- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large frying pan. When the foaming subsides, add the white breadcrumbs and stir constantly over a high heat until crisp and golden. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and the chopped thyme leaves. Tip the mixture into a bowl and leave to cool, then stir in grated Parmesan.
- Add the purple sprouting broccoli to a pan of boiling salted water, so the water just covers it. Cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and put back in the pan, drizzle with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper and reheat, shaking gently.

MOSCOW (Bloomberg) -- Russia charged 30 people with piracy after Greenpeace activists tried to board an Arctic oil platform as OAO Gazprom said the protest threatened to have "tragic" consequences for workers under water at the time.
All 28 activists as well as a photographer and videographer, who were detained last month, face as long as 15 years in prison if convicted, Greenpeace said in an e-mailed statement, referring to the group as the "Arctic 30."
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev called for tougher penalties for illegal incursions into oil and gas facilities yesterday, while Greenpeace campaigners occupied gasoline stations in Germany operated by Gazprom, Russia's biggest company.
On Oct. 1, activists delayed a Champions League soccer game between Basel and Germany's Schalke 04, sponsored by Gazprom, unfurling a protest banner. Last week, demonstrations were staged in 30 countries, including Brazil, France and the U.S., outside Russian diplomatic missions and Gazprom offices.
"The aim of such a protest may have been to break into the facility and destabilize its work for some time," Gennady Lyubin, head of Gazprom's offshore oil division, said in an interview posted on the unit's website.
"The consequences of the Greenpeace activists' actions could have been entirely unpredictable and for the divers, quite tragic."
Investigators opened a criminal case last week against the campaigners from 18 countries for piracy and remanded them in custody for two months in the port city of Murmansk.
Two Greenpeace protesters scaled Gazprom's Prirazlomnaya rig in the Pechora Sea on Sept. 18. A day later Russia's Coast Guard boarded the group's Arctic Sunrise ship in international waters and towed the vessel to Murmansk. Gazprom plans to become the first Russian company to start producing oil in Arctic waters at the Prirazlomnoye deposit as soon as this year. Greenpeace activists scaled the same drilling platform in 2012.

Property investment is just one choice for people looking to save for retirement, increase their passive income or become wealthy. So why is property such a good choice for many investors and what makes it stand out from other asset classes such as equities, gilts and bonds?
Property investment has certainly caught people's imagination over the last few years with many building substantial portfolios and others at least acquiring a holiday home abroad, or a single buy-to-let flat to contribute towards their retirement savings. But is property a temporary investment fad or is there more to it than that?
Generally people have a short memory with regards to almost any market. For example, people remember the stock market crash after the Dot Com boom, but not so much the boom itself which was enjoyed for many years previously. Equally, people remember the last few years of substantial house price gains but not so much the falls/ static period over the early to mid 1990s. Now that prices have been reducing again more recently people will doubtless become more cautious about assuming continuous property price growth once more.
To obtain an accurate picture of house price performance versus the stock market, it is necessary to look over a longer period such as the last 35 years for which accurate house price index information is available. Over this period house prices have increased 11% per year on average, whereas the stock market has produced around 13% growth - at first sight this suggests that the stock market would be a better place to put your money.
Firstly take a look at a chart of property average house prices (taken from government data) below :
Whilst this looks like it is growing at a dangerous pace it is important to show the chart on a log scale as compound growth (steady year on year growth) charts always look like those above - a log scale will show a straight line if the compound growth is at a steady rate - and indeed that is close to what we do see below :
However, when looking at these growth curves and comparing to stock-market growth, it is important to bear in mind that many people borrow money to purchase property and that the interest payable on this loan is usually covered by the rent charged to a tenant on the property, or in the case of your own home, the interest payable is similar to the rent you would have to pay anyway if you were a tenant. Therefore, property growth should perhaps be considered in relation to the deposit paid for the property rather than assuming the property has no mortgage.
If a property is purchased with, for example, a 20% deposit (equity), a 5% price gain is actually returning 25% on your equity in just that one year - for example, a £100,000 property bought with a £20,000 deposit and going up 5% or £5,000 would make you a 25% return on your £20,000 deposit. On the other hand if the property was purchased for cash then a 5% gain would only return 5% on your equity. Recent gains of 10 to 20% in property prices per year and the resulting 50% to 100% return on equity is what has attracted speculative property investors. These large gains are due to the power of 'gearing' and it should be noted that if prices dropped by 5% the same magnification would apply to the losses, so property should never be treated as a short term investment if you are seeking safety.
As another example of the effect of gearing upon property returns, if a property had been purchased in 1969 with a 20% deposit then the capital gains as a return on the cash invested would not have been 11% as quoted above, but a much greater 16% per year. This type of long-term return is exactly why so many long-term investors prefer property as a place to invest their money.
For those more active investors who re mortgage to release cash in order to enlarge their property portfolio the returns have been much higher, with many seeing growth in their equity of 50%-100% or more a year over recent years due to the gearing effect upon their relatively low deposits.
The current focus on property is a result of people looking for another investment they can rely upon for their retirement, after the failure of the stock markets to so far regain the heights of the late 1990s and a series of pension scandals. Property can be a solution but it should never be the only one, regardless of how good the returns appear to have been. In addition, relying upon rent as your retirement income can be risky if you only have a small portfolio. Nevertheless property can be a great asset and the fact you already own your own home should not lead you to assume that you have enough property already – many experts reckon you should ignore your own home.This is because your own home is rarely a realisable asset, as most people never downsize in value and hence cannot release the value easily in retirement other than through equity release schemes.
For example as a fairly depressing but realistic calculation for those planning to use their own home as an income generator in retirement; let us look at a couple with a £400,000 house they live in and own outright and assume they decide to use 25% of the equity in the property for releasing cash to generate further income. Upon releasing 25% or £100,000 (a fairly typical limit as the interest rolls up over the years and so the borrowed amount needs to be fairly small) they could either spend £5,000 a year over the next 20 years or so or invest in an annuity that may produce around £5,000 annuity income per year through retirement. A very poor pension indeed.
My opinion is that a true asset should produce an income and that your home is actually a liability, in that it brings several taxes on your income including mortgage repayments, rates, redecoration, refurbishment of kitchens and bathrooms, gardening etc and the bigger the house the bigger these taxes. A buy-to-let property should have these other costs paid by someone else going to work each day to earn the rent they pay you. It is investment property, not your own home, that provides the real return in the long run.
Let us look at a table showing the equity (net asset value after loans etc) of several investments at different rates of return and inflation. We will invest £100,000 and assume that the investments are made with the best available borrowings (maximum gearing), that the investments are made for 20 years and that property inflation is running at 5% pa. Buying costs are factored in where significant. Stock Market Growth (total returns including dividends) is assumed at the 35 year average rate of 5.8% pa plus inflation (although Barclays state that it is unlikely to be able to maintain this rate going forwards).
With the retracement in UK property prices over the last year, opportunities abound. If UK price rises settle to 5% a year over the next few years following these recent price falls , that is still a 20% return per year on a 25% deposit.
Many people are also seeking opportunities abroad and certainly the arguments already expounded can also apply overseas. With European mortgage also relatively low, having a holiday home that can be let out as well as providing a long term retirement nest-egg may well prove similarly attractive to having a UK buy-to-let portfolio.
The perfect time to begin investing is easily seen with hindsight but provided a long-term view is taken, now is as good a time as any to make a start. With recent price adjustments, this is even more so than recent years.
'All my investments have been successfully let and I look forward to a fruitful working relationship with you in the future'.

One day when Jacoby Jones is aging while he watches re-runs of Matlock and repeatedly sucks on those delicious Werther's Original addictions, he'll randomly begin to tell stories of olden times. Remember when a movie ticket only cost $20? And how about when we used phones to connect to the Internet? He'll ask these questions aloud to no one in particular, and children will laugh.
But then he'll say "hey, remember when I was the greatest there ever was and the greatest there ever will be in the Super Bowl?". When the Children are still confused, he can take off his shirt and turn around. And then when the coughing stops, everyone who's present will gaze upon the all encompassing back tattoo he had inked yesterday.
Why stop there, Jacoby? Stomach tats are the new face tat…
Thanks, Larry Brown Sports

Bah Humbug!
BBC NEWS | England | Bristol | School ban on 'dangerous' tinsel
Pupils at a South Gloucs. school have been banned from wearing tinsel to a non-uniform day because teachers say it could cause litter and be dangerous.
Staff at Chipping Sodbury school say the tinsel could cause injury if pupils tried to strangle each other.
Children were sent home with a letter citing "health and safety reasons" for the ban.
South Gloucs Council said the day was "far from being against the spirit of Christmas"
Actually the pupils have been taught an excellent lesson which will serve them well in the future - Petty tyrants are everywhere and will use the excuse of "protecting you" for banning things!

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Rogers, Jill Stafford firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-11192008-155225 Document Title Reciprocity and syncretism in Ptolemaic Egypt : the Denderah temple as a case study Degree Master of Arts Department Ancient Languages Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof G T M Prinsloo Supervisor Keywords
- Egypt
- assimilation
- Ptolemy
- astrology
- astronomy
- Denderah zodiac
- Hathor temple
- syncretism
- honour
- reciprocity
Date 2008-09-05 Availability restricted Abstract
The Egyptian religion existed at least 3000 years before Christ, and the best preserved temples were built during the latter part of the Ptolemaic period. The Ptolemies were Greek conquerors and started ruling Egypt, but over time, the Greeks and the Egyptians accommodated each others' beliefs and cultures.
This study explores the roles of honour, reciprocity and syncretism between the Greeks and the Egyptians. It demonstrates how this relationship was both syncretic and reciprocal through the archaeological evidence left behind. It compares and contrasts the autocratic Akhenaten with the more sensitive Alexander the Great and shows how the Greeks were able to find commonalities between their gods and those of the Egyptians. It shows how the use of Koine, the Greek language of that time, found its way into everyday Egyptian life and was a major contributing factor to the increasing similar ways of life of the Greeks and the Egyptians. The archaeological evidence in funerary artefacts and the Hathor temple, in particular, show examples where Hellenisation did and did not take place. More importantly, the Denderah zodiac at the temple of Hathor, goddess of the fertility and the heavens, is shown to be a construction in honour of the goddess Nut, another sky-goddess, and is not intended to be representative of any particular moment in time of the heavens. The Denderah zodiac demonstrates how syncretism and reciprocity is tangibly evident between the Greeks and the Egyptians.

The AD8001 is a low power, high speed amplifier designed to operate on ±5 V supplies. The AD8001 features unique transimpedance linearization circuitry. This allows it to drive video loads with excellent differential gain and phase performance on only 50 mW of power. The AD8001 is a current feedback amplifier and features gain flatness of 0.1 dB to 100 MHz while offering differential gain and phase error of 0.01% and 0.025°. This makes the AD8001 ideal for professional video electronics such as cameras and video switchers. Additionally, the AD8001's low distortion and fast settling make it ideal for buffer high speed A-to-D converters.
The AD8001 offers low power of 5.5 mA max (VS = ±5 V) and can run on a single +12 V power supply, while being capable of delivering over 70 mA of load current. All this is offered in a small 8-pin DIP or 8-pin SOIC package. These features make this amplifier ideal for portable and battery powered applications where size and power is critical.
The outstanding bandwidth of 800 MHz along with 1200 V/µs of slew rate make the AD8001 useful in many general purpose high speed applications where dual power supplies of up to ±6 V and single supplies from 6 V to 12 V are needed.

Brant Street Pier open house a chance to learn more
About 30 people from the community attended Ward 2 Councillor Peter Thoem's Brant Street Pier Open House on Nov. 24 to learn more about the Brant Street Pier construction project.
The project has experienced delays, including those caused by challenges with concrete pouring in July 2008 and a crane accident in August 2008. Representatives from the city's Engineering Department discussed the timeline of the pier and indicated that the construction site will be active over the winter months. The city does not anticipate a closure except in the event of severe winter weather.
Attendees heard about project details and next steps, including that the wind turbine has been bought and is ready to be put in place in the spring, lighting fixtures have been delivered to the city's contractor and railings are currently being manufactured.
The city plans to have the contractor build the in-water anchor component of the marina over the winter, having it in place in the spring to prepare for the installation of the 22 day-use docks. The city is also finalizing details of the breakwater which will help calm the lake surface around the docking area.
People who attended the open house asked to be told about news regarding the pier—good or bad—and said they would like the information to continue to flow and the website to remain current. Click here for more about the Brant Street Pier. City Councillors Rick Craven, John Taylor and Jack Dennison attended the open house and question and answer session. Also in attendance were City Manager Roman Martiuk and representatives from Tourism Burlington, the Burlington Economic Development Corporation and the Burlington Downtown Business Association.
The Brant Street Pier is part of the revitalization of Burlington's downtown and is viewed as an investment in the city's future. It is being built with safety in mind and to withstand outdoor weather conditions over the next 75 to 100 years.

Hoping this game gets 100% better so it does not become the biggest let down this year, THQ would have done a much better job on this game.

Tomorrow the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center (SOSC) will be opening for the 14th FINA World Swimming Championships from 16th to 31st July 2011. The sports complex was designed and built by architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp), who won the competitive bidding in 2008, and constructed it in under two and a half years. It consists of a hall stadium for several sports and cultural events, a natatorium (swimming hall), an outdoor swimming pool and a media centre. In keeping with a sustainable urban development policy, the SOSC was built on former industrial brownfield land along the Huangpu River. The individual venues are designed so that after the Swimming Championships, they can be used for a variety of other purposes.
Water is the overarching theme of both the park and the architecture of the stadiums and the media centre. It is the connecting element between the buildings, which stand on raised platforms in specially constructed lakes. Thus the round stadiums have a curved lakeside shore round them, while the rectangular Natatorium has a straight lakeside shore. Design affinities and a shared formal idiom and use of materials give the three stadiums structural unity. The steel structures of broad arches with large-format triangular elements made of coated aluminium sheet form double-sided curved surfaces along the frame of the sub-structures, thus evoking sails in the wind.
During the FINA World Swimming Championships, pool events and synchronised swimming championships will take place in the Hall Stadium, which later can be used for boxing matches, basketball, badminton or ice-hockey matches and concerts. The hall has a crowd-capacity of 14,000, which can be increased to 18,000 by the use of mobile seating.
The Natatorium contains four pools arrayed in a row: two standard-sized, one for diving and a leisure pool. It has over 3,500 fixed seats, which will be expanded to 5,000 for the world championships, to meet FINA requirements. The swimming hall is a closed building with a rectangular ground plan, a main structure of reinforced concrete and a roof structure of sectional steel girders. Direct, intrusive sunlight is forestalled by means of narrow toplights along the beams, without preventing natural daylighting.
This swimming complex is located in the open on an artificial island and offers 2,000 fixed stadium seats. For the World Swimming Championships and other outstanding events, capacity will be increased to 5,000 seats. The competition-size diving pool and diving towers are complemented by a competition pool.
The roof trusses are carried by the building structure. A lightweight membrane between the modules provides protection against sun and rain.

Saudi Arabia has decided to recall its ambassador to Cairo and close its diplomatic missions in Egypt after protests outside its embassy over an arrested Egyptian lawyer, state news agency SPA reported.
An official spokesman, quoted by SPA, said on Saturday that the measures were decided in response to demonstrations outside its missions in Egypt and threats following the announcement of the arrest of the Egyptian lawyer in Saudi Arabia.The protests were "unjustified", the spokesman said, adding that Saudi and Egyptian employees of its diplomatic missions had been threatened."Hostile slogans were shouted out and the immunity of the diplomatic representations was violated, contrary to all international regulations," the spokesman said.Hundreds of Egyptians have rallied outside the Saudi embassy this week to demand the release of Ahmed el-Gezawi, who was detained in Saudi Arabia for allegedly insulting the kingdom's monarch. Saudi authorities say the lawyer was arrested trying to smuggle anti-anxiety drugs into the kingdom.Sharp escalationSaturday's announcement Saturday is a sharp escalation in the case.The spokesperson said the violence had led to the suspension of diplomatic and consular services for Egyptian workers and Muslim pilgrims headed for Islam's holiest sites, located in western Saudi Arabia.
On Tuesday, hundreds of Egyptians protested outside the embassy demanding the release of an Egyptian human rights activist held by Saudi authorities who claim he possessed banned drugs.
The protesters chanted slogans against the Saudi regime as they called for the "immediate" release of Ahmed Mohammed al-Gizawi, who was arrested on arrival at Jeddah airport on April 17.The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information, an Egyptian organisation, said Gizawi was detained following a sentence of one year in prison and 20 lashes delivered against him in absentia for criticism of the Saudi government.Gizawi, whose supporters said he travelled to the Gulf state on pilgrimage, was being targeted for his activism in favour of Egyptian detainees in Saudi prisons, it said.

Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

A tale of two cretins!

No score for this post
Response to
A tale of two Kevins
The miracle is the he hasn't sacked him after stating that he signed all the wrong players last summer and then rushed into all the wrong loan signings! What is the justification for keeping a manager with that record with the intention of bringing another thirteen or fourteen more disasters?
Personally I'd believe anything of these two football morons. (Except of course Blackwell will walk away – he will never get another job surely!)
For me not so much 'A tale of two Kevins' but 'A Tale of two Cretins' - patently a horror movie as we sit and watch it unfold.
Clown number 2 would have no idea who to appoint (as usual) and hopefully would go back to someone like Ron Reid if he acts during the season. Probably all too late then though.

4 Cool Pets That Are Easy to Own
Think outside the litter box and get the scoop on these uncommon companions
By Woman's Day Staff
Potbelly Pig
Cost to adopt or buy: $350–$500
Setup cost: $0–$100
Annual cost: $400
Lifespan: 16–20 years
Potbelly pigs (which can grow to 200 pounds!) are smart: Some can learn to open a fridge, shut off an alarm clock or even dial a phone. Pigs need lots of space but should avoid stairs, which they have trouble climbing. Check local zoning laws before keeping one and control their portions because, well, they can be pigs!

The world desk's reading picks from around the world… Read more
While parts of the British media obsess about whether or not the UK has landed a few special forces boots on the ground in Mali, a far more significant deployment has been taking place.
An armoured column of Chadian troops was rumbling on Wednesday through the Niger scrub on its way to the Mali border. The contingent is part of a 2,000-strong force that N'Djamena has promised to deploy to help retake the northern two-thirds of the country from Islamist militias, whose offensive towards the Malian capital triggered France's intervention.
The Chadian army has had extensive training from France and some from the US too in recent years. More importantly, the Chadians have their own history of fighting rebellions in scalding desert sands and mountains – something the smaller Nigerian contingent that has landed in Bamako as part of a hurriedly put together African intervention force cannot quite claim.

How justified was France's decision to intervene in Mali and seek to thwart the advance of the Islamist militants inside the country?
Nearly one week after President François Hollande ordered military action, the question is one which is beginning to reverberate in media commentary. The French have been clear that they need to go into Mali to stop the spread of an al-Qaeda linked movement that has a significant foothold in the country and might ultimately threaten the west. But some figures in the US administration clearly have doubts about the wisdom of the move.
The biggest concerns have been raised in an article in Thursday's New York Times. The NYT says US officials have only an "impressionistic understanding" of the militant groups that have established a safe haven in Mali. It suggests that some US officials wonder how much of an external threat they pose. The NYT quotes Johnnie Carson, the assistant secretary of state for African affairs, who last June played down the terrorist threat to the United States from Mali. He said that the al-Qaeda affiliate operating there "has not demonstrated the capability to threaten U.S. interests outside of West or North Africa, and it has not threatened to attack the U.S. homeland."

The advance south in recent days by Mali's Islamist rebels has caught the region and wider world on the back foot and precipitated a move by former colonial power France to the front foot.
Speaking to diplomats in Paris on Friday, President François Hollande, confirmed France's willingness to intervene militarily on behalf of the Malian government under the terms of existing UN Security Council resolutions. Only hours later on Friday, France said it had initiated military action in support of a government offensive to take back lost ground by government troop. Air strikes followed. Read more

Should you request me who I believe the best-dressed starlet is, I'd let you know I do not know, given that they all look the exact same in any case. Well, which is not totally genuine. There is certainly a single person (properly, Tv character) around containing my heart, and i'm able to confess it.

Lines By Madonna And Other Celebs Pop Up In Stores
This holiday season you're likely to spot singer Jennifer Lopez in Kohl's. You could get a peek at pop music icon Madonna in Macy's. You might even catch a glimpse of reality TV star Kim Kardashian in Sears.
Well, not literally.
These celebrities likely won't be making guest appearances in the aisles of your favorite department stores. But clothes, shoes and even ties that bear their names will.It is part of a big push by stores to cash in on celebrities' money-making names. The move can be savvy. After all, who wouldn't want to don the stylish duds of a superstar? It can also be risky. The stars, figuratively, have to be aligned for celebrity lines to become a hit with shoppers. That can mean having the right celebrity pair up with the right store at the right time with the right amount of involvement in the design of the line. "If it's simply to monetize your moment in the sun, it is not going to work in the long term," says Ivanka Trump, the daughter of real estate mogul Donald Trump who is an executive vice president for his Trump Organization and appeared on his "Apprentice" reality TV show. Trump, 31, has a line of $150 handbags and $125 pumps at Lord & Taylor and other department stores. "You have to be involved in every aspect of the product line," she says. Celebs have long dabbled in design. But with the growth of TV shows and websites that follow everything celebrities say, wear and do, interest in their clothing lines has increased in recent years. Indeed, revenue in North America from celebrity clothing lines, excluding merchandise linked to athletes, rose 6 percent last year to $7.58 billion, according to The Licensing Letter, an industry trade publication. That's on top of a nearly 5 percent increase in 2010.

Outgoing Alibaba CEO Ma says he's 'old' for WebMay 2, 2013 @ 10:15 pm
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) - Alibaba founder Jack Ma, the billionaire who has run the Chinese e-commerce giant since 1999, says he's getting "a bit old" for the Internet.
That's what the outgoing chief executive told a charitable event in Santa Monica Thursday as he pledged $5 million toward a China-based fund that supports environmental conservation projects outside China.
"I'm young for new things but I'm a bit old for the Internet," the 48-year-old said.
Ma's gift doubles the amount raised for the China Global Conservation Fund, an offshoot of the Arlington, Va.-based organization, The Nature Conservancy.
Ma steps down as CEO from Alibaba Group on May 10, ahead of a widely expected initial public offering of stock that could create a windfall for Yahoo Inc., which owns nearly a quarter of the company.
Ma said that he prepared for his retirement for the last nine years and is looking forward to working on philanthropic causes such as environmental conservation.
He said he was inspired to act after visiting his home in China six years ago. A lake he nearly drowned in as a boy had mostly dried up. He also spoke to a farmer who used chemicals on produce that he wouldn't feed his family. "I know something is wrong," Ma said.
Ma will chair the Chinese fund once he steps down as CEO.

51-time amateur winner Stranahan dies at 90
Frank Stranahan, a winner of 51 amateur titles and six PGA Tour events, died Monday in Florida at age 90.
Stranahan was a member of three victorious U.S. Walker Cup squads and won multiple British Amateurs. He won the World Amateur and All-American Amateur six times each. Stranahan won the 1958 Los Angeles Open and tied for second with Byron Nelson at the 1947 Masters. He also was T-2 at the 1947 Open Championship. His best finish in the U.S. Open was a tie for 10th, in 1958.
During the latter part of his career – he retired from competitive golf in 1964 – he became a top-ranked powerlifter.
After retirement, he settled into long-distance running and competed in more than 100 marathons.

Keeping pics and music on external HD
So, I recently upgraded from Win Vista to Win7 and LOVE IT!! Got lots of help from these forums during the course of the upgrade, THANKS!! Oh, I did a Clean Install.
Now I have another question, about my music and photo files.
Before upgrading, I put all of my photos, about 75 gigs and constantly growing, and all of my pictures, about 7 gigs, into Master Pics and Master Music files, on my external HD. External HD is a 300 gig drive, USB 2.0 capable. My internal HD is a 150 gig.
So, after doing the Clean install of Win 7, and starting to reinstall some programs, I thought, "why not save some HD space." I left the music and photos on the external HD. I've set Media Player and Shareaza to get music from, and save music to, the Master Music folder. I've set Adobe Photoshop to the Master Picture folder. In doing this, I've saved about 82 gigs of space on my internal HD. I would think this would help my computer run faster??
So my question is...
Was this the route to take? Does it even matter? Any suggestions or advice??

That's fine, you may see some better performance with a cleaner drive.
If you want, you can add the folders on the external drive in your Library.
|My System Specs
|02 Feb 2010
If I understand you correctly, you have exactly one copy of your music and photos.
If so, I think you made a bad move.
I'd keep originals on my internal drive and backups on the external.
You should get better performance when accessing the files from an internal drive rather than a USB drive.
If you were in a drive space jam, I might understand it temporarily, but only temporarily. Drive space is dirt cheap.
On the other hand, it may not matter to you at all to lose your music and photos to a hard drive failure. Even then, the USB drive is going to slow you down.
|My System Specs
|02 Feb 2010
I should have given a lil' more information. I also back up all of my photos to a secondary external HD that is not connected at all, unless it's during a back up. All of my photos are also on my laptop, which is not the computer in question. I also back up the majority of my important photos to my online Flickr acct. So, any of my important photos are in at least 3 locations.
My thinking is that by saving room on my main hard drive (internal), it will allow my computer to run faster. The only time the external hard drive would be in use is when I'm viewing, editing, uploading pictures, or when I'm listening to, burning or downloading music. At these times, those applications might be slightly slower, by having to access the external HD. I'm not even sure it'd be any slower, as the external HD is newer than the internal, so "might" even be faster.
|My System Specs
|03 Feb 2010
Offhand, I doubt if your internal drive will be "faster" just because you have more free space on it--unless it is nearly full.
The speed of access of any particular file depends to some extent on where it resides on the drive. If you move a bunch of stuff off the drive, how would you know if what is left behind suddenly moves itself to a better location? How do you propose to measure that?
I guess you could try it and find out. Personally, I wouldn't bother unless the internal drive is nearly full.

We've barreled past the trade deadline and we're heading into the stretch run. This is when fantasy baseball championships are won and lost, gentlemen. It's time to start adding middle relievers and scrounging for those last few save opportunities. The good news is that fewer guys are paying attention to the waiver wire. The bad news is that your competitors know you're looking for saves and might be able to out-maneuver you for those precious, precious saves.
We've got a few options that the other guys might not be thinking about and at least one that everyone knows about, but is still on the waiver wire in most leagues in this week's edition of blown opportunities…
Baltimore's Jim Johnson is back saving games after his meltdown on July 27th. Johnson has three saves and four scoreless innings since crashing and burning. Johnson is the undisputed closer and isn't in any danger of giving up any save chances down the stretch.
There could actually be an Andrew Bailey sighting in Boston next week. Bailey has proven that he's capable of pitching back-to-back days and should be activated early next week. He'll be an option in holds leagues until Alfredo Aceves surrenders the closer job, but at this point Bailey looks like a better play for 2013 than 2012. Bailey is waiver wire fodder unless there's a clear need for change.
Cleveland closer Chris Perez bounced back from back-to-back blown save/losses with a save against Boston on August 9th. It's still safe to wave the "Free Vinnie†banner. Vinnie Pestano would be a solid stash for the final month of the season. You've heard fantasy pundits beat the "Free Vinnie†drum all season, but this is the first time Chris Perez is looking mortal. That last sentence sounds incredibly bizarre.
Detroit will be the 2013 version of 2012's Perez/Pestano saga. Next year, it's going to be Valverde/Villarreal. Jose Valverde has gone out of his way to look as shaky as possible in the ninth inning. Papa Grande recently gave up two runs in the ninth inning and still got the save. Meanwhile, Brayan Villarreal has posted a 48:14 K:BB in 36 innings with a 1.75 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. No one is driving the "Free Brayan†bandwagon…yet.
Greg Holland looks awfully good as the Royals newly anointed closer. Some of us wish we weren't so out over our skis on Aaron Crow.
Matt Capps is expected to be re-evaluated on Monday. There hasn't been a lot of news on Capps and he hasn't started any kind of rehab program. The job is Glen Perkins, and Jared Burton's, to lose…possibly for the rest of the season.
A's closer Ryan Cook will be given a break from closing duties after giving up runs in three consecutive appearances. This hasn't opened the door for Grant Balfour to get back into the save picture. He got the first crack at a save and turned in a scoreless ninth inning against the White Sox on Saturday. Cook earned the W after throwing 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief. Fantasy GMs shouldn't rush out anf add Balfour.
There's a plan in place for Cook and it sounds like he'll be back in the closer role by the middle of next week. The only way Balfour is worth an add is if he nails down a few saves and Cook struggles again. Cook is clearly the better pitcher at this point.
The question surrounding Fernando Rodney isn't whether he's for real or not. The question becomes, "Where do you draft him next year?†Good question. How safe would you feel banking on Fernando Rodney to carry the career year he's posting this year into next year?
Jonathan Broxton has given up multiple runs in his last two outings as a setup guy for Cincinnati's closer, Aroldis Chapman. It's been safe to cut Broxton since he was dealt. Meanwhile, Chapman has cemented himself as the second best fantasy closer in baseball behind Atlanta's Craig Kimbrel.
Houston's Francisco Cordero has been diagnosed with a sprained toe ligament and will spend a couple weeks in a walking boot. Houston reliever Wilton Lopez has returned from an elbow strain to stake a claim to the closer job in Houston. Lopez is easily the best reliever in Houston when healthy and was the logical(only) choice to assume the job. What's really appalling is that Houston felt the need to acquire a clearly washed up CoCo in the first place after dealing Brett Myers.
Miami's closer by committee has turned out to be a committee of one. Steve Cishek has done everything possible to earn the full-time closer gig in Florida. He's been the only Miami reliever to record a save since July 23rd. Michael Dunn and the warm bodies in the Miami bullpen haven't gotten a sniff at the ninth inning. Cishek hasn't given up a run since June 25th. Heath Bell continues to pitch his way out of consideration for the closer job. He had a nice little scoreless appearance streak going until he gave up a run on three hits on August 9th. Bell is still in the doghouse and will probably remain there for a while. Cishek is going out of his way to prove that he's a major league level closer.
John Axford and Francisco Rodriguez are going out of their way not to save games in Milwaukee. First, K-Rod gets lit up. Then, Axford gets lit up. There really isn't a clear option in Milwaukee at this point and it's time to start spitballing. Recently acquired Fautino de los Santos is an intriguing option since coming over from Oakland at the deadline. DLS has eight K's in five appearances at Triple-A for Milwaukee. He's the logical choice. Manny Parra would be an option, if he weren't dealing with a sore shoulder. Jose Veras and Kameron Loe are basically middle relief fodder for a mediocre baseball team. If Livan Hernandez is the answer, what, exactly, is the question? Which current major league pitcher is most likely to be throwing in a beer league next season? The Milwaukee bullpen is a bigger mess than the Chicago Cubs are right now.
Frank Francisco is back off the DL and already has a save. It's a good idea to get Frank back into your lineups for clean saves followed by some of the shakiest innings you've ever seen.
San Diego closer Huston Street is back on the DL with a calf strain. Andrew Cashner is also still on the DL, so it could very well be Thayer-time once again. Dale Thayer won our hearts and minds by racking up five saves while Street was on the DL for the first time this year. Thayer was perhaps the most unlikely closing candidate we've seen all year. The committee in San Diego looks like Thayer and Luke Gregerson. Gregerson is one of the better middle relievers in baseball and the Padres have been very reluctant to move him to the ninth inning. Thayer could very well get the first crack at saves.
Giants closer Santiago Casilla is about to add "former closer†to his resume. Casilla is dealing with blisters and Giants manager Bruce Bochy announced that Jeremy Affeldt and Sergio Romo(YES!) will get more opportunities in the ninth inning. Affeldt already has a save and appears to have the inside track on the job.
Drew Storen recorded his first save of the year last Sunday. Don't rush out and add him either. Tyler Clippard needed a day off after throwing three consecutive days, but at least we have some idea about the pecking order in Washington.
