MSI X99S SLI PLUS On Linux
For Intel Core i7 5960X Haswell-E Linux testing I originally bought an MSI X99S SLI PLUS motherboard as it was one of the most interesting, lowest-priced boards available at the time of the Intel X99 chipset debut. While I initially ran into some problems, those issues have now been confirmed to be isolated, and with a replacement X99S SLI PLUS motherboard I have been stressing it constantly for the past few weeks on Fedora and Ubuntu. The X99S SLI PLUS has now proven itself to be a reliable motherboard that's still among the least expensive X99 ATX motherboards on the market.

MSI: Update Your BIOS From The Linux Desktop
Now that the MSI X99S SLI PLUS is running great on Linux, I've been working with the company towards some other Linux improvements along with some other interesting Linux hardware reviews to come thanks to our renewed cooperation. One of the items I've been voicing has been regarding better supporting Linux users with regard to a smoother BIOS/UEFI update process. Well, there is a utility they support for updating your MSI motherboard BIOS from the Linux desktop!

The MSI X99S SLI PLUS Is Working & Running Well On Linux
Last month following the launch of Intel's Core i7 5960X Haswell-E platform I ran into a rather odd situation with the first system assembled using the X99 chipset and eight-core, $1000+ processor: the motherboard failed. Coincidentally it happened at the same time as another motherboard failure at a fellow review site. Fortunately, since then, there's been no other major reports of failures with Intel's new platform. MSI has been helpful in this matter and I've since received a new MSI X99S SLI PLUS to confirm there's no fundamental issues with their board.

Google Music: Initially Underwhelmed, But…
November 17, 2011
Google Music launched to a rather lukewarm reception. Don't Be Too Disappointed By Google Music's Lackluster Debut was the advice from TechCrunch. Here's How Google Music Plans to Compete So Late in the Game was the slightly-perkier reaction from RWW. GigaOm was rather more upbeat:
The service mirrors smilar offerings from Apple and Amazon, with a unique social twist: Users will be able to share their purchases on Google+, giving their friends and followers a chance to listen (one-time only) to singles and complete albums for free.
So essentially it's a music locker linked to an MP3 store (i.e. Android Market). We can browse, sample, and purchase. The browsing works fine. The sampling, not so much, when I tried it on iPad: the browser-based player seemed to think it was playing, but there was no sound. Playing is fine on the Windows/Chrome setup I'm currently using. The Google Music/Android Market apps won't work on my Android phone, but then, not many recent apps work on a G1…
I tried music purchasing in two ways. First, I compared Android Market MP3 prices with Amazon. Amazon was usually less expensive; for example, Laura Veirs' Tumble Bee is $9.49 in the DroidMart, rather than $7.99 at Amazon.
But I did already make one purchase from Android Market: Los Campesinos!' Hello Sadness for $5.99. I'll get round to making a Google+ playlist including tracks from this, and other music I own, soon. Right now, I'm uploading a lot of music from disc, while barely making a dent in the 20,000-track Google Music allowance.
I feel rather overwhelmed, in a good way, by the options open to the web-based music listener. I'm not blown away by Google's offering right now, but will keep on comparing it with Amazon's – and with Apple's, and Spotify's, and with other – and plan to post as I compare. I'm interested in your comparisons also, so feel free to post them as comments here.
Google+ Now Plus Me
July 9, 2011
I'm now on Google+, the thing that's like Facebook, but is not Facebook. See you in the circles?
Facebook, Google, and Privacy
May 12, 2011
So, Facebook "hired Burson-Marsteller, a top public-relations firm, to pitch anti-Google stories to newspapers, urging them to investigate claims that Google was invading people's privacy." I am rather late to the party in using that quote from Dan Lyons at the Daily Beast.
But I can't resist jumping on this rather lovely insight into how low Facebook will stoop. And I can't resist adding further quotes, this time from Michael Arrington's account of the story:
- "it's not an exaggeration to say they're changing the world's notions on what privacy is." They are Facebook. I hope that they are not changing the world's notion of privacy. But they are certainly demonstrating how much of it people are willing to trade for being part of a large online herd.
- "secretly paying a PR firm to pitch bloggers on stories going after Google, even offering to help write those stories and then get them published elsewhere, is not just offensive, dishonest and cowardly. It's also really, really dumb." Yes, and that's the feel-good aspect of the story: the stupidity of Facebook.
- "Google is probably engaging in some somewhat borderline behavior by scraping Facebook content… But many people argue… that the key data, the social graph, really should belong to the users, not Facebook." Yes it should. But Facebook users should by now understand that they are the product, not the customer.
- "Does anyone not see the irony of having to sign in via Facebook to leave a comment on this Techcrunch article?" That's the first comment on Michael's article (as of right now), and several other comments make a similar point. If TechCrunch knows Facebook to be dishonest, cowardly, and dumb, why is it inflicting Facebook's comment system on the TC community?
Simplify Music the Android Way
May 21, 2010
Alternatives to Lala are much sought-after at the moment, if the search traffic arriving at my post with that title is any guide. One things I didn't mention in that post, or in the follow-up about music lockers, is that I was disappointed when Lala was acquired by Apple, rather than by Google.
One of the many interesting pieces of news coming out of Google I/O is that Google did make a music-related acquisition recently: Simplify Media. According to MG at TechCrunch, Google will use the acquired technology to give your Android devices access to your music – including music you'll soon be able to buy in the Android marketplace.
Farhad at Slate provides more detail and enthusiasm.
As [Google's Vic] Gundotra explained, you'll do this by installing a small app on your desktop that will send your music… to the Internet… Once the files are online, your phone will have access to your entire music library whenever you've got an Internet connection… Even though the music doesn't live on your phone, it behaves exactly as if it does.
Count me interested, although not inclined to get as carried away as Farhad. Here's where he goes further than I'm willing to.
In the future, not only will you not get a CD when you buy an album, you won't even get a digital file. All you'll have is an access flag tied to your account in a database in a server farm in some far-off land.
I know that land: it's Lala land, which got taken over, and is about to shut down. That model counts has too many breakable components to be feasible in the forseeable future.
Job Hunting and Dogfood
March 12, 2010
I like the expression eating one's own dogfood. I also like the encouragement it gives to organizations to use their own products and services.
I was reminded of dogfooding during my current job search. Google asked for my phone number and for my resume. Those two requests are reasonable, and usual, but I was surprised at how closely Google stuck to the usual (Web 1.0ish) script.
Google has the usual categories for phone number: home, work, mobile, if memory serves. Hey, wouldn't it be great if you could have a number that you could map to whichever phone you happen to be next to? Yes there is, and it's called Google Voice. I'm surprised that wasn't an option for phone number on the job application.
I'm also surprised by the option for sending a resume: upload, or paste into a window. Why not ask for a link to an online resume. Perhaps one at Google Docs? Yes, I am aware that people sometimes want to keep their resume private, rather than putting it on the web, and that one could use the paste a resume space to paste a link, but still… I uploaded my resume in Word format. Guess I could have used PDF…
I'm surprised that the application process didn't steer me toward the dogfood made by the firm to which I applied (Google). Instead, it steered me toward the firm where the dogfooding phrase originated (Microsoft).
Google Ate My Picnik
March 1, 2010
Google acquired Picnik. Liz at GigaOm leads with the fact that this is the latest in a series of deals by which ex-Googlers have been brought back into the fold.
I've yet to see an answer to my main question about the deal: how will this affect the relationship between Flickr and Picnik? It's been posed in several places, including the comments on Picnik's post about the acquisition.
When I'm using my Flickr account and click to edit one of my photos, it's Picnik that starts up. Apart from wishing that it would start up rather faster, I'm happy with Picnik.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Oklahoma's Blake Bell already is something of a folk hero. But Notre Dame nose guard Louis Nix III seems to have him confused with Paul Bunyan.
"He's a big guy, he's like 6-8 or 340 pounds or something like that," Nix said. "He's a huge guy."
OK, well Bell is actually a 6-6, 254-pound sophomore. But when the Sooners bring in their backup quarterback for their short-yardage jumbo package — the Belldozer, as it's known — he might as well be a true giant. Bell has scored eight touchdowns in the last four games — including four in the first half against Texas — and scored 13 touchdowns on just 44 carries last season.
Considering the Irish have yet to allow a rushing touchdown this season — only the third FBS team since 1996 to be able to say that after seven games — it's the old immovable object vs. the irresistible force story line. But even Irish coach Brian Kelly concedes that Bell is all but unstoppable in short-yardage situations.
"If it's first-and-goal from the 5, we're going to have a hard time keeping them out of the end zone," Kelly said. "It's a great short-yardage offense. He's big, he's physical, you're running behind a very good offensive line. So I told our defensive coaches this, if he's on the field, we're going to have to do something really extraordinary."
The Irish defense, of course, feels it's been doing something really extraordinary all season, and isn't conceding anything.
"That dude?" outside linebacker Prince Shembo said when asked about Bell. "He's a big guy, 6-2, 260. I squat 600. So we're just going to go put our pads on and get ready to meet him in the hole."
Oklahoma's ground game — which has helped the Sooners put up an average of 52 points over its last three games — is more than just its backup quarterback, of course. With junior Damien Williams (552 yards, seven touchdowns, 7.5 yards per carry), senior Dominique Whaley (241 yards, 6.3 per carry) and junior Brennan Clay (211 yards, 7.3 perc arry), the Sooners are averaging 200 yards per game.
Notre Dame's defense, meanwhile, has only allowed three opponents to crack the 100-yard mark.
Golson looking good
Kelly officially named Everett Golson (concussion) the starting quarterback for the Oklahoma game after he had no trouble with a cardio test on Monday, two days after he sat out the BYU win. Kelly said Golson was at "100 percent," and midway through the week, his teammates agree.
"He's good," tackle Zack Martin said. "As far as his concussion, no one recognizes anything going on there. It's like he never missed a day."

Best inexpensive Syrah?
- bbbron Jul 8, 2009 12:44 PM
I checked the archives and there's not a whole lot on this specific varietal. Any recommendations for inexpensive Syrah that can be readily had at Trader Joe's or BevMo?
re: Sasquatch350
True, I tried to make it elastic enough but that is way too general. Let's say everything between $5 (being when I just want something to drink casually) and $30 (for the occasionally party)?
Hopefully that spectrum is aligned with SOMEONE's concept of inexpensive...
Cline is usually a good bet for a solid California Syrah in the $10 range. we're not blessed with a wine section at my local TJ's so i don't know if they carry it, but BevMo does.
Here's a bunch of widely available producers selling good, inexpensive syrahs: Eberle, Kendall-Jackson, Valley of the Moon, Mahoney, Ventana, Church & State, J. Lohr, Gloria Ferrer, Concannon, Frey, Liberty School
For a lot more names, check out the results from last year's SF International Wine Competition (sorted by varietal) here: http://www.sfwinecomp.com/pdfs/Result...
re: BernalKC
That's a great list! Thanks!
re: BernalKC
Good list. Other reliable and easier-to-find shiraz / shiraz-blend winemakers: Jacob's Creek Reserve, Tintara, Vasse Felix, Peter Lehman and Concha y Toro (ok).
A quick look at BevMo's website...
- Qupe Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard '06 (750 ML)
Regular Price: $27.99 ClubBev: $22.99
- Beckmen Vineyards Syrah (750 ML)
Price: $21.99
- Torbreck Shiraz Woodcutters '07 (750 ML)

Regular Price: $13.99 ClubBev: $9.99
Columbia Crest Shiraz Grand Estates '06 (750 ML)
Regular Price: $10.99 ClubBev: $8.99
try the Andezon Cotes du Rhone...unlike most Grenachey CDR's, Andezon is 100% Syrah...it's unfiltered, concentrated, soft, and yummy...in NYC, at Astor Wines, it goes for about 12/bottle...
"best" is one tough term; there are some good suggestions here but the styles of same are all over the map. have you had a Shiraz or Syrah previously that was of interest to you? Do you have a wine shop or wine bar near by where you might be able to try a few different glasses of it? The Qupe Bien Nacido was one of the wines that really triggered my interest in wine but it has little in common with, say the Woop Woop (both recommened by vinosnob - and I have no quarrel with those suggestions).
re: ibstatguy
I would have to agree with ibstatguy, take the suggestions here and find a wine bar or wine club in your area where you can set-up a tasting.
I have even called on a couple of high end restaurants here in Toronto that have excellent Sommeliers and wine cellars to set up tastings. These were private one on one experiences where the Sommelier led me through 5-6 wines at a time; same grape different regions different styles. Very helpful and not as expensive as you might think, certainly less than the cost of 2-3 bottles in each tasting I didn't like and didn't have to buy a whole bottle of.
Further to what's already been posted regarding the need to narrow the search somewhat, if you could at least specify a country you are thinking of, that would help a lot.
Most recommendations in this thread are new world, which is not what I would look for. If you're interested in old world there are lots of options in that price range as well, some of which are gorgeous. Anything from Georges Vernay, for example. I'm thinking of his Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes in particular which I got for around $17-18 not too long ago, but he also has a St. Joseph for less than $30 too.
One of my favorites is Pennys Hill Syrah from Australia. It's roughly $26 dollars in Canada so in the states it should be around $15-18 mark (yes we're over taxed here). They have limited bottles.

In this @ThingsExpo Power Panel, on June 9 at our New York City studio, @ThingsExpo conference chair Roger Strukhoff led a discussion with panelists Mac Devine, Distinguished Engineer at IBM; Jonas Jacobi, Co-Founder & President of Kaazing; Chad Jones, Vice President, Product Strategy for LogMeIn's Xively IoT Platform; Nick Landry, a Senior Technical Evangelist at Microsoft, and Brendan O'Brien, Co-founder at Aria Systems on how the future of computing lies in things and how, as computing takes a much more active role in our lives, it will at the same time become much more invisible.
Brendan O'Brien: "At Cloud Expo in NYC last week I sat in on the Internet of Things power panel and then presented about how to monetize the Internet of Things. The room was packed, standing room only and I stuck around for a full 30 minutes afterwards answering questions before I had to tear myself away. Wow, I have to say I've never seen so much buzz about anything. And this isn't my first rodeo. The interest in all things IoT is nothing short of amazing, and we've only just begun. Take a look!"
The Internet of Things is the biggest idea since the creation of the Worldwide Web more than 20 years ago.
Why? Because the "things" are not just desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets. The "things" come from the world of sensor-driven Big Data that is even now expanding the size of the Web beyond what we thought just a few years ago.
How big? Estimates from everyone from Gartner to the US Government foresee a 100X time increase - then a 1,000X increase - in Web traffic over the next few years. The world will need hundreds of billions of dollars of new servers, memory, storage, and data centers. The challenge to software developers will be increasing as never before.

National Public Library Union Catalogue in UK
OCLC and The Combined Regions (TCR) have announced plans to launch Britain's first freely accessible national public library union catalogue, the first of its kind in the country.
While the objective is to ultimately include all UK public libraries within the catalogue, initially, the project will provide a view of holdings contributed to WorldCat by the 149 local authorities with a current full package subscription to UnityUK. As the UK's only national network for resource sharing, UnityUK participants already provide regular updates of holdings records to WorldCat, which are intended primarily for inter-library loans purposes. This data, as it stands, will be used to provide an initial 'proof of concept' of the union catalogue for review by those UnityUK libraries with a full package subscription in spring 2011 (see timings below).
This preliminary version of the catalogue will then be extended to include other UK public libraries that do not currently have a full package UnityUK subscription and wish to join.
As a pre-requisite for the project, the holdings data of participating libraries will need to be made visible on the open Web through WorldCat.org. Having your collection discoverable virtually anywhere on the Web through worldcat.org was previously only offered to UnityUK participants as a chargeable service. Now, OCLC will provide this unique benefit as part of a full-package UnityUK subscription and has therefore been factored into the 2011 renewals with these customers.
Proposed timetable
It is expected that this project will run through 2 sequential phases:
- Phase 1 (winter 2011) - Develop a 'proof of concept' union catalogue based on existing data contributed to WorldCat by UnityUK sites.
- Phase 2 (spring 2011) - Initial roll out of the catalogue to all full package UnityUK subscribers, seeking feedback on the 'proof of concept'.
Depending on progress of Phases 1 and 2, a general launch date will be agreed upon, when public libraries not already subscribed to UnityUK on a full package basis will be given the opportunity to participate and upload records to the catalogue.
Whilst the 'proof of concept' will be built using existing UnityUK data held in WorldCat, ultimately the success of the catalogue will depend on being able to effectively and efficiently load and regularly update the bibliographic records of all participating libraries. Therefore, running in parallel with the phases outlined above, OCLC will also be working with individual libraries and UK ILS systems vendors in order to obtain full data exports and convert them into the preferred MARC21 format.
Regular communication between those involved will be critical to the success of this plan, so please email any questions or comments you may have to email@example.com. Alternatively for more information please read the recent press release which provides more detail on the project.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book was fantastic! I laughed out loud throughout this book. This girl is so dysfunctional and funny at the same time...I could seriously just start re-reading the book today.
Jenny Lawson is The Blogess. She writes a blog about her life that is so funny, every time I read a post, it is a revelation. It takes me completely out of my own life and I sit at my computer cackling until my husband asks me what I'm doing. And every time I read it aloud to him, in fits and starts as I'm laughing so hard I'm crying and can't breathe and have to gasp out the story before collapsing.
This book is just like that. But longer.
Reading this book, I was laughing so hard that that space in the webbing between my thumb and finger ached. You know, that place that throbs when you've drunk a 78 oz soda and then held it through an entire movie and then you get to the bathroom and there's a line and then you finally get to a toilet and as you're voiding the EIGHT GALLONS of fluid you've been crossing your legs against FOREVER that spot on your hand throbs so much you want to gnaw it off?
Well, this book is like that, too.
This book takes all your sacred cows, skins them, stuffs then, and then dresses them in funny outfits to make postcards to sell at gas stations.
Cannot recommend highly enough, to those who like their humor as twisted as a barrel of snakes.
First thought: she's trying too hard.
Next thought: she's charming
Third thought: her relentless honesty bashes down any resistance to her charm
Fourth thought: what should be the subtitle, is the subtext, and what the book teaches: how to love yourself regardless of how fucked up you are.
*** I'm about half to 2/3 through at this point. The story and her style either improves or grows on me. ***
I found the book improved as she moved from her childhood into adulthood. I listened to the audio version, which she read herself. She seems to fit a role of the awkward person at a party who embarrasses herself to get attention. This can get a bit overdone, but the overall effect on me was to serve as a relief valve to purge any pent-up self-consciousness.
It can seem forced, but when it works, that kind of catharsis feels goooood.
It took me fifty pages or so to begin to appreciate Lawson's writing style. Once she'd hooked me though, it was hilarious. My favorite story was when she over dosed on laxatives and a "rapist" showed up at the bathroom door, which doesn't sound so funny as I write it here, so you'll just have to trust me and read it for yourself.
There are plenty of expletives in the book so if that bugs you, please read something else. Fans of Jenny McCarthy should really love this.
Lawson has a fascinating and totally unique way of viewing the world. Her writing allows us to peer through her eyes, if only for a little while. I loved it.
In the part of the book where Jenny works in HR, I laughed so hard that I was crying. I know that's happened to me before but it hasn't happened often and I can't even think of a specific example. My cat was staring at me while this was happening and then came over and licked my face. I thought that the cat was being empathic because of my tears but realized that she probably just wanted some salt.

November 27, 2014
ATLANTA (AP) -- Kevin Durant of Texas was selected Friday as The Associated Press' college basketball player of the year, the first freshman to receive the honor.
The 6-foot-9 swingman finished fourth in the country in scoring (25.8) and rebounding (11.1) while leading the Longhorns to a 25-10 record, the Big 12 tournament championship game and the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Durant received all but two votes for player of the year from the 72-member national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25. Senior forward Alando Tucker of Wisconsin, the Big Ten player of the year, got the other two votes.
Durant, the Big 12 player and freshman of the year, shot 47 percent from the field, 40 percent from 3-point range and 82 percent from the free-throw line. He averaged 36 minutes per game and also led the Longhorns in steals and blocked shots. He had 20 double-doubles and scored at least 30 points a Big 12-record 11 times.
In Texas' five postseason games, he averaged 28.5 points and 9.6 rebounds.
He is the first Texas player to receive the award, which was first presented in 1961.
J.J. Redick of Duke won the award last season.

Even U Lyrics - Tonex
Verse 1
I am young so I know the pain you feel
It seems like there is no hope for you
But I'm here to say, God says that's not true
And I know that you still may have some
Questions in your mind, in your mind…
Like, you've asked the Lord
"How long will I go through these changes?" and
He replies, "until you realize that I am the source of your life."
He doesn't care about all the things you've done
Jesus is love so you don't have to run
Give Him your life, He is the only one
Jesus loves everyone even U, even U, even U
Verse 2
So you think that you're too far gone
The love of God can reel you back in
And fill your heart with peace and erase the sin
Please let Him in, He wants to use you for His glory
Use you for His glory…for His glory
I know sometimes you feel like saying,
"I just can't make it!"
But with the help of God, He will see you through
Don't you feel His love drawing you?
Jesus loves you…

Photos and Description of this 1 bedroom holiday apartment in 14th Montparnasse - vuesurparis
1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, Sleeps 4
We occasionally rent our private apartment in the heart of Paris close to 'Jardin de Luxembourg' and Montparnasse.
75 m² duplex loft, nicely decorated, cosy, stylish, contemporary, fully equiped.
Very well situated, close to RER B (direct to all airports) Metro lines 4 (North-South) and 6 (East-West). In tranquile street, yet very close to the lively neightbourhood of 'rue Daguerre' with plenty of restaurants and brasseries. 15 minutes away from Saint-Germain.
You will be blown away by the breathtaking view you have all over Paris - from the Eifeltower to Bastille, and right in front you see Montmartre. Complete privacy from the outside.
I'll be most happy to help you plan your stay in Paris, even - if time permits - show you Paris as no tourist ever sees, show you little know secret places.
- Suitability:
- limited accessibility
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed

As a previous poster mentioned the option between an obviously losing game (for example first player is AFK so your team bans nobody) or 30 minutes of not playing is terrible for players at low ELO. At the very least dodging ranked queue only stopping you from ranked queue would be a large improvement.

Following are reactions to the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 decision Monday that Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp., because of their relgious objections, do not have to obey a federal mandate to provide employee insurance coverage for contraceptives:
Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind.: "Employers like Hobby Lobby should not be forced to take actions contrary to their moral and religious beliefs. While I celebrate today's ruling, religious freedom remains under attack across our country. Whether it is faith-based Hoosier food banks and homeless shelters or the University of Notre Dame, we are seeing the free exercise of religion constrained and restricted in too many instances."
Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio: "Health care decisions should be made by women and their doctors – not by their bosses.… If religious freedom is to mean anything, Americans must be able to have their own beliefs, rather than their employers' beliefs imposed upon them. Corporations are not people."
Cathie Humbarger, executive director, Allen County Right to Life: "In this case, Hobby Lobby will not have to offer drugs, like the morning after pill that can end a human life, to employees at the bidding of the government. The pro-life community is delighted with today's decision because of implications for the unborn and religious liberty."
Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America: "Today's decision from five male justices is a direct attack on women and our fundamental rights. This ruling goes out of its way to declare that discrimination against women isn't discrimination."
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops: "We welcome the Supreme Court's decision to recognize that Americans can continue to follow their faith when they run a family business. In this case, justice has prevailed.…"
Roy Speckhardt, executive director, the American Humanist Association: "This isn't religious liberty – it's religious intrusion that will negatively affect many hard-working Americans."

Phil Carey, who was well-known to daytime television fans for playing One Life to Live's Asa Buchanan, died on February 6, following a battle with lung cancer. He was 83.
Carey took a medical leave from OLTL to undergo treatment after he was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2006. He returned to the role later that year. Though the character of Asa died in his sleep in August 2007, Carey made three subsequent appearances, most recently on December 29, 2008 (when a video addendum to Asa's will was revealed).
"In a week where we said goodbye to Clint Ritchie (ex-Clint, who passed away on Jan. 31), the overwhelming news of Phil Carey's death was truly a profound loss to the One Life to Live family," executive producer Frank Valentini said in a statement. "Like Asa, [Phil] possessed an undeniable quality that drew you to him, whether he was amusing you with a story or he was just plain ornery. We can only imagine that he and Clint Ritchie are sitting back and having a drink together."
Cast members fondly recalled Carey as a large presence backstage as well as on-camera.
"He has been like a father to me," says Robert S. Woods (Bo). "I don't know if I could love him more if he was my [own] dad."
Adds Erika Slezak (Viki): "I was incredibly fond of Phil .... I loved that man very much. He will be sorely missed. I was so honored to have the privilege to work with him one final time for our 40th anniversary show."
Carey was a retired U.S. Marine was served in World War II and the Korean War.
On the big screen, he starred opposite John Wayne (in Operation Pacific), Gary Cooper (Springfield Rifle), Henry Fonda (Mister Roberts), Peter Fonda (Fighting Mad) and Tyrone Power (The Long Gray Line). His other TV credits include Philip Marlowe, All in the Family (memorably playing a gay man who hits on Archie) and Gunsmoke.

Ripton, VT: North Branch School
"Tal!" shouted Nick. "Can we hear it!"
"Of course we can hear it. But I have to get everyone all ginned up. This is a moment of great importance." And it was, because I wanted them all to feel and never forget what it meant for one of us to cross the threshold to become a maker.
"Okay, we're 'ginned up'! Or whatever you call it!" Nick clamored.
"But now we have to get our thing together, man," I said.
"We have our thing together, man!" they shouted.
"All right, all right. You're ginned up and we got our thing together, man. But wait, hold on, let me tell you about the time Steve Hoyt presented me and the North Branch School with his first poem he ever wrote on his own. One snowy morning I arrived in the dark classroom and it was sitting–"
"For god's sake already, read it!"
"All right. Y'all hush. Here it is."
And I read the poem, as delicate as a gossamer thread–small in stature, monumental in its existence.
They were silent, but looked over at Steve, who was blushing and dipping his head so that his greasy bangs hung over his face.

Description:Dal'negorsk is world-famous for fine calcite specimens and this is certainly one of the more unusual and striking forms you will ever see. A transparent, extremely sharp, hexagonal calcite crystal is sceptered atop a very elongated, lightly frosted, transparent, tapering, hexagonal calcite crystal. This piece looks just like half of a glassy barbell or dumbbell! Older material from the early 1990s, when these first came out. We have seen just a few others like this on the market.

Lawmakers weigh assault rifle banJanuary 18,2013MONTPELIER Vermont lawmakers plan this year to weigh in on the national debate over gun rights following a recent spate of mass shootings, including one in which 20 Connecticut schoolchildren and six school staff died.
Sen. Philip Baruth, the majority leader in the Senate, is introducing a bill that would reinstate in Vermont the federal assault weapons ban that had been in effect for several years but no longer is.
Baruths bill also seeks to cap the number of rounds in a guns magazine to five.
He said the restrictions would not affect hunters or people who want to protect themselves at home.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Richard Sears said, meanwhile, that his committee will hold a public hearing on gun legislation in early February.MORE IN Vermont NewsHorse farm owner Full StoryVTC says layoffs Full StoryFeature on a charm necklace that belonged to the late, great Lola Aiken Full Story

The City of Albany Department of Youth and Workforce Services is host agency for Community Voice Mail in the Capital Region. Access to communication is vital to reclaiming stability, yet is often overlooked as a means to help people in need.
The Capital Region Community Voice Mail program is part of the national network of CVM sites, empowering people in crisis and transition by distributing free 24-hour voice mail nationwide – directly linking individuals to jobs, housing, safety and stability. Headquartered in Seattle, WA, the CVM National Office website is: www.cvm.org
How Does it Work? CVM provides people in need with a personal, 7-digit phone number. CVM sounds just like an answering machine, allowing users to leave a personal and professional greeting for callers. A CVM phone number looks like any other number, and does not signal the user's status. Retrieving messages is easy. Simply dial the 7-digit number from any touch-tone phone and enter a short PIN number. Users can then hear messages 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
