RACINE, Wis. (AP) -- A 20-year-old Racine man who's accused of engaging in lewd behavior in a library has been banned from "all the libraries on the face of the earth."
Tyree S. Carter is charged with misdemeanor counts of lewd behavior and disorderly conduct. He's due in court next month for a pre-trial conference.
A Journal Times of Racine report (http://bit.ly/ZrQYKj ) says Carter is accused of openly masturbating in the Racine Public Library last week. A witness told investigators Carter was out in the open, not trying to conceal his act.
The criminal complaint says he apologized to responding police officers.
His signature bond was set at $1,000. Court records say as a condition of his bond, he was told to "stay out of all the libraries on the face of the earth."

|Cultural/civic center for Plano, Texas
|Sloan, Blake
|This is a proposal to provide Plano with a cultural center as well as a central focus . The building that will provide the solutions stated will be a civic center . As a central focus , the civic center will serve Plano's outstanding characteristic for residents as well as outsiders to admire and remember . Plano has enlarged from a population of under 20 ,000 in 1970 , to the recent estimate of almost 110 ,000 yet there is no major space for a group of Planoites to congregate . The proposed civic center will provide that missing social center for the residents . It will be versatile enough to accommodate small as well as large groups of people in indoor or outdoor environments under formal and informal conditions . Because Plano is comprised of people , not ornate buildings , the civic center will address its problems on a pedestrian scale so it will display the character of the people who live there . This proposed civic center is a solution that is long overdue to Plano's problem of a missing social center and central focus for the city .

Hiya gang! I was a teeny bit confused by "big-time" on panel 3, so I asked Pete about it. A few of you might be similarly confused so I figured it's best to post the explanation here.
When Shanklin says Bun-bun is on big-time, what he means is that bun-bun's got plenty of people, securing his timeline, and is in no danger of freezing in timeless space. I'd thought that perhaps Big-Time was the original name of the ship that is now called the Bloody Bun, but that's not the case at all. Stupid Thyla.

Rihanna announced earlier this week that Ke$ha and Nicki Minaj would be joining her on the Last Girl On Earth Tour this summer. Looks like trouble has already started for the tour after Nicki Minaj announced today that she was dropping out. Minaj tweeted "Barbz I'm sorry 2 say I will not be going out on RiRi's tour. I've decided 2 use that time 4 the completion of my album. Hope u understand"
Rah row! Wonder if her album was the only reason for backing out? Seems pretty crazy to pass up a tour with Rihanna. Who do you think will replace her on the tour?

Why am I so thirsty?
- s
- Smorgasbord Aug 14, 2008 09:43 AM
I've searched the site but haven't found the answer to this perhaps obvious/ridiculous query. Why is it that you can eat a meal at a restaurant that tastes great and not overly seasoned, but the next day [or even a few hours later] you're drinking literally litres of water and you're parched like the Sahara? This happened to me after eating at an Italian resto yesterday, but has happened to me with all varieties of restaurant cuisine [I must add that it happens about 20% of the time, not all the time]. My point is, if it's the salt, it would have tasted too salty and I would have noticed- if I put even a tad more salt than normal in home-cooked meals, it practically ruins the dish with its overpowering saltiness. If it isn't the salt, then what is it? It's not the alcohol- I usually have one glass of wine, whereas I would have 2 or more glasses at home, so it's not dehydration. I'm stumped! Hounds?
Quite a few people seem to get this reaction when there is more sodium content (ie the combination of salt and MSG and whatever else the resto uses). It may be that everything you ate has salt and or MSG, just below the "salty" level, but the combination from all sources pushes your sodium intake up.
re: hannaone
I get this with MSG too.
re: rockandroller1
Hint: If so, it's because of the 2nd letter in 'MSG'
A lot of restaurants add salt in different stages than what a lot of home cooks may do at home. It doesn't taste overtly salty because it's not added at the end (which I find a lot of home cooks to do), but there's a lot of salt in the dish. And the Italian restaurant may use a lot of cheeses in their food which has a lot of salt. If you put cheeses in at an earlier stage of cooking (eg. simmering tomato sauce with parmesan rinds), the cheesiness is not pungent as if you grated it towards the end. But you still get all the salt from the cheese.
If that's not it, you may be sensitive to hidden MSG. It's not only Chinese restaurants that use it. I'm not saying that they'll have a bag of Accent lying around, but it could be hidden in a lot of processed ingredients they use. Thank goodness I don't have the issues some may have with excess MSG like headaches, but after an MSG-laden meal, I need to drink a ton of water.
re: Miss Needle
Plus, parmesan is very high in natural MSG, so if your sauce was simmered with parmesan rinds, and then you put parmesan on top, you're getting a lot of MSG. LIke hannaone, I also get dry mouth from artificial sweeteners.
Another thought is artificial or substitute sweeteners. I get a serious case of dry mouth/throat from every sweetener I have ever tried, including those derived from sugar like Splenda.
If you were to fast for a few days you would become more aware of the high salt content of many restaurant foods. Sometimes the salt content is not obvious. In a tomato sauce that has wine and sugar added the salt will be less noticeable. I had this experience Saturday night after dinner at Grand Sichuan. I kept drinking water throughout the meal. I like to keep 2 bottles of water on my nightstand to take my bedtime medication and supplements. During the night i finished both bottles of water. After dining in a New Orleans type of restaurant I was parched for 2 days. Have you ever noticed that the most used ingredient for Emeril to season with is Salt? Sometimes 2 or 3 times in a single dish.
So it is probably the salt whether you taste it or not.
Ditto what others have said.
It's probably some combination of salt, MSG, and the higher fat content of restaurant meals.
Why don't you start drinking water in addition to wine, and more throughout the day? This should solve your problem, I'd think.
My husband's family always complains that they get totally thirsty from garlic. I never get thirsty for any reason so I can't say, but they swear that's it.
re: PeterL
That was my first thought. Extreme thirst is a symptom of diabetes. You may want to have your blood sugar checked just to be certain it's not a medical issue.
re: lynnlato
My first thought when I saw this thread was diabetes as well.
re: lynnlato
As someone who's been living with diabetes for 8 years, believe me, if there's a chance you've got it, the earlier you catch it, the easier it is to treat. Being a typical male, I hadn't seen my doctor from ages 40-44 except to treat some minor sports injuries. Finally, after prodding from my wife, I had a physical and that's when I found out my blood sugar was off the charts. By that time, I had probably been a diabetic for 3-4 years, and the damage had already started.
The blood test can be as simple as not eating after 10 pm one night, and seeing your doctor before 10 am the next day (no food or drink other than water). He'll prick your finger, and test a drop of your blood. You'll know within 15 seconds if you're at risk. If you are, and it's early, you can often control Type II by simply adding some exercise and making some simple changes to your diet. When you learn the consequences of diabetes: decreased vision/blindness, risk of amputation, increased risk of heart attack, etc. - believe me, it's worth it to find out. Good luck!
re: rworange
Restaurants typically use unsalted butter, at least in my experience. Use of salt can be rampant in all sorts of otherways though.
re: Angela Roberta
I think it's both. Many restaurants use more salt than the typical home cook and they tend to serve bigger portion sizes, too.
re: maria lorraine
Salt, garlic and too much wine (Fess up!)?
re: lgss
Hi all- I didn't expect so many replies, and while I'm touched that many of you brought up possible health concerns, I think I worded the headline poorly - it should have included "... when I eat at restaurants?" I want to stress that the phenomena is resto-based only, as lgss says, and I think the posters who hit on the MSG may have it. Because I don't get the classic MSG headache, I wasn't aware there were other symptoms too [FYI, a Canadian student just proved this week that MSG destroys cells in the organism that eats them; I'm sure this'll hit the news shortly]. And Passadumkeg, I fully admit to too much wine at home- but never in a restaurant, I'm usually [a] too cheap or [b] going to be driving for that! :-)
re: Smorgasbord
Not quite. It was 2008-2009, it was a high school student in Calgary working in the lab of a neuroscientist, and they put the neurons into a solution containing MSG.
A similar study the following year: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/artic...
I am not saying MSG is good for you. I'm saying that there was only one study that showed brain cell damage from ingesting MSG. It was in neonatal mice that were force-fed extremely high doses. No one has ever been able to replicate those results. In order for ingested MSG to damage brain cells, the MSG would have to survive the digestive process intact and then cross the blood-brain barrier. So first, the issue is not MSG per se, but glutamate, which is the break-down product. Well, glutamate is the most abundant free amino acid in the brain. In other words, it is there already and it needs to be there. It is an important neurotransmitter. And, of course, glutamate is found many foods - beef, pork, poultry, fish, peas, corn, and other vegetables. Among its many functions, L-glutamate plays a critical role in synaptic maintenance and plasticity (McDonald and Johnston 1990); it also contributes to learning and memory through use-dependent changes in synaptic efficacy, such as long-term potentiation and long-term depression. Under pathologic conditions, excess release of L-glutamic acid and other excitatory amino acids can lead to excitotoxic lesions in brain from overexcitation of nerve cells. Under normal conditions, most free L-glutamic acid in brain is derived from local synthesis from L-glutamine and Kreb's cycle intermediates. A considerable fraction is also derived from recycling from brain protein. Generally, the blood-brain barrier prevents glutamate circulating in blood plasma from entering the brain but there are some areas of the brain that do not have this barrier and glutamate can enter in these areas and then move through the brain. However, it would have to be a very large intake of glutamate to raise plasma concentration to the point that it causes a significant increase in glutamate levels in the brain and the brain has a system for regulating the levels of amino acids. If you have a disease that impairs the blood-brain barrier, you might be concerned.
There are epidemiological studies in humans that show an increased risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome, but otherwise, every single independent expert panel in the US and Europe has concluded that MSG is safe for consumption.
re: Just Visiting
Check the date on Smorgasbord's post- when s/he said this week, that was probably accurate.
re: Hobbert
Oops! Sorry. Still, the rest of my answer holds.
this is a question more suited for your physician, not untrained strangers on a food board. just my humble opinion.
MSG is dangerous because it 1) destroys brain cells and 2) is only half a salt. Sodium chloride; salt, is necessary to survive. If a meal is too SALTy you will notice it by taste. But MSG has sodium and no chloride. Since it tastes like salt, you may get cravings for more of it, such as when you eat Doritos and it is unlikely you'll put them away before the bag is empty. Try eating kale chips and you will easily put them away after like 7 chips, and be satisfied. This is because your body is receiving an excess of sodium when it ingests MSG, and no chloride. Your body wants more of the thing that tastes salty, because salt contains chloride, and your body is wanting chloride, and therefore is wanting salt, not MSG. Both sodium and chloride are essential carriers of various things, including electrolytes. Drinking masses of water after ingesting MSG may not help, because you are not low on water but rather are low on chloride. Some people even say that drinking a slightly salted water instead of regular water will help more. This makes sense because it will get you chloride.
Aspartame has very similar effects on the brain as MSG does, so it may make sense if aspartame makes you thirsty, by basic logic though if it does the science would be different.
If it's alcohol then yes you are low on water - notice that when alcohol causes thirst, water fixes the problem, but when MSG causes thirst, you will drink many gallons.
If everything you make at home is made with fresh vegetables and doesn't come out of a box, then it is highly likely that the MSG content of restaurant foods is higher then that of home foods.
re: Rayvn7
Sorry to repeat myself, but the science does NOT demonstrate that ingested MSG destroys brain cells. When you eat something with MSG, you end up with glutamate circulating in your blood plasma. Glutamate is an important neurotransmitter that is abundant in the brain. The blood-brain barrier prevents additional glutamate from entering the brain. Many of the foods you eat are high in glutamate, too, so if this non-scientific myth were true, your brain would be destroying itself and you would be destroying your brain by eating beef, chicken, pork, fish, and many vegetables such as peas and corn.
re: Rayvn7
What if you make kale chips with msg?
re: Rayvn7
The brain cell hoax was disproven nineteen years ago.
I know this is an old post but I am going to add my 2 cents.
There is an autoimmune disease called Sjogrens Syndrome. It is not curable and I have it. With it the white blood cells attack mucous producing glands. This comes and goes. Sometimes at night my eyes get so dry I have to wake up and use drops. I always have something to drink with me and again when it is bad that it wakes me up in the night with my mouth feeling like it is full of sand.

It's a return home for thousands of Meridianites.
And it's the old friends and classmates, the mingling, catching up on old times and reminiscing about the good times, and the reunions like this one that many look forward to every five years.
Evelyn Wooten Moseley was born and raised in Meridian and moved to Chicago at the age of 18. She graduated from Saint Joseph's Catholic School...class of 1956. Moseley says she missed the past two picnics, but was so excited about seeing some of her classmates.
"Got chance to meet people that I have not seen in over 30 years. That's was really a blessing and it was just great to be able to fellowship. I saw three of my classmates," Meridian Picnic Participant Evelyn Wooten Moseley said.
From young to old, the heat didn't keep these folks from fellowshipping.
And a snowball, a fan and good food helped many to keep cool and just have a good time and enjoy each other and their hometown.
Coordinators say the picnic began forty-three years ago as a reunion of former students at the now defunct T./J. Harris high school. And many are amazed at how the the picnic and the city has grown since then.
"And thank God that we are blessed to come back and to see how our city has grown and how it has improved and the things that have taken place," Moseley said.
And this gathering is a perfect time and location for many to have family reunions. But for the Conley family of Meridian...it was this family's first time having their reunion at the Meridian picnic.
"We're just happy to be all together," said Conley Family Reunion Participant Rosie Dixon.
Many participants say the saying "Home is where the heart is" was evident at the 2009 Meridian picnic.

Nuke plants to rely on PDP-11 code UNTIL 2050!
The venerable PDP-11 minicomputer is still spry to this day, powering GE nuclear power-plant robots - and will do so for another 37 years. That's right: PDP-11 assembler coders are hard to find, but the nuclear industry is planning on keeping the 16-bit machines ticking over until 2050 – long enough for a couple of generations …
It just costs money
These types of deal aren't that unusual. If it ain't broken you don't fix it.
Come 2020 I'll bet there will still be sites getting VMS support.
Just reach for your cheque book.
Government contracts often have very long support plans built into them.
I remember being asked to provide HP-UX internals training in the run up to Y2K for a release than had been phased out in the 80s, because there was still a customer who was on contract.
He who pays the piper calls the tune.
Re: It just costs money
"If it ain't broken you don't fix it."
Bingo. It's the same reason why the computers and processors on deep space probes are frigging ancient by today's standards. The technology may be old and slow but it is *reliable*. Reliable counts for a lot when you're a million miles from Earth or when you're nuts deep in nuclear crap.
Re: It just costs money
I would imagine that if these things are bing used to control robotic systems in nuclear power plants, those are the systems which are on the 'hot' side of containment, such as the fuel loading robots and things like that. You could go about replacing the systems that control these, but you'd need to build a robot to do it, because radiation poisoning is apparently quite bad for even field service engineers.
So, you either have a choice of leaving the current system in place until the end of life of the plant, and trying to find some bods who know how to work it, or building a more complex and expensive system to perform a one-off maintenance job inside a sealed reactor at phenomenal expense, and not-insignificant risk.
Re: It just costs money
> inside a sealed reactor
No, they are surely not using a PDP-11 inside a "sealed" reactor. It will be in a human-friendly control room somewhere.
> fuel loading robots
While those are inside the containment vessel, they are not in any sense inside a "sealed" reactor; the radiation level is not unfriendly when everything is functioning correctly.
Re: It just costs money
Okay, my example may be a little contrived, I'm not a nuclear engineer after all. It isn't beyond the realms of possibility, however, that these systems are used to controls parts of the reactor that are not accessible once it becomes hot. If not the robots loading fuel, then maybe those transferring spent fuel to cooling ponds. A properly encased rod of U-235 might be safe to handle before it has spent some time inside the core, but certainly not afterwards!
Although the control systems are obviously not going to be inside the reactor, they have to be connected to these parts. Refitting, testing, and properly certifying any changes to these has got to be a hugely expensive logistical challenge, and I can see where this might cost significantly more than employing people who can maintain the existing working control system, even if that involves training them from scratch and paying them well over the going rate.
Re: It just costs money
Actually it's because higher frequency cpu is more error prone when cosmic radiation hits it .
Re: It just costs money
"the same reason why the computers and processors on deep space probes are frigging ancient by today's standards."
and they are difficult to get to for an upgrade...
Re: It just costs money
They're "ancient" even before launch. We routinely handle new kit with rad-hardened CPUs that would have been considered "state of the art" on desktops in 2001.
If it was possible to economically fly core memory, it would still be done. The environment outside earth's magnetosphere is mindbogglingly hostile to electronics (and biologicals)
Re: It just costs money
It's not the GHz clock cycle that is the problem. It's the smaller feature size of the transistors that increases the single event upset (SEU) rate. Yes, the two are inter-related, but one could conceivably build multi-core, chip symmetric multiprocessors based on the PDP-11 at today's feature sizes and not have GHz clock cycle times (and still end up with significant SEU rates.)
A couple of years ago, a NASA/JPL scientist pointed out that the alpha particles (helium nuclei) from lead solder were causing interesting issues with current x86_64 I/O pins -- radiation issues on commodity hardware.
Re: It just costs money
It's not just ordinary reliability as in "well tested", but also robustness against radiation - plenty of that in space. Those 30 year old CPUs running at 1MHz are quite resilient. Could it be that the nuclear industry is also having similar issues?
Re: It just costs money
Radiation poisoning might just explain some of the field services engineers I've come across...
Re: It just costs money
I believe the shuttle flew on core memory. Very helpful with the Challenger investigation.
Re: It just costs money
That is actually mostly because it takes quite a bit of time to certify equipment for space flight and the extreme conditions like radiation, extreme temperature gradients, and what not.
Re: It just costs money
Another thought that might help would be to send some torte lawyers in to inspect and research whether it's safe or not for humans to chnage those systems. After all.. we want everything to be contracted and legal - correct?
DL0: 167300 g
I *think* that's the correct sequence, but it has been nearly 20 years...
Should restart a sleeping PDP-11/73 via the serial port - useful if it's been shut off and you're working via a modem.
Supporting a call logger on PDP-11 on RSTS 8.x was where I started in 1994, I'd have expected them to be all gone by now although I think the US air traffic guys had some until after 2000!
Re: DL0: 167300 g (Air traffic control)
UK Air traffic control retired their (last) PDP11 in 2006. It is on display at the National Museum of Computing at Bletchly Park.

The beauty of PDP-endian
PDP-endian... One "endian" nobody checks for any more and which will break nearly any network to host/host to network (including telemetry networks) conversion. I love the smell of meltdown early in the morning, it smells like radioactivity...
Re: The beauty of PDP-endian
You have unlocked a buried memory of getting ICL VME to talk to a PDP-11. That was one of the most satisfying achievements of my career.
Re: The beauty of PDP-endian
Oh, crud. Now I remember ICL VME. I think there are still councils still running VME, although Series 39 has long given way to OpenVME on an x64 host.
To quote the Fujitsu website "2020 is no longer an issue for VME Applications." Not sure if they mean it will work past 2019, or nobody will be using it by then.
Not a zombie OS, exactly. More a sort of... isolated hill tribe of savages that hasn't been seen since the year dot and is barely civilised?
Re: The beauty of PDP-endian
Not just byte sequencing but the bit pattern of floating point numbers. Digital had their own format before the IEEE standard became standard. Sun Microsystems produced a library that would enable VAXes to talk to SPARCs, but I forget its name. It was available on Linux X86 systems which I had talking to SPARCs.
Re: The beauty of PDP-endian
Ah, yes, the classic "nuxi" endian-ness.
2038 and all that
While not a PDP11 issue, the longevity of computers is a concern - and not just for people who want to flog us replacements. At this rate (maybe even exacerbated by the financial crisis) there could well be numbers of old, 32-bit Unix system running stuff when the 32-bit clock counter rolls over and we find ourselves back in the 1970's. With the popularity of small, cheap Linux embedded systems, some of these could be quite difficult to find - literally.
I just hope none of *them* are running nuclear plants
Re: 2038 and all that
"there could well be numbers of old, 32-bit Unix system running stuff when the 32-bit clock counter rolls over and we find ourselves back in the 1970's."
Oooh - you mean when we went to the moon, and you could fly supersonic to New York.

Re: 2038 and all that
I remember a couple of years ago Audi advertised their "space-age" aluminium cars.
I already have a "space-age" aluminium car, a 1967 Land Rover.
Re: 2038 and all that
when the 32-bit clock counter rolls over and we find ourselves back in the 1970's.
Depends. Real-time systems don't necessarily need to be aware of the current wall-clock time. "There's an item coming down the assembly line, it needs to be sprayed/welded/have a barcode stuck on/whatever", is not a task that requires the robot to know whether it's 19-jun-2013, 1-jan-1970 or 19-jan-2038.
In the run-up to Y2K, I was told several routers had to be replaced because their firmware was not Y2K-compliant and they couldn't be upgraded to handle the then-current firmware version that was. After a brief check I reported that the longest-running router had still 42 months to go before *it* would hit that particular date which was roughly half a year away on our calender, and that one which had just been rebooted happily lived in late 1993 with no ill effects. From which I deduced that if any of them would ever reach their Y2K-rollover, the worst that would happen was that they wouldn't be routing for a few minutes until they had finished rebooting, just as with any other interruption, the chance of which occurring would be way greater.
No routers were replaced that year.
Actually probably much less of a problem
I mean integers on most archtectures are cyclic, so you might not have any problem. Let me give you an example with a hypothetic 8 bit time.
Imagine it's 250, 10 seconds later it'll be 260-256=4.
Now imagine you want to have the difference between those times. That's 4-250=-246 which will overflow to 10.
So despite of having multiple integer overflows, time differences will still be OK. The only problem exists when you convert it into some other system.
Re: 2038 and all that
And it took an IBM 704 to sing Daisy.
Re: 2038 and all that
Motorola cable head-end equipment already suffers from this problem. By default, it picks an end date 25 years in the future. Now that we're less than 25 years from the 2038 problem, we're seeing end dates in the late 1960's when we forget to override the default end date.

Re: if it aint broke....
A system that has no tolerance for failure has no place in the real world outside of a laboratory.
That's one of the fundamental failings of old-style nuke design.
BTW I believe DLR run a PDP11 in every single train.
Re: if it aint broke....
> A well understood, rock solid, stable industrial control system...
Indeed. Few people think of upgrading the control system for their washing machine, why would you risk an "upgrade" (are you going to get more features added to your nuclear reaction?) when there is so much to lose?
Re: if it aint broke....
Do they have spare parts?
I've seen circuit boards that are in use well beyond their supported life. Some of them do not survive power cycling as the capacitors have leaked.
Re: Do they have spare parts?
You could probably produce an equivalently behaving board for most parts. Most of the board would be empty apart from traces, and all the work would be done by a small FPGA. Bug for bug compatibility would be the biggest challenge.
Re: if it aint broke....
> BTW I believe DLR run a PDP11 in every single train.
I think it's an 8080 running Forth, from memory.
Re: Do they have spare parts?
There are a couple of companies making PDP11 addin boards for PCs that emulate a PDP11.
The green roadside boxes running traffic lights were PDP11s until recently
Re: if it aint broke....
"I've seen circuit boards that are in use well beyond their supported life. Some of them do not survive power cycling as the capacitors have leaked."
SOP for reconditioning/repair services (at least in the contracts we have with a few nuke plants) is to replace *all* electrolytic caps on the board, regardless of condition, with new ones. No part substitutions without engineering approval, of course. From what I've heard, we just get the non-critical (pardon the expression!) stuff that's not involved with the safety of the reactor itself.
Dealt with some stuff that clearly went in when the plants were built. Deal with their spares as they rotate them through the stockroom. Just don't try and get an answer from anyone there during a refueling or maintenance shutdown, seems to be a rather ...active time at the plants.
Re: if it aint broke....
In some places I've worked I've had capacitors leak PCBs all over my hand when touched (valve kit older than my parents).
I still managed to keep the feckers going. :)
Re: Do they have spare parts?
There are a couple of companies making PDP11 addin boards for PCs that emulate a PDP11.
What's on the board is a PDP. The PC is just its fancy I/O system.
Re: Do they have spare parts?

DEC already had single-chip PDP CPU's; you could put a large part of what was then still needed as external support circuitry on the die with it today without much effort.
Re: if it aint broke....
running it, sure it's not a problem
but as the fine article points out, finding people that are able to "well understand" the system to add new features and find obscure bugs (there are only obscure bugs left after 40 years in the field) is a problem
and there's also the problem of longevity of the hardware itself, I don't consider running nuclear power plants using hardware found on a garbage dump safe
Re: if it aint broke....
"I've seen circuit boards that are in use well beyond their supported life. Some of them do not survive power cycling as the capacitors have leaked.
Not a problem as the original Leyden Jars have a service life of 250 years if you rattle them every now and again with a broom handle.
I hear that broom handle replacement is budgeted for until 2025, after which they have plans to poke the jars with a recycled Dyson.
Re: if it aint broke....
More features? How about tweets from the reactor core?
icon? "I'm feeling hot"
Re: if it aint broke....
>> I think it's an 8080 running Forth, from memory.
Out of interest, where else would it run from? (The 8080 that is, not the train.)

Two weeks ago we launched another new addition to The Brunswick Beacon.
After soliciting feedback from our readers, we found out there was a need to provide you with more information about events and activities not only going on in Brunswick County, but also communities within a short drive.
A team of Beacon staffers got together and spent several weeks planning out what we thought we needed to do to fill that information void. After lots of planning, we unveiled the new "Arts and Entertainment" pages in the March 20 edition.
With spring officially sprung, I spent the weekend gearing up for my favorite season.
No spring cleaning, planting flowers or mowing the grass for me. I braved the pollen-infused air for an afternoon at one of my favorite places in the world: the outlet mall, or as I like to call it, the eighth wonder.
While I realize saying I needed to go "spring shopping" holds little or no merit, it seemed like a great excuse for me to indulge in only the spring necessities.
The whole world is on fast forward.
Everything we do nowadays is hurried or rushed. The Internet makes any information imaginable available at the click of a button. TIVO and DVR makes it possible for us to not only watch our favorite shows, but also to watch them in about a third of the time if we fast forward through all the commercial breaks.
Not that I'm complaining, mind you. I'd tell you in full detail why I think these things are a few of the best inventions ever, but I don't have time.
So the weekend kicked off with the usual payday quest to fill up the car at the cheapest gas station, preferably one within reasonable driving distance in one of the Carolinas.
About 10 years ago, when the price of petroleum was an issue but not as big an issue as it is now, I interviewed a local businessman who complained about "people who'll drive 20 miles across town to save 2 cents on gas."
Well, anything for a bargain, I always say.
Peter Cottontail hopped down the bunny trail and right into my house Sunday morning.
It was my son's first Easter, and the Easter Bunny really went all out to make this first year a special one.
In fact, I think the Easter Bunny probably had to take some Advil and use some Aspercreme for her back after all that hopping and shopping.
My son, Levi, celebrated his first Easter in grand style with two teal Easter baskets filled with all of the top-rated toys and books
If you've not been to Alaska, you need to go, and you need to go soon so you won't say, "I wish I went earlier."
Alaska is a place of incredible beauty, with wildlife right outside your window, dangers that are more than just conversation and the rugged individualistic spirit of people similar to those who settled this great country.
As a homeowner at Ocean Isle Beach, my family enjoys one of the best family beaches anywhere.
Many would say all of our lovely homes never should have been built on North Carolina beaches and oceanfront. That may be true, but the homes and businesses were built by local builders with legal permits.
The presence of these homes and businesses help the local economies, and the public enjoys the beaches of all of the towns along our coast. They provide jobs and comfortable settings for annual visits by many in our state and other tourists.
To the editor: After reading letters for the past two weeks defending teachers, I've noticed a common thread that seemed to connect them all.
Every single letter was devoid of any compassion for the child who was forced to sit in his own waste for three hours while his classmates stared at him.
How do you justify treating another human being like that? What happened in the classroom that day will most likely have a negative effect on him forever.

I do like the UI of 7 but the start menu ruins it and im not a fan of the taskbar to be honest either. But personal preference doesnt make it good or bad i just dont like it.
The point stands though that windows 7 is like a maze to get to relatively simple network features like TCP/IP control. and as noted already the control panel in general is pretty poor. *shrugs* i still like win 7 but it isnt perfect.

Menlo Park trees defeat duplex

I was gratified by the thoughtful approach of the City Council to this appeal. They clearly listened, heard the neighbors, and honored their commitment to the community.
a resident of Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park
on Feb 20, 2013 at 3:07 pm
The council exercised their role in balancing the rights of owners to develop and the interest of the community in maintaining the landscape that defines the character of the community.
But the process that the developer had to go through for tree removal, with separate processes to the Planning Commission and the Environmental Quality Commission, evaluating different trees affected by the development, is convoluted and unfair. It is also unfair to community members concerned about the canopy who need to attend multiple commissions.
The Environmental Quality Commission has recommended streamlining the process. There is a project to update the Heritage Tree Ordinance to streamline the process, which is in the Capital Improvement Plan for Council to review. I hope that Council moves this project forward, so the city can continue to maintain our heritage trees in a way that is less onerous for property-owners and community members.
Disclosure: I am a member of the Environmental Quality Commission, speaking here as an individual.

This council seems to have more sense than the previous one which spent $7,500 of city money to design an alternative for Kim LeMieux's project a couple years ago.

Short and Sweet Cupcakes
- domesticgodess Jan 29, 2010 06:02 AM
I finally found this cupcake store after going up and down avenue road looking for it.
Its on a side street - across from the esso station, on the east side of avenue road.
(hope this info helps!!)
399 Old Orchard Grove to be exact.
The owner was just lovely and working hard as I talked to her about her cupcakes.
I had one and it was indeed delcious. The icing is made with butter cream and I'm sure
I will be back to buy more. They are hard to resist!!
Yeah, it's hard to find -- I had the same issue, as I was expecting it to be visible from Avenue Rd.
I'm glad your experience was better than mine. I found 2 of the flavours I tried to be a bit dry and uninteresting. I also don't like the frosting. I did rather like the oreo cupcake, though.
Here's the other thread on this place: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/676862
I finally made it to the Wedding Cake Shoppe to try their cupcakes. And they definitely had the best cupcakes I've eaten in Toronto so far.
re: TorontoJo
My experience was not good either. Not flavourful and very dry and expensive for the portion. Although I suspect a lot has to do w/the fancy packaging. I think I will continue to buy my cupcakes at the Cupcake Shoppe at Yonge/Eglinton. Oh so good!
Cupcake Shoppe
2417 Yonge St, Toronto, ON M4P, CA
re: AzulH
Thanks for posting about Short & Sweet. I was trying to find information about them.
Sweet Tooth - I still don't understand how the Cupcake Shoppe is able to have such a following when I find their cupcakes absolutely tasteless (especially the cake) and their "buttercream" leaves an oily film on the tongue suggesting that it isn't a true buttercream. Maybe I am just pickier than most!
re: bonnebouche
I tried Short & Sweet again recently, and unfortunately, the quality hasn't improved. The cake is still too dense and firm, with a coarse crumb. And the frosting is very stiff and not terribly creamy.
I'll reiterate that the best I've found in the city so far are from the Wedding Cake Shoppe.
re: TorontoJo
I assume this is raw icing--similar to Yummy Stuff? The cake description sounds unappealing but if it's the icing I love, I might risk a try...
Yummy Stuff
1660 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M6R, CA
re: Ediblethoughts
re: TorontoJo
Warning taken! I might just buy one to try it if I get around there.
re: bonnebouche
Bonnebouche, you are right! They look prettier than they taste!! I was given a box of cupcakes from Swirls and they were pretty good. Very light, creamy . Mmmm! I've heard Eat my Words is amazing ( i think that is the name....something odd like that). Cupcake Shoppe... uh uh!
Cupcake Shoppe
2417 Yonge St, Toronto, ON M4P, CA
re: TorontoJo
Short and Sweet was the name of the company that made the delicious shortbread. It was sold in beautiful packages at Indigo. I miss them, they melted in your mouth.
I tried this place yesterday. I needed a dozen cupcakes so got a selection. Of the ones that I tried, they were fanstastic! And all of my guests were raving about them. The staff were lovely too and I will certainly be back. And yes, I've had other cupcakes and these were fresh and delicious. Icing is buttercream I believe.
Definitely give this place a try, it is wonderful!
re: ddelicious
What kind of buttercream? Is it an American-style (uncooked) buttercream or a European-style (cooked) buttercream? The former tends to be somewhat grainy and sweet; the latter usually is smoother and has a very buttery flavour and texture.
re: Full tummy
I don't know.... It wasn't overly sweet, and it did seem quite buttery. Really yummy.
I used to only buy cupcakes at the Cupcake Shoppe @ yonge and Eg and then Flour Bakery opened up on Eglinton just west of Bathurst, and their cupcakes are above and beyond the best I've tried. The cake is dense and flavourful and the icing is rich but not sickeningly sweet! I've had a pretty hard time staying away! I die for the red velvet cake! mmm mm!
Cupcake Shoppe
2417 Yonge St, Toronto, ON M4P, CA
re: staceya02
My friend had the red velvet from our selection from short and sweet, she was raving about it. The man in the shop said they make the batter from whole rasberries.
RED VELVET CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE ICING- AMAZING. I found these much better than the one's with buttercream.
Tried these today for the first time.
First of all, the place smells like heaven. I've been to many cupcake shops but this one seemed to be the first to actually smell like cupcakes.
The Ooh La La (Red Velvet) was pretty outstanding. Raspberry filled, not at all dry. Just delish.
The Short & Sweet (Vanilla with gorgeous pink frosting and sprinkles) looked exactly like how I want a cupcake to look like and was pretty damn tasty as well.
Will for sure be heading back to try more of their many different offerings (they had a limited run salted caramel cupcake that looked interesting).
re: callitasicit
Yeah people really seem to like the red velvet it seems.
And it's a nut-free place, which is cool. I personally don't care, but I know lots of people care about that.
re: callitasicit
This is true.
re: ace123
Yeah, definitely not a fan of Cupcake Shoppe. Never was.
Will try your suggestions next time I visit Short and Sweet.
re: magic
I finally tried a Prairie Girl cupcake today for the first time (Red Velvet w. vanilla icing).
It truly does not compare to Short & Sweet, which remain my favourite in this city.
PG has far FAR too much icing, the icing is too sweet (for my taste at least), and the cake itself while certainly not bad lacks the moistness and flavour of S&S.
That is all :)
re: Ediblethoughts
The minis do look more manageable. The icing to cake ratio seemed more in line with my preference. Agreed.

I thoroughly enjoy the dynamics of class piano. Students work hard but can have fun together at the same time. They become each other's support system. I can honestly say that I love working with every one of my students. I enjoy the challenge of "drawing in" those who are least interested and helping those who may struggle but who really care about their work.

Personal Highlights
I am grateful for my loving family: my husband Andrew and our four children Aaron (and his wife Esther), Joshua,Grace and Micah. Our black-eyed Jack Russell Terrier is named "Shiner"!

MASSENA, N.Y. -- State Police in St. Lawrence County have found the body of the Massena man who was missing on the Grasse River since Monday.
Police say John Favreau, 43, drove his snowmobile onto the ice on the river to go ice fishing Monday afternoon. But about 50 yards from the shore, the snowmobile broke through the ice and he fell in with it.
Rescuers began their search for Favreau Monday night after he was reported missing and continued until divers found his body.
An autopsy will be performed at Massena Memorial Hospital.

Summer wouldnt be summer without fresh favas and romanos, but now is when legumes in their dried form come into their own. Some of the best cold-weather eating, after all, involves beans: cassoulet, minestrone, ribollita, chili, and pasta e fagioli (or pasta fazool, depending on where youre from). Bean snobsyes, they existswear by the heirloom varieties from Californias boutique beanery Rancho Gordo. (Lincoln Ristorantes Jonathan Benno, for one, is a fan.) Not only are these superbeans in their countless permutations beautiful to look at, theyre fresher: i.e., theyre harvested, dried, and sold within a year, so theyre likely to be firmer and more flavorful than the average bean.
Jonathan Bennos Pasta e Fagioli
2 cups dried heirloom beans (cannellini or borlotti, at Formaggio Kitchen at Essex Market)
2 1/2 quarts chicken stock
1 cup Parmesan rinds
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh sage
5 fresh or dried bay leaves
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. crushed-red-pepper flakes
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 cups ditalini or tubetti pasta, cooked
2 tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
4 tbs. freshly grated Parmesan
(1) In a bowl, cover the beans with about 2 inches of cold water. Soak the beans in the refrigerator for 2 days and (2) drain. Place 6 to 8 cups of chicken stock (or enough to cover the beans by about 1 inch), Parmesan rinds, and all fresh herbs and bay leaves in a pot. Bring to a simmer, but do not boil. Let the stock simmer for 1 hour. Strain the herbs and the Parmesan rinds. Add dried oregano and crushed-red-pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper. Place the beans in the stock, and gently simmer until the beans are creamy in the center (do not boil or allow the skins of the beans to burst), approximately 2 to 3 hours. (Meanwhile, heat the remaining stock in a saucepan, and if the liquid in the pot starts to get low, add more hot stock.) When the beans are tender, add the pasta. Season to taste. Place the soup in a serving bowl. (3) Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, pepper, and Parmesan. Serves 4 to 6. Adapted from Jonathan Benno.

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) - Organizers of a weekend pro-military protest in Berkeley say they want the city to know how much a boycott in support of a contentious Marine recruiting station is costing.
Hundreds of leather-clad bikers rolled into town on Saturday to rally behind the Marines, whose downtown office has long been targeted by anti-war demonstrators.
Protest organizer Doug Lyvere of the group Eagles Up said he will present a stack of receipts to Berkeley business leaders on Monday to show how much money his group didn't spend in the city.
Lyvere said the bikers will boycott Berkeley until the City Council apologizes or is recalled for telling Marine recruiters in February they weren't welcome.
Council members eased their stance weeks later but did not apologize.

What to make of the Dead Kennedys' "Too Drunk to Fuck" done bossa-nova style with vocals by Camille, a uni-monikered songbird who twitters like a tipsy socialite? Is this concept, stretched to album length by the production team of Marc Collins and Oliver Libaus, a silly gimmick? A wry bit of pop-cultural deconstruction? Or something in between?
Listeners will likely answer these questions differently based upon their vintage (contemporary knowledge of "Teenage Kicks" helps) and the way their affection for punk and post-punk faves manifests itself (contrarians are apt to be amused by a "Guns of Brixton" that sounds like a cheeky nightclub smoker, while devoted leftists who still wear their Clash pins probably won't). In the end, though, the Collins/Libaus opus remains a consistently pleasant listen with a worthy subtext. Sure, transforming "Love Will Tear Us Apart" from the dying wail of a suicidal romantic to a finger-poppin' slab o' Brazil is disrespectful, but so was punk rock's original incarnation. Pretentious former nouvelle-vaguers who've forgotten that need to get over themselves.

County Executive Leopold Executes Agreement for Police Response at Linthicum Light Rail Station
Blue Light Emergency Calls will go directly to Arundel dispatch
Annapolis, MD (May 5, 2011) – County Executive John R. Leopold today executed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Maryland Transit Administration that will expedite police response to emergency calls from the Linthicum Light Rail Station.
"Our Police Department has been working closely with the State to ensure that security is enhanced at the light rail station," County Executive Leopold said. "We are confident that this agreement, coupled with other enhancements by the Maryland Transit Administration, will address the concerns of citizens living around the station."
Anne Arundel County purchased Blue Light Emergency Call equipment at the station that provides two-way voice communications between the MTA Police Monitoring Facility and the Anne Arundel County Police Department. The MTA has also added 15 security cameras, increased patrols and taken measures to decrease loitering around the station.
"Anne Arundel County Police will continue its efforts to meet with community groups and patrol the area, including the presence of bicycle units at light rail stations and on trains," County Executive Leopold said. "I initiated a streetlight program that has resulted in the installation or upgrade of nearly 2,000 lights throughout the County. We have already installed streetlights along routes such as Shenandoah Avenue in Pumphrey and Broadview Boulevard in Ferndale. Streetlights are currently planned for installation on Henson Avenue in Pumphrey."

LOS ANGELES – Alfonso Cuarón was awarded the top film honor from the Directors Guild of America for Gravity on Saturday night, giving the lost-in-space saga an edge on the journey to the Academy Awards.
In the recent bustle of Hollywood honors, Gravity, David O. Russell's con caper American Hustle and Steve McQueen's historical epic 12 Years a Slave had been competing in the tightest three-way Oscar race in years.
But Cuarón's film now has the upper hand for the best-picture and director Academy Awards, and with 10 Oscar nominations, is likely to gain the most statuettes on Hollywood's biggest night March 2.
In the 65-year history of the DGA awards, the winner has failed to also take home the best director Oscar just seven times. Ben Affleck, who presented Cuarón with his guild award, won the same accolade last year for Argo but was denied a best director nomination at the Oscars. However, like many other DGA winners, Argo went on to win the best-picture prize at the Oscars.
