection
And what you get
Are ashes instead of gold,
Don't kneel at the altar
of despair,
And surrender yourself to the government of pain.
Submission is a poison without a cure.
A life of slavery tastes like death.
But if, like a canary
Back safely from the coalmine
You stand sentinel
Over who you are,
If loving tastes sweeter
Than being loved
And you sing a tune of life,
As you learn to give without expecting return
Then there is light
For you.
And you will find freedom
One day.

The Linksys SE2500 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch easily expands your home network at powerful Gigabit speeds of up to 1000 Mbps--10x faster than standard Ethernet. The SE2500 is plug-and-play, so no configuration is required. Simply connect computers, printers, storage, game consoles and other devices and instantly enjoy quick file transfers and media sharing between Gigabit devices. Quality of Service (QoS) traffic prioritization technology automatically optimizes performance for each connected device, so you can enjoy smooth video streaming and gaming. Power-saving features include auto power-down disabling of unused ports, sleep mode when all ports are inactive and smart power for short cable runs.
Build a network that's suitable for use in a small business environment or in the home with this 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch from Linksys. The switch takes advantage of advanced networking technology to offer up to 1000 Mbps data transmission speeds, allowing the quick exchange of vast amounts of data between connected devices.
Easy Network Creation
The Linksys 5-port Ethernet switch is designed for plug-and-play connectivity. Using the plug-and-play design, you can simply plug an Ethernet cable from a networkable device into an open port on the switch to have the switch configure the network to include the device, adjusting the port speed to the maximum transmission rate that the new device is capable of maintaining. The switch must be connected to a broadband modem or wired router to allow for the addition of a shared Internet source.
Gigabit Network Speeds
Each of the five ports of the Linksys switch is capable of handling data transmission rates of up to 1000 Mbps. This high data-transfer rate can be used for anything from moving data quickly to and from network storage devices to streaming high-definition videos without losing a single frame of the action. The switch is backward compatible, slowing down the data rate as needed to handle devices running at fast Ethernet speeds of 100 Mbps or standard Ethernet speeds of only 10 Mbps.
QoS Traffic Management
To keep data moving briskly through the network, the Linksys switch uses Quality of Service traffic prioritization. With QoS management, data moving through the system is prioritized by data type so that network traffic that can be affected most by congestion is moved through the system quicker than data that can withstand a slight wait or be slowed down in transmission.

I use this switch to connect my PS3, PS4, and WD Media Player to the switch in my router on my home network.

I purchased the Linksys SE2500 switch at my local Staples store to hardwire my home entertainment components together and then run one CAT6 cable to my router. The activity lights are on the back, which I like and can be turned on or off. This way I go not get a "light show" from the shelving in my entertainment center.

Comments about Linksys SE2500 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch:
I bought this switch for my IT services business but got to use it at scout day camp. Most folks laptops didn't have a good enough wifi to capture the signal from the distant router at the fairgrounds. However my Dell 7000 latched right onto the signal. So I connected to the distant wifi, plugged the switch into my laptops Ethernet jack and turned on internet connection sharing on the Ethernet port. The other office folks plugged into the switch and voila we had a connected network!,
much needed solution
Comments about Linksys SE2500 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch:
I find myself needing more Ethernet ports than the standard 4 on my router. Between Satellite TV, all in one printer, Blu-ray player, and network attached storage I was maxed out. I needed a place to plug in my computers that were not on WiFi and my smart TV. Thankfully there is a simple plug and play way to expand the number of Ethernet ports on my home network. It worked like a charm and the setup was simple...just plugged in the power and the Ethernet cables and that was it! The only thing I would do is put additional description on the product name to say this expands the number of Ethernet ports as I did not know what a "switch" was until I contacted Linksys support to find this solution.

My grandfather, Albert Torrence(1889-1970) was in Generation 9 and lived in Ottumwa, Iowa.
He was the 5th of 6 children and I knew all of them as we went to reunions in Wapello County, IA.
My mom was a Generation 10 and that makes me a Generation 11.
Dr Albert and Annie had two children. The first was young Sarah Bell Torrence (1866-1873) of Columbus, IL and the seocnd was her brother
John A Torrence (1877- ) x 1899 Lulu D Sullivan (1878- ) of Quincy, IL. I do not have more on John.
You thought you found Dr Albert's mother, Sarah. (But skipped a generation.)
Sarah married
Dr John Torrence (1813-1899) x 1836 Sarah Sprott (1820-1895) of Indiana and then Quincy, IL. Gen 7
Dr John was the 8th of 8 children.
The Sarah that you found is Sarah Phillips (1776-1859) who is in Generation 6.
She married Albert Torrence (1770-1838) in 1798 and they are the parents of the 8 children including Dr John and Sarah Sprott.
Generation 5 has James Torrance (1736-1810) x 1764 Elizabeth Blair (1740- ) and then 1781 Janet Shields (c1760-1820) of Mifflin Twp, Allegheny Co, PA.
This branch is altogether different from the Massachusets branch that has been discussed recently. However, they are related in the 4th generation.
You may want to pursue the lead on Annie's son, John A Torrence and Lulu.
Since the connection is at Generation 8 and we both are Generation 11, we are third cousins!!!

Cows, dragons, and sharks sit quietly on the shelves of Mi Pottery.

The shop never charges kiln or studio fees, so once guests have chosen their cheery 3-D canvas, they're free to spend as much time as they need designing an intricate border for a cake stand or giving a roly-poly puppy anatomically accurate fangs.

I've gone through periods where my writing pours out, rich and lively, and other times when my writing seems wooden. But even in the dry periods, I show up. While my material is composting, I keep my writing muscles toned, so I'm "in shape" when the material is ready to be written. Sometimes my writing commitment to myself is ten minutes a day; sometimes it is a half hour or an hour three times a week. That means I sit with pen and paper or in front of my computer for the designated time and wait to see what happens.
I remember the day I walked past the fields at Green Gulch Farm, a retreat center in Marin County. Just a few weeks earlier, the fields had been lush with rainbow chard and dinosaur kale, and now I saw nothing more than neatly plowed rows of earth. What a perfect metaphor for writing, I thought. Writing, too, has fallow times. I cannot force creativity to come; I can only show up and be willing.
An artist friend writes similarly about the days she spent sitting in front of a blank canvas, waiting for inspiration. Nothing came, and still she sat. And then, one day, she picked up her brush and created a work of art.
Another friend, an American gardener who has moved to Italy, reflected on her fallow times. "I am a firm believer that if I don't pull within, way, way in, in the winter, it will be harder to be expansive in the spring."
