Most Beautiful Spot on Earth
Everything you told me about your property and everything I envisioned are all true. The surrounding areas were also wonderful......beautiful air, scenery and food (so many great restaurants). Thanks for a glorious vacation. Marilyn and Tom
Stunning home that anchors idyllic spot in Maine!
Location: The house sits only a few feet from one of the nicest beaches in Maine. At high tide the waves gently lap 25ft from the edge of the yard, at low tide you will find 150ft of sand and lots of room to play. The house is a few miles from the Owl's Head lighthouse, the Owl's Head General Store (that serves great burgers) and the Knox County Airport (KRKD), should you wish to fly rather than drive approx. 3hrs from Boston. The town of Rockland is only 5 mi /12 min away. The town boasts many delightful restaurants and shops without feeling as touristy as Camden or Bar Harbor. We ate at Primo (fantastic for foodies, reservations required in advance), Café Mira, 3Crows and Rustica. On the north end of town we found a great grocery store (Shaw's) and a Walmart should you forget something. Day trips to Camden, Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor provided lots to see and do. House: The house itself is as beautiful as the pictures. Recently constructed by a family as a private home, it is perfectly set up for two families with younger children or a family of four traveling with one set of grandparents. The master bedroom has a very comfortable queen bed, large bath and a private deck. There are two children's rooms each that have built in twin beds with full sized trundles (a feat accomplished because of the slope of the roof). There is an office with a pull out couch. They share a bath at that end of the hall. Downstairs, with a fair amount of privacy is another queen bedded room with its own bath. The house has many porches, interesting nooks and places to hang out and read or watch all the boats go by. The kitchen is fully furnished and there is a grill for use as well. The house comes equipped with 4 kayaks and lots of beach toys and games. We played nightly badminton matches on the back lawn. Final thoughts: For those considering a trip to Maine, I don't think you will find a better place to call home for a week. The owners could not have been any nicer to work with or more accommodating and their home is one of the nicest we have ever had the opportunity to borrow for a week.
An Artist's Heaven
I have stayed at Owls Head numerous times. The house has an open, clean, comfortable, and airy aspect. What the picture does not show is the lovely view of a road that winds down to the waterfront. In the distance are islands of pine trees, ocean, and big sky with soaring gulls. When you sit at the big wooden kitchen table or on the deck just outside you can gaze outward on all this beauty. It's like being tranquilized! What makes a vacation so wonderful here is that not only are there country pleasures but within a short driving distance are other scenic towns, restaurants, theater, wonderful museums, including an amazing Transportation Museum and the Farnsworth art museum. There is nothing quite like the coast of Maine and in particular Owls Head.

WFXQ-CD is a Class A television station for the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts that is licensed to Springfield. It broadcasts a digital signal on UHF channel 28 from a transmitter at the top of the old Mount Tom Ski Area in Holyoke. Owned by the LIN Media, WFXQ is sister to NBC affiliate WWLP who it serves as a full-time repeater of, and the two share studios at Broadcast Center in the Sandy Hill section of Chicopee next to the I-391/MA 116 interchange.
The station first went on-the-air May 6, 1987 on VHF channel 11. Using the calls W11BJ, it originally aired an analog signal from the Rattlesnake Mountain transmitter site of Connecticut's Fox affiliate WTIC-TV. The station was an Independent that aired local shows to a senior retirement community in Farmington, Connecticut. It used a live skycam weather forecast which consisted of a character generator and a home video camera with shots of the window from the transmitter building.
The owner of the station was the Chase family who also owned WTIC. In 2004 when LIN TV bought W11BJ, there was a construction permit approved to broadcast this station on UHF channel 28 from a new transmitter on Mount Tom in Holyoke. During the building of this transmitter, WWLP temporarily put on a simulcast of sister station and UPN affiliate WCTX via an off-air pickup.
In early-2006, W28CT signed-on from the top of Mount Tom and the W11BJ transmitter was shut down. Right from the start, the station began to simulcast WWLP full-time. LIN TV had initially changed the call sign to WXCW-CA in reference to The CW in anticipation of it becoming an affiliate of that network. This affiliation eventually went to cable-only WB affiliate "WBQT". As a result, this channel's call sign was changed again to WFXQ-CA referring to a possible Fox affiliation.
This caused rumors on several television industry message boards that it would become an affiliate of that network or even simulcast Boston's WFXT. Speculation also existed that WFXQ might affiliate with Fox's new sister network, MyNetworkTV. At the time, cable television viewers in the Springfield/Holyoke market received Fox from WTIC and WFXT as well as MyNetworkTV from WCTX.
On November 16, 2007, the Springfield Republican reported that ABC affiliate WGGB-TV would be launching a Fox affiliate on a new second digital subchannel which was expected to launch at the end of that year. This was ultimately delayed until the end of March 2008 when the subchannel took on a primary Fox and secondary MyNetworkTV affiliation. Up to that time, Springfield held the distinction of being the largest television market without a Fox affiliate of its own. LIN TV was unsuccessful at obtaining the affiliation because of poor negotiating skills with the network.
Until December 9, 2008, WFXQ's analog signal transmitted on the same frequency as CW affiliate WLWC in East Freetown, Massachusetts. On February 4, 2009 after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved a construction permit, the station moved its transmitter next to WWLP on Provin Mountain in the Feeding Hills section of Agawam. Another construction permit from the FCC allowed the station to "flash-cut" to digital sometime after June 12, 2009 although at the time the station was still assigned a "-CA" suffix.
Eventually, the FCC updated its listing and this channel began using the WFXQ-CD calls. During several previous NFL seasons, there had been an instance when this channel was not repeating WWLP. On Saturday nights at 6:30, it aired Totally Patriots. At this point, the future is uncertain for the station. The only network currently not offered over-the-air in Springfield is The CW. Although this is seen right now on cable-only "WBQT", WFXQ could assume the affiliation in order to provide access to the network for non-cable subscribers.
On March 21, 2014, Media General announced that it would purchase LIN Media and its stations, including WWLP, in a $1.6 billion merger.[1] The merger was completed on December 19.[2]

Rash whenever dieting!
Hey guys,
whenever i start dieting i get an itchy rash "red patches" on my chest and upper abdomen..
So i realize that's because of my new diet and i get back to eating like i usually do and the rash goes away the next day..
i'm tired of having this thing restraining me from losing weight..
Did anyone deal with such thing before?
btw when i decide to continue dieting and pretend not to see it it spreads into my neck!
Are you eating different things when dieting? I mean, obviously different amounts, but something new added when dieting?
By "dieting", do you mean low carb eating?
If so, I have a couple of questions for you -
Are you introducing anything new that you do not normally eat, such as shakes or bars? Perhaps you are having a reaction to an ingredient.
If you are eating strictly low carb, with no fake foods, after eating the standard american diet, I would wager a guess that what you are expereincing is candida die off. The standard diet is so high in carbs that it's easy to have an overgrowth of yeast in your system and not know it.
When you cut off those carbs, the yeat start to die off and there is a pretty wide range of reactions to the die-off process - rashes included.
Maybe give us some more inof on what you are eating as opposed to what you were eating?
Yes i'm low on carbs, i eat eggs, poultry, fish and things that aren't new to me, i even eat rice and the bad food i used to eat before but in VERY small quantities, i added nothing strange to my diet..
but maybe one thing that i added is a multi vitamin which goes like this
Thiamine Hcl (B1) . 250 mg.
Riboflavine Phosphate (B2) . 15 mg.
Pyridoxine HCL (B6) .. 100mg.
Cyanocobalamine (B12)- 250mcg.
Betacarotene Plamitate (A) 5000 IU.
Ascorbic acid (vit.C) 100mg.
Alphatocopherol (vit.E) . 30mg.
Zinc ... 10mg.
Selenium (yeast) 25mcg.
Folic acid 250mcg.
so try "dieting" and stop the vitamin, why don't you? and pay really close attention to whether you are doing anything else different. so often when people choose to "improve" themselves, they do a bunch of stuff at once. could it be towels at a gym washed in a soap you are allergic to? a new sunscreen? sprinkling cinnamon on something? you need to be the detective here, sorry, no one else can do it. but the idea that restricting carbs or losing weight in and of itself gives you a rash is pretty unlikely, isn't it? good luck.
Pump- Could it be stress? My body gets stressed when I start losing weight. I get herpes/cold sores. My son gets them when he is under alot of stress also.
I'm taking 500 mg. of L-Lysine and 100 mg. of Beta Glucan twice a day. This seems to have helped. I get both pretty cheap on Amazon.
It very well could be the vitamin. My DH ended up in the ER over a vitamin. He had horrible itching and breaking out from it.

Plus, details on the designer's former clothing allowance.
That's the Raf Touch.
Really, people are still concerned about this?
Conflicting reports, plus video proof.
Shoes straight off the couture runway.
Kate's still not smiling, though.

Frugal Entertainment!

I don't know about you, but my kiddos have 101 things they want to do all the time, and the costs add up! I've been searching for ways to save money while still giving them the opportunity to do some of the things they like to do. For example, this past weekend my boys wanted to go play at an indoor Nerf arena. At $14 a pop (each person!), I was a bit taken back. However, I found a Groupon for half off... and the rest is history! They got two hours to play for $14 total- totally in our budget.
What websites or tips do you have for saving money on entertainment? Do you buy movie tickets at discount? Concert or sporting events at a lower price? Share your tips with us!
|Mon, 09-16-2013 - 3:34pm
I do watch for groupons here and there. The indoor play place near us is normally $8/child, but has a $3 day and every once in a while they have a $1 admission day. I am on their email list so I get updates often. I also try and take advantage of our Y membership, they offer Friday night parents night out and will watch the kids for free 1 Friday a month from 4-8, since its already included in our membership as a perk I try and take advantage of it when possible. Our city also has movies in the park during the summer, we'll pack a cold dinner and take it with us for a nice picnic and movie. Mine are still young enough that even just going to the park and letting them loose is a nice treat for them.

Our daughter's school offers a free movie and popcorn night the last Friday of each month. It's at 6:30 so my husband will have to "rush" home a little earlier than usual but
1) free entertainment for both
2) get them out of house so I can do some cleaning and
3) she will be ready for bed when she comes home!
Many benefits to this free movie night.

Another suggestion is to make sure you read your town and surrounding towns' newsletters. There are tons of activities going on in the fall. It takes some pre-planning and organization but it's also something to look forward to. Our town is holding an Oktoberfest this weekend, with rides for kids, vendors of the different organizations around town and wine and food. You can choose to pay or do the free activities.

| Course Information
Course Schedule
Math 142 WebWork page
Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 7th edition, by
James Stewart
Course Description
Math 142 continues the development of the calculus started in Math 141. We will start where Math 141 left off by discussing applications of first and second derivatives to curve sketching, followed by optimization word problems. We will then discuss integral calculus, which is an important tool for applications to all parts of the natural sciences, engineering and economics. The basic concept of an integral will be introduced and used to find areas, volumes, work, average values, and arc length.
Once the basic ideas are in place, we will cover techniques of integration, such as u-substitution, integration by parts, trigonometric substitution, the method of partial fractions, and improper integrals. Throughout the course, applications of these techniques to problems from other disciplines will be discussed. For more information, please refer to the course catalog description.
Grading Policy
Your grade for the course will be based on your performance on WebWork assignments, recitation participation, and three exams, according to the following scheme:
There will be two midterm examinations and a final examination. Books, notes, calculators, cell phones, iPods and other electronic devices are not permitted in exams.
As with all graded assignments, you will be expected to complete exams in accordance with the university's academic honesty policy (see below).
Homework comes in two forms. One form consists of WebWork exercises. WebWork is an on-line homework system which provides instant feedback. When you have done a WebWork exercise correctly, your credit for the problem is immediately recorded in the database. You are encouraged to discuss problems with other students. However, WebWork exercises are individualized for each student, so you must do your own assignment. There will be a WeBWork assignment posted for each topic covered. You will have approximately one week to complete each WebWork assignment, but it is your responsibility to note when each assignment is due. The due dates will be included in the WebWork system.
To access WebWork, click here. Your login name should be the same as your U of R e-mail user ID, (i.e. the first part of your Rochester e-mail address), and your password should be your student ID number. You can change your password after you log in. If you cannot log in to WebWork, please email the following information to your instructor, who will set up an account for you: (1) your full name, your Rochester email address, and your student ID number, and (2) the course number, your instructor's name, and the times the class meets (e.g., Math 142, Timur Akhunov, MWF 9:00-9:50 am). Your instructor will set up the account for you and contact you when it is activated. Problem set 0 will give you an introduction to using WebWork and will count towards your grade. If you experience any difficulty with WebWork, you should contact either your instructor or your TA immediately.
The other form of homework consists of supplementary exercises that are listed in the course schedule. These exercises do not contribute directly to your total grade, but they will be discussed in recitation and similar exercises will undoubtedly appear on quizzes and exams. It is important to do both the WebWork and the supplementary exercises.
There will be a weekly recitation where problems will be solved and students questions will be answered.
Once you are registered for a recitation, you will be expected to attend that particular recitation. If you wish to change recitations permanently, please notify the instructor in charge of recitations, Timur Akhunov, takhunov at ur dot rochester dot edu. Also, CC both the TA of your current recitation as well as the TA of the recitation that you hope to switch into. No switches will be allowed without going through this process.
Registration for recitation is required and not automatic. Attendance and participation in a recitation counts for 10% of your grade in this course.
Academic Honesty
Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the university's academic honesty policy. Make a special note of the following paragraph from the policy:
"Ignorance of these standards will not be considered a valid excuse or defense. If a student is ever in doubt about an issue of academic honesty, or has any hesitation about a contemplated course of action, the student should consult with his or her instructors or with an adviser in the Center for Advising Services. The penalties for academic dishonesty can be very painful and can affect a student's entire educational experience at the University."
Further Suggestions
It is essential not to fall behind because each lecture is based on previous work. You're learning new material, ideas, and skills, so it's natural to have questions throughout the semester. Here are some great places to ask your questions:
If you are having any difficulties, seek help immediately. Do not wait until it is too late to recover from falling behind, or failing to understand a concept.
Finally, if you have a learning disability, please contact CETL for disability support. Your instructor and TA are also happy to help, so please talk to them as well.

Area Guide to the Regions of France
Regional Guide to Limousin
At a Glance
- Located in central France on the plateau of the Massif Central mountain range.
- A landscape of forests, gorges, rivers and moors. Its "1000" lakes make it popular for water sports and fishing.
- Sparsely populated and predominantly rural there are few large towns.
- Most famous for traditional Arts and Crafts (Limoges pottery and ceramics, Aubusson tapestry, Tulle silk and lace), red 'Limousin' cattle and for traditional fetes and celebrations.
- Located next to the Dordogne, the region is gradually becoming more popular amongst foreign buyers. However property prices and living costs are still marginally cheaper than in the neighbouring regions and renovation projects are more likely to be found here compared to other regions.
- Recent focus on economic development offers subsidies and incentives to businesses wishing to locate here.
Limousin is located in central France, on the north-western plateau of the Massif Central mountain range. A granite plateau of moors, springs and waterfalls, known as the Milles Vaches surrounds the elevated valleys, gorges and peaks of the central eastern part of the region. The region extends into the lower, flatter country of the Brive basin towards the southeast.
The region is bordered by Centre to the north, Poitou-Charentes and Aquitaine to the west, Midi-Pyrenees to the south and Auvergne to the East.
There are three departments within the region: Corrèze [19] to the south, Creuse [23] to the northeast and Haute-Vienne [87] to the west.
The capital Limoges is located to the west of the region in the department, Haute-Vienne.

Limousin is one of the most rural and sparsely populated regions of France and cultural traditions have been largely unaffected by the pace of modern life. The region is known for its traditional Arts and Crafts, and for its tranquil, remote and unspoilt landscapes.
The mountains of the Massif Central occupy the eastern part of Limousin, and the majority of the region is located on the surrounding granite plateau. Most of Limousin's rivers have their source in the plateau of Milles Vaches, and deep gorges and valleys have been carved into the rural landscape of moors, pastureland and forest. The abundance of rivers, streams and lakes in the region make Limousin popular for bathing, fishing, kayaking and sailing. Further south, the low lying Brive basin has a much flatter landscape of vineyards and orchards, and the churches, abbeys, and chateaux built by the renowned Limousin masons can be found throughout the region.
The regional capital Limoges is the largest town in a region more commonly associated with small villages whose cultural traditions, industries and celebrations are well preserved.
These traditional industries not only bear important cultural relevance within Limousin, but are also still important to the regional economy and continue to thrive alongside the newer industries that have developed in the region due to de-centralisation.
Though still relatively undiscovered, Limousin is starting to become more popular as a destination for second-home buyers due to its scenic landscapes and relaxing pace of life. Tourism is definitely set to develop as an important sector within the region's economy.
Climate in Limousin
Average Max and Min Temperatures
Average Rainfall
Due to the different landscapes and elevation changes of the region (the highest peak, Mont Bessou is 984m above sea level), Limousin experiences a varied climate.
Winters in the mountains are characterised by frost and snow with an average midwinter temperature of 0°C while the summers are crisp and clear though certainly cooler than in the lowlands. Temperatures in the Brive basin regularly exceed 30° C during the summer months, while the winters are less harsh than the mountainous regions.
Limousin has a strong arts and crafts tradition of pottery and ceramics in Limoges; tapestry and weaving in Aubusson; Crozant as a centre of the impressionist art movement; Tulle lace and silks, and goldsmithing and stone masonry throughout the region. It is also the birthplace of Auguste Renoir. The landscape of Limousin has inspired many painters throughout history and Aubusson is home to the National School of Decorative Arts, founded in 1869.
There are few large towns in Limousin and the landscape is dotted with charming villages, where folk traditions have survived and traditional fetes and celebrations are common. There are numerous abbeys and churches built between the 10th and 15th centuries along the Pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela.
History of Limousin
No other region in France has more Saints than Limousin and the Ostentations is a septennial parade of relics through the street of every village. Much of Limousin's historic legacy is borne in the abbeys and churches, castle and chateaux, and historic centres of the larger towns.
Bourganeuf in La Creuse is a historically important centre of the Knights Templar and La Souterraine in the north of the region is of religious significance due to the 13th Century crypt that forms part of the Pilgrim route to St. Jacques de Compostela.
Artistically, Limoges, which pre-dates the Roman Empire, is the birthplace of Auguste Renoir, and Crozant is the historic centre of the late 19th/early 20th Century art movement commonly termed L'Ecole de Crozant.
The name Limousin is derived from, the Gallic Lemovices tribe, who inhabited the region prior to Roman conquest in 50BC. The region formed part of the province Aquitania under Roman rule and was subsequently ruled by the Merogovian and then the Carolingian Franks between the 5th and 10th Centuries AD. By the 10th Century, the region was governed by a number of feudal counts and the majority of the modern day region of Limousin was subordinate to the Duke of Aquitaine. In 1152, Eleanor of Aquitaine's marriage to Henry Plantagenet, the future King of England, brought Limousin under the suzerainty of the English crown.
Technically this made Limousin an autonomous feudal state, whose international affairs were governed by the English King, but whose internal affairs were controlled by the regional counts.
Possession of the region was subsequently contested by the English and French throughout the 13th, 14th and 15th Centuries, most famously by Richard the Lionheart, who was fatally wounded in battle at the Chateau of Chalus-Chabrol, in Haute-Vienne (his remains are buried in the castle chapel). The region remained under French suzerainty, following the Hundred Years War (1337-1453) and came under direct royal control in 1607.
Monastic life was hugely important throughout the region during the Middle Ages and the many Romanesque abbeys and churches found in Limousin today are evidence of this. Many of these are adorned with the stained glass for which the region is famed.
During the 18th Century, Limousin found itself in a period of economic growth, thanks largely to the world-renowned porcelain of Limoges. Since this time, the Arts and Crafts industries have expanded and modernised and the region world famous for its porcelain, enamel, tapestry and stained glass.
As it's one of least populated regions in France, tourism is becoming an increasingly important economic activity in a region, traditionally famed for its ceramics and textiles production, which continues to be one of Limousin's major assets. Although the region is not heavily industrialised, the primary industrial sectors are food and drink production, electronics manufacture, metallurgy, ceramics, paper, leather, and timber processing. The rivers here provide hydroelectricity.
In recent years the Limousin has been the focus of economic development and companies have been offered incentives and subsidies for locating here.
Industrial Sectors
Food and drink production are leading sectors in Limousin, due the agriculture of the region.
The manufacture of electrical components and mechanical equipment is largely based around Limoges and La Creuse with the industries well represented, by companies such as Legrand and Dagard.
Metallurgy involves almost 10,000 employees and is a leading manufacturing sector within the region. As well as many small scale businesses, Renault Trucks and Valeo are also well established in the region.
Limoges is world-famous for the ceramic and porcelain industries that developed here in the 18th Century. The traditional techniques have been modernised and the industry continues to thrive led by large companies such as Haviland, Bernardaud and Allia. In addition to sanitary ware and products for the building trade, tableware and decorative items are also produced here.
The forests of the region support the paper, furniture manufacturing and timber industries.
Paper is a traditional industry and employs more than 3000 people, with large European and American companies established alongside smaller businesses. Similarly furniture production is also a traditional activity with the primary employers being Ozoo France, Meubles Sauthon, Stratobois and Eguizier.
The timber industry is a relatively new sector within the region, but with one third of Limousin covered by forest, the industry is expanding rapidly i.e. timber production has doubled over the past 20 years.
Other industries that are key to the region's economy are; the leather industry, with leading manufacturer, Weston located in the region; the graphics industry and the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, which though relatively small are undergoing a period of expansion in the region.
Agriculture in Limousin, is dominated by cattle farming, in particular the famous Limousin breed. With over 800,000 hectares of agricultural land available, almost one third of Limousin is given over to permanent pasture. The granite plateau that surrounds the mountains is known as the "Milles Vaches", which translates as 'A thousand cows'. Although cattle farming accounts for 85% of regional agricultural output, sheep farming is also common in the Northern parts of Haute-Vienne.
Cereals, chestnuts and potatoes are widely grown in Limousin, although many of the cereal and root crops are cultivated as animal fodder. The soils of the Brive basin are far more fertile than those of the plateau and the countryside here is a tapestry of vineyards and orchards.
Limousin cuisine is characterised by the exceptional quality of its meat, (in particular, beef and veal, but it's also known for its lamb, hams, duck and geese), by the fresh water fish of the rivers, lakes and streams, and by the chestnuts and mushrooms of the forests.
Traditional dishes are often simply prepared and make the most of the quality of the produce, slow cooked hearty stews are common. Pâté aux pomme de terre Limousin (Limousine potato pie) is a traditional dish that often accompanies the meats of the region. The charcuterie, sausages and pâtés of Limousin, often feature the chestnuts, morelles and cèpes mushrooms that grow here. The fresh water fish that are caught in the rivers and lakes include trout, pike and perch.
The strawberries, gooseberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackcurrants that are grown in the area are used to make liqueurs, jams, tarts and pastries. The region is home to a number of traditional cakes and puddings i.e. Clafoutis aux Cerises Noires (cherry clafoutis), Apple Flaugnarde (a soufflé-like cake) and the almond gâteaux made in La Creuse. Walnuts are grown around Turenne and are a feature of sweet cakes and puddings, as well as savoury breads and pates that are traditional to the area.

The sexual revolution in India keeps coming. And coming.

Cheers, dude.
I think you would not understand..Sponsored Links
Cheers, dude.
This is a batch installer, it's very useful if you want to install a lot of things at once.Sponsored Links
wow! thanks for a good newsSponsored Links
Exactly what i needed is how to install multiple pkg at once...
Nice tool
I'm really sorry for my other comment... AND I didn't think before I wrote...
Following up on his previous release, this weekend PlayStation 3 developer deroad has updated his Install Package Homebrew application to v1.3 followed by v1.3b for PS3 CFW users with details below.
Download: [Register or Login to view links] / [Register or Login to view links] / [Register or Login to view links]
To quote from his blog on the changes: I have fixed a bug on this homebrew. now this tool is perfect (I hope).
My git was updated to this version (1.3) and on the 25th of December there will be a Christmas release.
Update: I have updated the version to 1.3b (the download link will be the same) I noticed before that i could make it install infinite pkg, and now it does.
More PlayStation 3 News...
To install multiple PKGs at once just do it the normal way but go back one (to the directory of the USB drive) and press triangle. It will then install all PKGs from the root of USB.
No need for other apps where you can already do it.
booth of the pkgs doesnt work on rogero... i told you something needs to be changed for pkgs...
Today PlayStation 3 developer aldostools has released updates to his PS3 ConsoleID, RAP Management Tools and LastGAME Customizer v1.0 PS3 homebrew applications alongside [Register or Login to view links].
Download: [Register or Login to view links] / [Register or Login to view links] / [Register or Login to view links]
Below are the update details, as follows:
PS3 ConsoleID
This tool displays the PSID and the ConsoleID from a LV2 dump created using multiMANs mmOS or Rebugs Toolbox.
How to use: Make a dump of your LV2 and drap & drop the LV2 dump on the tools window. It will show the PSID, ConsoleID and Target ID found in the LV2. You can drag & drop a dump of your flash too, but it only gets the ConsoleID.
RAP Management Tools
Keep your rap files collection clean with remove bad files from exdata.bat (a batch file that will remove the invalid rap files from your exdata folder) and delete_dups (a tool that will compare your rap files with the ones stored in another folder; deleting the duplicated files). Use them in conjunction with [Register or Login to view links] and [Register or Login to view links] to keep your collection of raps organized.
TIP: My PS3 Keys tool can be used to create rap files, just entering the file name and pasting the 32 HEX digits.
LastGAME Customizer 1.0
This new tool takes advantage of the customization options that multiMANs lastGAME applet offers, allowing to create PKG files that mount games and AVCHD movies directly from the XMB, without having to launch multiMANs GUI (btw lastGAME = multiMAN without GUI).
- Current version supports lastGAME 4.1 (loads Hermes payload for firmwares 3.41, 3.55, 4.21, 4.30)
- Allows to connect to PS3 via FTP to retrieve the list of games installed on HDD or on external devices
- Supports drag & drop of multiple folders (x:GAMES) to create multiple PKGs instantly
- Supports command line interface (CLI)
- Allows to mount ISOs (PS2, PSP, PSX, DVD, BDM) and load remote backups (DRM dongle is required)
- Support direct boot (certain games only). Games that require BD mirror are not supported.
NOTE: Support for PSX ISO and 4.31 CFW (MiralaTijera) are not implemented yet on lastGAME 4.1
Special thanks to Dean Kasabow
Changes in 1.4:
- Added support for lastGAME9 and lastGAME10 [COBRA].

Colts quarterback Jim Sorgi just wanted to make a guest appearance in the Super Bowl. Nothing fancy, maybe a kneel down at game's end or holding for an extra point.
He never got a chance backing up the game's MVP, Peyton Manning.
Tomorrow night, things will change as Sorgi and other super subs take center stage in the pseudo-Super Bowl rematch between Indianapolis and Chicago.
Sorgi says the first-team offense will probably play just one or two series. He says then you're going to see all the guys who were standing on the sidelines last year. He also calls tomorrow's game -- quote -- "our Super Bowl."
Manning and Rex Grossman might play into the second quarter. Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher might not play at all and Colts safety Bob Sanders won't even dress.

Big Mama Thorton with Buddy Guy — Ball and Chain, 1970,
Janis Joplin with Big Brother and The Holding Company — Ball and Chain, 1967, Monterey.
What's on your mind?
Late Late Night FDL: Ball and Chain
|By: Suzanne Tuesday May 4, 2010 10:00 pm
Big Mama Thorton with Buddy Guy — Ball and Chain, 1970,
Janis Joplin with Big Brother and The Holding Company — Ball and Chain, 1967, Monterey.
What's on your mind?
Le ZHED!
Lawd, you picked two HUGE one's for tonite, Suz!!
hey newton — how's the west bay tonight?
*blowing smoke off my fingers*
mission accomplished :)
Any Pups got an idea of the date of BMT's performance there, with Buddy Guy?
the utube said 1970 but didn't state the venue
Hit 85F yesterday, down about 7F or so today, cooled off nicely tonite, no AC usage!
Temps under 80F for week, maybe even some rain weekend!
Life is good, more rain, less water I use on our gardening efforts!!!
It's hot!
hey loohoo — that was 1967 at monterey pop festival. long long time ago and iirc her first *big* performance
how's socal tonight?
not hot here :) a very pleasant day in the 60′s with blue skies and white puffy clouds
A/C weather, from out of nowhere.
Thanks, I scoured that youtube, but didn't see the info.
I'll SWEAR I saw Mama Thornton in about '68 at Fillmore (or Avalon, or Winterland, memory forgets).
But I don't recall any other acts. Usually, when I've seen something I KNOW was special, I know who else played.
I DID see Janis, Big Brother, at Circle Star about '68 or so, as my older sis had to take me!
First album! Blind Man, Ball N Chain, lord.
I recall Brenton Wood and an English duo, forget if it was Peter N Gordon or Chad N Jeremy.
I saw Janis, once. Early on. Can still see and hear her. Wow.
Evening all. Suzanne, this music is a gift I have to wait to open.!! Damn. TeeVee's blaring Boondock Saints 2 and I'd rather be blaring Ball and Chain.
Very appropriate to choose Janis on the 40th of Kent State.
I saw that. I must have seen her in '68 or '69 and she looked quite a bit older. Or maybe it's just that I was QUITE a bit younger!
Beautiful here. Warming up a bit, but no heat or airco needed.
ug — remember those days without ac at the cabin… was too hot to sleep at night
wow. never saw either one…. have ya tried a bmt search on the google for the venues she played those years?
hey openhope — how ya doing?
aloha ct — how's paradise tonight?
hey kelly — how's denver tonight?
Muggy and wet…! ;-)
I missed most of it recovering from last nite…!
what were ya celebrating?
Happy Star Wars Day to everyone! (May the 4th be with you!) …. h/t to Stephanie who I stole it from
Good! Working on joining Phoenix Woman on getting banned over at the Great Orange!
Good evening, everyone. How's the vacationing been, Suz, are you still doin' day trips or is your vacation over?
That's GREAT!
Celebrating…? I wish…! It was a looong nite up top…! ;-)
Tho, I saw my middle'un in her cap and gown today for the first time…! ;-)
ha! looks to be fine company to be in dood
hey pastfedup — vacation is over — tonight was my first night back.
i am a *much* nicer person now
Clever girl!
You're always nice, but it sounds like the change of pace was good for the soul. You're 'rested.'
Nope . . . . what's a bmt?
Oh, you tease!! I have to listen to gun fire and stilted language.
I was wondering if there's some way to get a single song from the Soundstage,PBS performance by One Republic? They did an amazing cover of " For What It's Worth" complete with psychedelic light show, just nailed it.
But I can't figure out how to retrieve that one song. And I can't ask my computer wiz sister because we're not talking right now. :]
Maybe it can't be done.
didn't realize how much i was in touch with my inner bitch until i took a break. i'm rested and think i got my mojo back
This is a good thing.
big mama thornton
Phoenix Suns are protesting the new law.
she really is :) dayam proud of her
Yee-haw. We knew the unions would not stand for this.
go to utube, type in the name of the song and start searching through all the so named songs for the one you are looking for
Yeah, I read that today and now some of the baseball players are beginning to talk out.
All the sudden I'm interested in SPORTS. Who could've seen that coming. lol
cool, thanks.
Here it is, but it's not PBS, it's at the Filmore.
They'll fold soon.
When it hits the box office, and the concessions, and fans from visiting clubs, and the visiting clubs themselves, it will really bring that law low.
Thank you for trying. That one's good, but it's not the total piece of art the Soundstage one was. I'll do the research with coffee tomorrow to test my widdle baby tech steps.
That was lousy. I tried a couple of others, but gave up.
Spring training?
if its not on the utubes, you can go to pbs.org and find the soundstage program archives and search through their files….
Baseball is in full swing, basketball is in their playoff season.
sweet.. thanks loohoo
In case anyone's bored:

My apologies for the drive-by; I've got a pile of stuff to do for tomorrow. But someone sent me that one, and it needs to be shared.
hey wigwam — always good to see your fonts — even on a drive by. g'nite
I saw that! And there's more, explaining why Sanford hasn't been kicked out of his governor spot.
Glad you're back!
I had no idea Big Mama Thornton wrote this song.
Janis' version gives me chills.
DOH! Heh.
Went a google, found all KINDS of great sites listing SF gigs and such . . . but no sign of BMT listing in '68 or '69.
I DO recall, after wiki of BMT, she also did Wadin In The Water, and it brought the house down, and I think it had to have been Fillmore West (was Carousel Ballroom, Van Ness and Market).
hey margot — me too! i missed youz guys
how's ohio tonight?
holy motherload batman!
I've got a Greatest Hits I've had since LONG ago.
That tune is still one of my FAVS of theirs, ever.
GREAT song!
a flash from the past from that listing larue linked to — hadn't heard hide nor hair of this band in decades
November 6, 1966
The Jefferson Airplane at the Fillmore Auditorium.
That's some SF history, ain't it . . . .
Don't include post '69, or Oakland, Berkeley, Peninsula/Palo Alto/San Jose thru '74 or so!
Memories come rushin in . . . . . ;-)
jeebus on a hotdog stick — i could use just that listing of musical acts and find utubes for late late nite for years……
That woulda been Signe Toly Anderson, pre Grace Slick!
Had it been two years later, I mighta seen 'em!
Saw JA lots post '67/'68.
Will do. I need to practice these things. Plus, my brain feels like it's shrinking doing eldercare with my parents, planting a big vegetable garden and raising chickens.. I'm actually feeling comfortable skipping over nouns in sentences cause it drags the conversation down. :> Unfortunately, I have a short temper with technology! Nothing brings out the harsh language faster. Poor pitiful me….
Guess I outhta cough up THIS one, also.
just sit down and surf the utubes and start clickiing on links. having no expectations of what to find helps me find great stuff that if i had been looking for something specific i wudda missed
I saw them once, I believe it was the PoFA.
Hi Suzanne windy on the bay this week here. Sunny mild to warm. Moving in sloowly and finding stuff. Landlord wants to give me a trailer of firniture maybe better than my off the street sruff or sell. People are being nice mostly.68-9 at the Golden Gate park Big Borther, Quick Silver Messenger Service and the hells Angels would host for free an afternoon on relaxing in the park with the kids, freinds family dog and anyone wandering by…it was very cool.
Tucson and Flagstaff have voted to sue AZ over the new law.
here's some qms ear candy
hey bb — how goes your yoga?
Those were the days, my friend.
The Pima County Sheriff (that's Tucson) was on Olbermann last week. He is furious about the law.
I was too young to ever see The Matrix, but by Jan of '68 I was 15 and had friends who drove and we hit all the SF venues. So I recall the old Fillmore Auditorium on Geary St (rundown a bit), the switch to Carousel/Fillmore West on Nan Ness/Market, Avalon Ballroom/Playland At The Beach, later on SF Keystone, Winterland at Post N Steiner.
Saw shows at SF Memorial Auditorium, hmmm . . . Great American Music Hall! Great venue later on in the 70′s/80.s
Then there were places in Oakland, Berkeley, Cow Palace of course, Circle Star San Carlos, Palo Alto Keystone and others, all the FairGrounds had shows, down to San Jose . . . .
Up thru '74 or so, it was utter madness any night of the week in the Bay Area, for young and mobile folks with a few bucks and some doobies and hidden gallons of Spinada or Red Mountain Wine wrapped up in sleeping bags.
Yep, they let in sleeping bags to venues in those days, ya sat on bare auditorium floors!
Well, Winterland had seats, and a balcony! Loved that hall.
Okay, I saw that, and hadn't made the connection.
Openhope, I understand your frustration with technology. I MacBook quit working so I bought a cheap Toshiba for laptop purposes. It's like a car to me. I want to turn on the key and have the sucker work. I don't care how or why it works, I just want it to!!
Sorry. Palace of Fine Arts.
I saw a few shows there, as a teen, in that time. Yer spot on.
Phoenix, Ace Of Cups, and all the bigger bands, too.
Flatbed trucks . . . . Speedway Meadows. What a scene!
ANOTHER venue I forgot! Thanks!
My fave QMMS tune, here
Wow, there's hope this shit is going to go newkular!!
Rick Perry GoodHair, oil spill is god's will . . .
Time to run these charlatan's out of town!!!!
No disparage to The Charlatans of Nevada/SF Hippie Fame, either! ;-)
Damn, link fail. Fave QMS tune: "What About Me"
They did so much I loved, but that project . . . . *G*
Wasn't until the past few years I met some folks at fests, learnt that the album was spliced works from both Fillmore East and Fillmore West shows!!!! Mona, Who Do You Love Suite . . . . I got a dude who sent me the Fillmore East recordings, AND the West recordings, and yeah, there's a big difference at times!
I'm so jealous, I got to the Haight too late. '74. Kind of scary-exciting in an iron bars on the shops, Patty Hearst, random shootings[one in front of the laundry near our flat] by the Angry Black People,can't remember the name of that terrorist gang.
It was more " If you go to San Francisco, be sure to wear eyes in the back of your head"….
Cooleeo. Bauer for Governor!!
No politics allowed in the studio. The teacher is very athletic and the sessions that I go to challenge me and that is good. Been on the surfboad in the Bay the last four days building paddling skills. Took a day off.
The yoga has unlimited potential and as I have a temper it is a bridle to reign it in and sometimes it works when I remember to take long slow breathes.
I have cable TV now but have no desire to turn it on, wanted my DSL and phone moved to another room.
One of my friends said that I was too nice to my opponents. That when I win I should also rub salt into their wounds. I said, I'm not a rubbing salt into the wounds kind of guy. But I do get pissed when my work is ignored or people try and pretend it doesn't count. I understand why, the opponent doesn't want people to know that they were hurt by an action.
I think also part of this is because I don't trust gloating, it feels like the kind of emotion the world want so slap off your face.
I think the other reason I feel this way is that the right wing are the kind of people who gloat and mock and say, "Get over it!" But when their "winner" destroys the economy and plunges us all into debt it's not really satisfying to do the "I told you so dance." Especially since I don't know if it would cause them to change their minds.
This is what is on my mind and I'll tell you why in the next post.
I saw Kris Kristofferson and Dan Hicks at a dive in Escondido called The Alley. I saw Jefferson Airplane, Roberta Flack, Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin, Jethro Tull and who knows who else at the San Diego Community Concourse. Don't know whatever became of that place…
Also saw The Beatles at some now defunked football stadium! (My dad bought tickets for my sister and I!)
i was in sf from 73 to 77…
Sometimes, I wish I had been just a few years older, other times, I revel at how young I was and how impressionable I was and how it all shaped me.
congrats on the 100 bb :) no politics is sometimes a good policy
hey sunny — how ya doing?
hey spocko — did you get to ask your ? today?
Yes, thanks. It expresses completely my sentiments about the times we're living in right now.
Yeah, and I want a manual with pictures/explanations for idiots. I like my car manual. I hate the computer's.
Dino Valenti's work!!! Boy did HE add a different dimension to the band.
They were short lived, fraught with band issues all along the way, and burnt out fast.
But while they were here, some 10-11 albums, countless shows from '66 thru to about '70.
Love me some QMS!!!
Nicki Hopkins, Piano for Rolling Stones was with QMS.
Edward The Magic Shirt Grinder!
And Congratulations goes to big brother for the 100!
Nothing like seeing the full band with Dino out front (didn't happen often, strife among Duncan, Valenti, Cipppolina) and a full horn and conga/percussion section!!! Wild as shit!
hey ppd — how's the south south bay tonight?
Yep, SF is a city, THE City, but like all places, watch where ya go (even back then) and know your turf.
Well, you hold certain ethical standards. Winning is winning, and you're doing it. Beck's viewership is down by 1/3 vs. one year ago. You win!
Great shows!
My older sister had to take me along to The Cow Palace in '64 I think it was for The Beatles!
I was 11. Heavy into radio and music, but watching girls pull their hair out and shriek so loud you couldn't hear one note scarred me for life!!!! ;-)
I'll SWEAR to this day we saw them again in '65 at The Cow Palace, but no one remembers it but me. lol
always a good thing ppd
I neglected to say the most important one..there were still gatherings in the panhandle with music from assorted musicians. And the Scene at Hippie Hill.
Plus, I got to know my first street alcoholics who hung out at Golden Gate park. I had a lot of really good conversations in the morning when they were fresh and I was walking my dog, Chai.We talked about their lives before they were street drunks. And other stuff. A great education for a young woman from the unreal Suburbs. I learned people are people, wisdom comes in all forms.
That was back in the old days when you could take a large size dog on the city bus with a bandanna over her nose so she wouldn't look scary. Sooo long ago.
Evening, PPD!
:-) You are so kind to remember! And it is the follow up to my previous post.
The question I asked has a deeper meaning if you know my history. I helped developed the concept of convincing advertisers that their brand is tainted by advertising on a show with bigots, racists and/or people who spew violent rhetoric.
So when the technique works and the people who are impacted pretend it's no big deal it kind of pisses me off. And for the media to buy that it's no big deal is pathetic. Of course it also shows the power of consolidation in the media. If you are big enough you can lose millions of dollars a month and nobody cares. It is like having a monopoly. In a real "market driven" economy, a show that doesn't generate revenue would be questioned by the shareholders. With the right wing it is just lip service when it comes to the market. Plus, remember when CEOs were supposed to know what is going on in their own company? This CEO doesn't even know how poorly one of his biggest "hits" is performing financially.
Here was the question that I asked in the conference call today.
"I know that you don't break out revenue numbers for Fox News beyond the top line, but with
with 81 advertisers leaving the Glenn Beck show following the Color of Change action, the show now seems limited to in house ads and gold ads. Do you have a time frame for how long Fox will subsidize the show until it to starts to generate revenue in line with its ratings? "
Here was Rupert Murdock's response:
"It's not subsidizing the show at all. And it's giving a terrific kick off to the whole evening schedule. It has plenty of advertising, and those advertisers you talk about, I don't think there is anything like that number, but if there were they are on other shows."
I have proof of Beck losing 81 advertisers, but I guess having only 11 advertisers (half in house ads) is fine for Murdock. Good to know.
Speaking truth to power is over rated.
Yes, Nicki Hopkins was a fabulous piano player. I remember seeing his name on album notes from a bunch of different groups. Just read his wiki – a shame he died at the age of 50 from complications of intestinal surgery.
I thought all the screaming was ridiculous too, until I got wrapped up in it myself that night! I still don't understand it…
i'm glad you asked — too bad the forker lied in his answer. you and i and everyone else knows that hurt revenue — they are in denial because if they admit they were hurt, they admit they are weak.
What I really want to know is that his revenue is down. You can't control popular. You know who else was popular? Hitler.
(I was going to say some lame musician, but I actually like many lame musicians!)
Proves nothing more than that Murdock knows how to lie. But Good For You, Spocko!
I hate my car manual. It always refers me to another manual I don't have, except for when it tells me to use buttons I don't have.
Bad enough I couldn't figure out how to roll down the window for a sheriff, but my radio/cd player is past my competency and seemingly has its own special manual…
I'm ready to adopt the old lady gig and start demanding help from strangers.
Interesting you mentioned BMT. About three decades ago, one of my students told me that his uncle wrote "You Ain't Nothin' But A Hound Dog," which I knew to be a BMT song. I didn't challenge him but confidently knew that he was full of shit. About two decades later I learned that I was wrong. (FWIW,the kid's surname was Stoller.)
my camera came with two — yes two — manuals. both with very tiny print. thank goodness i had stephanie here when i got my new cell phone – she showed me how to make the print bigger and was a huge help in figuring out the buttons and such.
I was shocked when he did.
He played with LOTS of folks, and made LOTS of great music.
Cipollina and Valenti, Hopkins gone.
Butterfield, Bloomfield long gone.
The Dead, and The Stones have lost band members.
Skynnard, and on and on.
The music remains. We have that they left for us.
N sometimes, ya just gotta rock out, hippie style.
Thank you for the cake. I am tying some spices recomended for cattaracts and seem to be helping as I can read this type tonight. Lost the reading glasses so try harder. i have a lot of faith in possibilities.
Yep. I think it was a legit question. Too bad nobody will notice. Maybe if I had sworn :-)
Ads against McCain and Norton.
Kinda weak.
thank goodness ya didn't challenge him *laughing* eating crow is difficult — eating old crow is much worse
I'm delighted to hear of Spocko's successes, and Loo Hoo reports viewership is down 1/3rd!
I'll take that for a win, any day. To BUILD on!
Thanks Spocko!
Now THAT'S a story!!!!
Leiber/Stoller were heroes!!!!
what larue said
Are you lined up for cataract surgery? My dad has to have it. You're welcome for the cake, but I'm guessing you won't eat it! We'll have to help you out.
my stepdad had cataract surgery monday morning — that afternoon i got email from him saying he was doing fine. amazing
These are the outfits that still advertise on Beck.
And he trashed mother's day and sending Vermont Teddy Bears, the idiot!
Folks, I gotta run, so thanks Suz (WELL COME BACK!) and all you Glorious Pups for the tunage and chattage.
We do it again tomorrow!
(I love this town!)
g'nite larue
Beck gets a tad testy about his ratings drop.
dood is totally an attention seeking whore who will trash anyone or anything for the money *spitting*
You must have a newer car. Or, I'm better at mechanical manuals because my Dad worked on the manuals for Gemini,Apollo, and the scary secret crap that came after our great Space Conquest. Trained to think in minutia in a physical reality.
Just can't make the jump to high-tech without a support group. Emotional support group.
My communication skills have become unmanageable.
I've come to recognize there's a power higher than me, Technology.
This doesn't look promising…… Poor,poor pitiful me.
But people watch it. This is what I don't understand. He lost a good chunk of his audience when he told them to leave their church if they preached social justice. That would be just about any church!
I knew you'd do that!
*grin* couldn't resist
The wingnuts on radio have long been supported by florists. On radio they run the ads cheap and pay the station of someone puts in the name of the radio host. These ads don't make as much money as the car ads.
I should let the advertisers know about their gay and immigrant bashing. The two groups have many members in their ranks.
openhope, seriously, just sit down and play with the computer — see what ya can find. ya can't break the internets and as long as ya don't delete anything on your computer, ya won't break it either.
just like working on a car, ya gotta tinker around and figure out what does what and how.

hey hatenomor — welcome to late late nite. i get the wolfgang newsletter every week — lotsa great audio to be downloaded there. how ya doing tonight?
His attacking social justice was bizarre. I'm glad some Jesuits stood up to that stupid claim. I wish the church had stood up more to the right wing torture lovers. Of course they have their own current troubles.
I'm not so sure about that one. People like flowers…Not just gays, and I'll bet there are a lot of non-immigrants working in the internet flower gig.
Great information, spocko. In all the shit that's been happening it's good to have a grasp of the Real Stuff. Every other program is affected by sponsor drop-offs. Or used to be before Corporate TeeVee conquered PUBLIC airwaves.
Thank you, Bill Clinton, you fucking whore-of-Satan. Whore-of-Satan is our new favorite phrase in our community. An after effect from our "Crazy Fundamentalist-Christian Drifter with a Huge police record" terrorizing us last month with stalking,attempted premeditated murder,arson. On his arraignment he declared the judge a "whore-of-Satan".
That's how slang gets started. I like Whore of Satan. It works so well in so many semantic situations.
Who could resist? I would've done it but I'm ,uh,well, technologically challenged. Yay, Suzanne.
I'm astonished I ever functioned at all in a dos environment.
Was a blessing when computers for kids became affordable – lots of free consultants (if you were willing to put up with the eye rolling :-)).
Best site on the web. Listen to the opening of gil scott heron's set. Spoken word jazz at it's best.
I'm just concerned about accidentally opening the carburetor!! Man, that spelling looks weird. Should have said Fuel Pump.
The only republican reporter I really enjoy is Kathleen Parker.
ha! no carburetors or fuel pumps at utube — just start playing and clicking on links. learn how to search — many times if ya don't know the name of the song, type a line from the lyric ya remember and odds are that song will be listed. play around and have fun.
darkblack does jazz on sundays over at his place — some great stuff featured there
well folks, about time for me to head out
thanks for the hearty welcome back and for letting me spend a wee bit of time with ya tonight
g'nite all and thank you
Openhope, 1. go to YouTube,
2.bookmark it! and
3.type in what song or artist you want to hear at the very top where it say search.
4.It's magic! You just click on the picture or the words of what you'd like to hear.
Thank YOU! Sleep tight. (whatever that means…)
Back from the youtube music; suz, you keep puttin' these links out there, and I can't resist, then I get lost in the tunes for awhile. Gotta crash now, good nite Suz and g'nite all you LLN firepups. 6 am will come too soon.
Sweet dreams. May the restfulness you've obtained resonate throughout your week.
I'd wish for longer but that will require taking "vacation" in the regular rhythm of life. I've got to relearn how to keep the Primal Bitch in her best form through regaining Peace.
Thank you!!! That's the kind of one step, two step I need. Boy, I hope that rain storm moves in tomorrow as scheduled. I'm SO on this.
If the weather's good, I'm redesigning Chicken Habitats because these "broiler" chicks[ 20] are kind of growing like monsters, not regular chickens. 3 weeks old and fucking huge!! I'm so in over my head on this one!!!
OMG. Now you're really in for it! My daughter raised two chickens from eggs! last year, and what a mess. Do you have a designated area for them? Fenced? You will have more eggs than you know what to do with. I couldn't keep up with the eggs from two chickens for the two of us! Food pantry time!
Beatles~Cow Palace twice ('63 and '64) and Candlestick in '66…last placed they ever performed live (outside of the roof of the BBC Studios for the Let It Be LP photos).
Also Balboa Stadium in SD on that last tour.
Maybe we were at the same concert. Who knows? It was Balboa Stadium, iirc.
I have 6 laying hens raised from day-old chicks who will never be killed except by nature. They're "pensioned".
I give free range organic eggs away when we have too many, which is always. The eggs cost almost nothing because the birds prefer to find their own food, given the chance. Such incredible eggs!!
I'm extending out to meat birds and to do that you have to order 25 chicks,to arrive about 36 hours after they've hatched. Of that 25 there were 3 that died before I picked them up. Another 2 died in the first week, normal. Everyone else is thriving.
I didn't know so many people had experience/opinion/volunteerism when it came to killing chickens. Shit, just mention that you're raising meat chickens and watch the conversation pick up. Every 4th person wants to talk about killing chickens.
I should do a cataloging of the ways a chicken can be killed and why it's better than the other ways a chicken can be killed. I guess this is the beginning of the de-sensitization process.
The funniest facebook group ever!
I wouldn't worry about that. People are omnivores for the most part. If you want the best chicken, you've got it! I'm looking into getting meat at the fair from 4-H this year. Split with lots of others.
We're splitting a steer with 3 other parties. We can control what w want it to eat, how much marbleised fat we want after it's been grass fed[ weird taste, we're conditioned to grain fat flavor]. We're so spoiled! The current president of the local Black Angus Society is raising it.
I just talked my husband into raising 2 pigs until slaughter time-late fall. Now I have to find out about humane slaughter in our area.
Good for you. I know nothing about slaughter, I'll just use whomever the 4-H recommends. It's good that you can raise your own. I can't do that where I live.
My main focus is vegetable growing.I'm learning to focus on providing a constant source of food. Laying hens and vegetables are passive abundance. All else is just a bad day in killing yet to happen. It's all fun and games when they're babies……
But, it's time to put another splinter of ice in my heart and raise meat animals in a good way. With humane slaughter.
I was there too, but just for Sunday. I am sure Big Brother was added to the Sunday evening show too. I'll have to check my pictures, taken from the corner of the stage. Dressed as the nerd I was, and wearing a Leica around my neck, I just walked down the aisle to the stage and started shooting. (It was a simpler time.)
I still have my program, but can't find my "Big Brother Loves You" button.
hey cobernicus — wow
i would love to see those photos. and hear about your memories of that simpler time.

UConn comeback fizzles on close call
|Cincinnati's Lance Stephenson, top, shoots past Connecticut's Kemba Walker in the first half of their NCAA college basketball game in Cincinnati, Wednesday Dec. 30, 2009. (AP Photo/Tom Uhlman)
CINCINNATI — The timing of the foul call — with 0.7 seconds left to play and the game tied — was odd. It's not one that is made often in such a situation.
But that was not Jim Calhoun's focus Wednesday night. The UConn coach's mind wandered to the missed free throws, the gaggle of offensive rebounds that resulted in too few points.
The foul call produced the final score, 71-69 in favor of Cincinnati before a crowd of 10,409 at Fifth Third Arena. It was the other things that decided 10th-ranked UConn's fate in the Big East opener for both teams.
"You can look at the replays, too," Calhoun said of the foul official John Cahill called on Gavin Edwards as the teams looked headed to overtime. "I haven't seen it, but look at the replay. I haven't seen it, so I have no idea."
Or maybe he was just not saying in order to keep himself out of trouble.
Kemba Walker hit a 3-pointer with 9.4 seconds to play that forged a 69-69 tie. The shot brought UConn (9-3, 0-1 Big East) back from its third 12-point deficit of the night. On the other end, Cincinnati freshman Lance Stephenson got away from Jerome Dyson, spun into the middle of the lane and found Edwards and Alex Oriakhi waiting for him.
Oriakhi swatted the shot away as the buzzer sounded, but amid it all Cahill was frantically waving his arms and indicating a foul on Edwards. A few minutes passed while the officials checked the replay to see how much time remained. Stephenson calmly stepped to the line and sank both free throws. UConn was left with a 50-foot desperation heave from Dyson that bounced harmlessly off the backboard.
"All I was thinking was, let me get to the free throw line," said Stephenson, who finished with 21 points, "because I know I'm going to knock these down."
Stephenson did. The Huskies didn't. Again. It really hurt this time.
UConn hit 17 of 26 free throws for the game, six of 13 in the second half. Do the math on that one. The Huskies secured 15 offensive rebounds and managed just seven points from them.
The opportunities to seize the game were there well before the call that won't be made nine times out of 10. The Huskies can rue the call, but they aren't going to lay the blame on it.
"Free throws killed us," said Stanley Robinson, who did his part with 22 points and seven rebounds. "We just got outplayed. We got outhustled, too. We were getting rebounds on the offensive end, and we weren't doing anything with them."
The Huskies lost their Big East opener for the second straight year and the fourth time in the last five years. Cincinnati (9-3, 1-0) walked away with its first victory against the Huskies in six attempts. The two previous games here played out much the way Wednesday night's did.
Aside from the different ending. This time, the Bearcats did what needed to be done. They might have benefited from the foul call, but three times they shoved the Huskies into deep holes. UConn expended tremendous amounts of energy crawling out of those.
Much of that energy came from Robinson and Dyson, who were mostly a two-man team. Dyson poured in a game-high 24 points and added seven rebounds and five assists. They were the only two Huskies in double figures. They needed help and there was little there.
"They were great," Calhoun said. "It's unfortunate they had to do so much when others did so little. They are two great players but we aren't going to win a lot of games like that.
"We need other people to do things."
Edwards finished with eight points and seven rebounds in 32 minutes and might replace Ater Majok in the starting lineup soon. He also finished wondering exactly why a foul was called.
It was called and the Huskies lost, but not because of the call. There was so much more than that.
"I don't think we can blame it on the last play," Edwards said. "We didn't play that good the whole game. We have to put it on us. We shouldn't have to rely on a last-second call like that to decide the game."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Of lies, damned lies and polls
There's a principle in science called the Observer Effect that says the phenomenon being observed is changed by the act of observation.
If the same principle were applied to the science of polling, someone might reasonably ask if the canvassing of public opinion during elections is actually altering the outcomes.
Do polls lead or follow public opinion?
Where, for example, would the political parties be in the standings today if there were no polls? Is the so-called NDP surge real, or is it being sustained, reinforced and propelled by polling? Will it collapse because of the surge, or will it become a rising, unstoppable juggernaut?
On the flip side, did polls that suggested a Tory majority was within reach cause the party to slip?
Of course it's impossible to answer these questions, although the odds are that some of the pollsters will turn out to be roughly correct on election day.
The possibility that their prognostications might only be self-fulfilling prophecies -- that the prediction of a certain outcome produces that outcome -- cannot be measured, although in broad terms the NDP's unexpected breakthrough in Quebec seems to have been the catalyst for its growth elsewhere.
If nothing else, it is clear the electorate is volatile and that many Canadians are not thrilled with the choices in this campaign, which might explain the sharp differences in some poll results and the deep uncertainty about the final outcome.
There have been suggestions in the past that polling should be banned during elections because of their unhealthy bandwagon effect, but the idea has never received much support.
It would be like saying that we can't be told what we think, even if there's a risk that disclosing our collective thoughts might unnaturally create winners to be embraced and losers to avoid.
(It's not unusual, for example, to hear someone say they voted for Candidate X because they thought the person was going to win, and not for any other reason. Thank God, in my view, that voting is not compulsory.)
For their part, polling companies say their work is scientific and that the proof is in the pudding.
Indeed, although there are examples of polls that got it wrong, most of them achieve varying degrees of accuracy within the margin of error, 19 times out of 20.
So why, then, is one of the country's most famous pollsters so negative about political polling?
Allan Gregg, chairman of Harris-Decima, said last February in an interview with The Canadian Press, which is one of his clients, that he's appalled at the state of polling in Canada.
"The dirty little secret of the polling business," he said, "is that our ability to yield results accurately from samples that reflect the total population has probably never been worse in the 30 to 35 years that the discipline has been active in Canada."
Part of the problem, Gregg explained, is that fewer people have land lines today, and of those who do, many do not answer calls from polling firms or hang up after answering. As a result, response rates have fallen to just 15 per cent, mainly from elderly, less-educated Canadians who live in rural areas. It means the results are skewed and cannot be trusted, Gregg says.
He also blames the media for substituting quickie polls for real research, and for allowing polls to direct coverage and story lines.
And yet, assuming the polls are scientific, it is a little unfair to blame the media for telling the public where the race appears to be going, particularly when the political parties themselves are often citing their own polls as evidence of their momentum or some other untrustworthy spin.
The media are sometimes given too much credit and too much blame for how elections turn out. It's unlikely, for example, that these brief observations will have the effect of changing anyone's voting intentions, which merely shows there's an exception to every rule, most of the time.

Controversial elementary math program divides NH schools
During Tuesday night's school board meeting, Golden Brook School Principal Christi Michaud and Center School Principal Kori Becht shared a progress report of enVision Math, which replaced the controversial Everyday Math program at the start of the current school year.
Some Manchester schools use Everyday Math, and last October a group of parents in the state's largest school system approached district officials and said the curriculum was leaving middle school students ill-prepared for traditional math courses.
The curriculum, used in city schools through grade five, seeks to teach math concepts through patterns and games, rather than memorization of formulas and tables.
Parents have blamed Everyday Math for poor student performance in high school algebra and on state performance tests.
Hooksett officials have also cited issues with Everyday Math, saying in November the program doesn't have the "rigor" that helps students to meet the state's common core standards.
In Windham, a dozen district teachers tested enVision Math last year. The school board approved a permanent change this past spring, Superintendent Henry LaBranche said.
As the current school year began, district parents and teachers were encouraged to monitor the program's process online at www.pearsonsuccessnet.com, the program's accompanying website.
"I think this is a very exciting program," school board vice chairman Michelle Farrell said. "So far I've been hearing a lot of positive things."

"The rouille turns out thicker if the recipe is followed very carefully. Egg must be at room temperature (let it stand out for an hour), and the oil must be added v-e-r-y slowly. It took me five minutes to add it to the emulsion. Also, the "mayo" will not be as thick as commercially made mayo, but it smells and tastes divine."
