ST. MARYS — The local DARE deputy spoke with high school students to speak with them about the dangers of sexting and being too liberal with their personal information on the Internet, such as on social media sites.
"It's a serious problem across the United States, and it is a problem here in St. Marys," Memorial High School teacher Monica VanderHorst said to her health students about sexting.
Blank noted he visits all the schools in Auglaize County.
ST. MARYS — Over the next two weeks, a local library will be holding a magazine drive to renew its magazine subscriptions that are available for patrons.
The St. Marys Community Public Library is holding its annual Adopt a Magazine drive, in which community members can buy a magazine subscription for the library. St. Marys Community Public Library Director Sue Pittman said the library has already had numerous magazine subscription donations.
"Leader Look Back," is a collection of stories and headlines from 75, 50 and 25 years ago this week. This week's edition examines stories from March 20 to March 26, 1937, 1962 and 1987.
ST. MARYS — An Ohio senator says the Obama administration needs to do more to ease soaring fuel prices.
"Simply put in order to get energy prices down, we have to deal with the supply issue," U.S. Sen. Rob Portman said during a telelconference with regional media on Thursday. "It's got to be a reliable supply so it's a matter of producing more energy in our country, particularly on public land."
ST. MARYS — Each year, the St. Marys Area Chamber of Commerce recognizes outstanding individuals who have dedicated much of their time and effort to making St. Marys better by awarding them with the Builder of Bridges award.
"The award is presented as a recognition of community service, contributions and the individual's work to make St. Marys a better place," Master of Ceremonies Jeff Squire said Thursday night at the St. Marys Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet.

Hi and thank you for creating this community. I wonder if anyone has purchased from this website: I purchased some parts for my Briggs Lawnmower and I'm waiting, I should have them by Monday. Any experiences are much appreciated. I'll report my experience. Also is it recommended to buy aftermarket parts from oregon, are they good quality? |

I would suggest Jacks Small Engines, which is in your State. I have never dealt with the one you posted. |
I think "inteparts" is located in Baltimore MD |

Everyone assumes Nintendo is telling the truth?
They always quash rumors, in absolute terms, regardless of whether or not they're true.
Such as "there will not be a price cut for the Wii U this year." Followed by the announcement of a price cut what, two months later?
I believe they also stated they weren't going to announce any new hardware at E3 the year that they announced the Wii U.
I don't get it. That stream gives me a headache. The music, constant chat scrolling, and constant pausing just don't mesh well for me. I don't understand why this is so popular.
Walmart has Wii u bundle with swap force starter pack and nintendo land for $260.
Toys R Us has BOGO 40% off all video games. And BOGO $1 for $15 and $20 video games.
I have this and Turok 2.
Turok 2 is a much better game, but the controls are just impossible to get used to now.
Last time I tried playing it, I got through the first three or four levels and still found the controls awkward.
If Turok 2 got an HD remake, I'd be so happy.
Layton? More LAYTON?
Level-5, do you even remember making Dark Cloud or Dark Cloud 2?
You seem to never ever ever ever mention it.
It's a simple fact that used games are beneficial to everyone, including publishers and console manufacturers. Any economist would agree, but apparently Microsoft didn't hire one of those.
People who buy new games, then sell them, are getting money to buy more new games. Used games buyers won't suddenly increase their budget to buy the same amount of games new instead of used, they'll simply buy fewer games.
The new games buyer who can't sell his games, likewise, will not increase his budget by the amount for which his games would have sold - he will simply stop buying.
Also, 3DO would be awesome.
It has the only non-PS versions of Road Rash (3D) and Return Fire (+ Maps O' Death), as well as the best versions of Gex, Another World, Alone in the Dark, and (arguably) Myst.
I still want to see The Guardian Legend.
It's consistently missing from people's top ten lists, which can only lead me to the conclusion that almost no one has actually played it.
Because it's pretty much the best game on the NES.
Given that every single person that worked for Vigil Games now works for Crytek, it would be nice if they secured the franchise.
Wait, Europe already had the Wiiware version?
There are people that don't own a Wii? I'm confused.
A video game about a movie about video games?
Reminds me of Street Fighter: The Movie: The Video Game
I don't understand all the doomsday stuff regarding Nintendo.
Yes, they've lost money this year.
Yes, their projected profits were reduced from 1+ billion to 284 million.
Sony lost a billion dollars in the PS3's first year. They lost money for the next 3 years. XBox 360 lost money for Microsoft in the first few years.
Nintendo lost a whole bunch of money from the Virtual Boy fiasco.
Nintendo has plenty of money, and plenty of future profits. They are not in trouble. Also, the 3DS will easily recover when it finally gets some AAA titles.
Me too.
I hope that camera spinning thing is an option, because I have no trouble telling left from right no matter what direction the car on the screen is facing.
"Hyrule Lake" -> "Lake Hylia"
I was hoping they would add in some deleted content from the original that folks around here were talking about, but I'm definitely still picking this up, probably on Monday.
If it took 5 years to develop Skyward Sword, I'd say there's essentially no chance a Zelda will come out this year for Project Cafe.
There could be one on the 3DS though.
Great, I loved the original Dragon Warrior but haven't played the rest.
Heard DQ3 was the best of the NES games.
I'd give it a 7 or 8. No mention of bosses? I remember them being pretty fun and the core of this game.
@62: I am here!
I will be downloading this soon as both of my NES copies have been loaned out. It might be time to change my avatar back to the weapons merchant.
Chrono Trigger (truly baffling), Crystalis, The Guardian Legend, and why hasn't Faxanadu been released in the US yet? Both of my NES copies have been borrowed and I've been getting the itch.
Aw, I'm disappointed. I was hoping for at least a 9, but I'd give it a 10.
This and The Guardian Legend are the best games on the NES imo.
Also this game was published by Hudson Soft/Nintendo, developed by Hudson Soft, and Licensed by Nihom Falcom.
I just bought KEY and NBA Jam and Goldeneye.
Am I really supposed to buy DKCR and Sonic Colors as well?
Apart from the mixed reviews, it's also a short game with little replay value (unless you're one of the few that decide to be bold and take on the harder difficulty).
I bought the game of course, but if I wasn't a die-hard Nintendo/Metroid fan, I would say it's not worth more than a rent. I need to have it in my collection, but most players would benefit more from renting it, beating it, and returning it.
I love that when Faxanadu is announced, people immediately mention The Guardian Legend and Crystalis.
Are we some sort of weird cult that loves these three games?
Anyway, <3 Faxanadu, great game, everyone here should dl it. I will also be saddened if it doesn't get a 9/10 on this site.
To this bit, though: "so there might be a few spots where you will have to grind on enemies before you're strong enough to continue."
The EXP system in Faxanadu is nothing like Zelda II. It only determines your "title" and how much gold you start out with the next time you die or load the game from your mantra. Your stats are based purely on the equipment you are using.
I know that no one will ever read this, but I had to point out why the reader's choices appear to be "contradictory."
When you allow readers to choose best Wii game, best handheld, and best overall, it's definitely possible to get 3 different games, even if the best overall game must be the same as one of their other picks.
Consider that letters are Wii games, numbers are handheld games, and each column represents different voters.
Wii: A B A B B
Best Wii game: B
Best Handheld: 2
Best Overall: A
@Nintendoftw: We Nintendo fans here at Nintendolife really don't believe the Wii is horrible or a failure. What makes you say that?
I couldn't find more than a few games worth purchasing for the Gamecube, but I have almost 20 games for the Wii, and I've sunk another couple hundred into WiiWare and Virtual Console.
With so many huge releases coming so close together (SMG2, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Metroid: Other M, Skyward Sword), it's tough to imagine that Nintendo isn't just winding down here. I really don't think that once these are out that they'll be developing a new game in each franchise for the current console.
I'm guessing that a new console will be announced early 2011 and will be released by the holidays.
@6 - Well, the song should at least be in the cutscene where Samus fights Mother Brain. I believe that was where this song played in Super Metroid.
Edit: Actually I think it also played during the Kraid and Ridley fights.
I don't have WSR. I was basing it on my experience with Red Steel 2, which cannot be played sitting down.
No force detection would make it better for Zelda, but I'm still concerned at having to do stuff like bowl bombs. If the game frequently requires full range of motion, it's going to be tough to play it whilst sitting down.
I don't know if I like the idea of standing in front of my TV to play this game for 30-60 hours.
If that's something N really expects me to do, then I probably won't be able to finish the game until 2014.

Spinner with motorizer, my first try
Motor is a christmas-birthday surprise. I like the fun with it. If anyone has hints how to reduce the stripes on the photos, get it spinning more equally let me know...had all the batteries in it though.

Yes, some very NICE Mango trees you have there...Wow! That Manila is doing fabulously! Look at how fast and big its growing! Enjoyed the captions as well...thanks for posting! |

Aw...Aw...Aw....Awooooooooooooooooooo. Love that "Manny" dog. Hows the fruit? That tree really does grow very nice in low humidity areas. Got one myself here in SoCal and it?s the best growing of the bunch. I?ve only had mine for two years and has not flowered but soon dog very soon. How big was it when you got it? Also very interested in Moe,Larry and Curly. Where did you find it or did you graft the knuckleheads yourself? |
Thanks San Diego Tim and Pugslie - yeah Manny is a mangomonster ain't he? At least for out here. Even though he grows up them hangs down, I will curious to see how high the ranginess will take him... Hey - anyone ever seen a mango tree in India? Boy they are like 80 feet high by 100 feet wide!!!! And you, Mr. SoCalMango Overlord - you've got about 6 more years before it gets to be Manny's age. And you are right - on the 3rd year I got my first fruit...yep, that's right, not fruits but FRUIT! (lol)_ It was a home depot seedling just a 3 foot twig with no branches when I got it. The knuckleheads I got from Mimosa Nursery (dear downtown LA) just a few months ago, and they grafted them. I know the Haden is not in vogue right now as a premium manga, but I thought at least I'd get the NDM and Valencia Pride in one tree and that would save me some room....the VP also grows fast and big so I'll have to do some barbering until I can't reach them anymore, after that... the stooges will have the sky stage all to themselves! MangoMangledDog |

Nice...Maybe I'll get me up to Mimosa and get me one of them Stooges. Problem is Miss Foxy has me on a short leash and will probably put me out on the dawg house if I come home with another treat... I am licking my chops at the prospect of getting one though. |

Nice collection, Gary. Winter wasn't too unkind to your trees all things condsidered. You are behind us by quite a few weeks or even months in some cases. When is the normal maturity time for say, your Manila? Thanks for posting. Harry |
Nice collection and cool pics! Thanks for sharing :-) It's surprising to me, how some of your mangos can grow so close to the washingtonia palms... Felipe |
- Posted by jfernandez 10B (email@example.com) on Thu, Mar 17, 11 at 20:31
heartbreaking how that last freeze affect your mangos......I predict you will make a full recovery in a couple of month but don't forget the shade cloth for those little ones. What, you are in the 90's already??? |
- Posted by red_sea_me (My Page) on Thu, Mar 17, 11 at 20:55
Your collection is looking very happy Gary, congrats. Should be a good year for mangoes....... -Ethan |
You got your mango mojo working, your Thrilla from Manila looks great. I just planted what was called a "Philippine" mango and hope it comes out as good. They must be cousins related via Mexico. |
- Posted by jfernandez 10B (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Mar 17, 11 at 23:48
MangoDog Felipe is right. Old Manny stands in a land among giants yet he finds a way to SHINE. Those are unique pics you should submit them to the FRUIT GARDENER. JF |
Hey Gary, Nice to see your Trees coming to Life. That Flowering Glenn is friggin out of control. Do you a strong aroma from your flowering Mangos? I know my when mine was flowering, my Greenhouse was filled with that aroma. How much do you water your younger Mango trees? I am just starting with Mangos myself so I have little to no first hand knowledge when it comes to growing them. Thanks for sharing.........keep the pics coming! |
Laverne Nursery Manila mango is what you have? They seem very well suited to your dry climate and cold hardy with your harsh winter temperatures with nighttime plunges. The Laverne Manila is of Mexican origin? Must be. BTW California citrus has thicker skins than Florida citrus due to the cold desert nights compared to Florida. |
Harry - the ripening time seems totally dependant on the heat. Last summer was cooler so Manny didn't produce until Aug. 1, but the year before it was the beginning 0f July... Felipe - actually used the two trunks of the palm trees and a big rock to create a triangular planting pocket, and used some rocks and mortar to essential build a planter between them all, filled it up with dirt and potting soil, and put a drip line in the middle - let me see if I can show it in a picture... JF - we've hit upper 80's but no 90's yet....soon enough though...Fruit and Gardener....? hmmmmmm.....we'll mull that over.... MojoSandjo - I've seen it said and written a bunch of times that the Manila and Phillipine are close if not the same mango, but i don't know....so good luck with yours ...yes, i'm sure it was a laverne manila from the depot.... Jacob13 - no i've never smelled a mango flower - I think the greenhouse concentrates it....mine seem inert when it comes to odor...as far as watering - about 10 minutes every other day now.... thanks, gang.....mangoK-9 |
there is one more that I have that I displayed as a reply to I think a post by Jacob13, but for those that didn't see it..... Madame Pickering |

zands... Where'd ya buy the 'Philippine' mango? It is not easy to find a true Philippine from the Philippines mango, because it is much easier to get the Manila type which is a descendant from the trees the Spaniards brought to Mexico during the Manila-Acapulco Galleon trade, hence "Manila" mango. I'd like to buy one that is closer to the Guimaras mango which is listed with Guiness as sweetest. Nipa doesn't seem to be in the business anymore and I found out they sold the Philippine'Carabao' after they sold their business(apparently). :) |
tropicaliste Pine Island nursery sells the Philippine mango. You should read their description and phone the right person there who can tell you more. They say it got to Florida via Cuba. It must be the same Manila type that is big in Mexico? "like to buy one that is closer to the Guimaras mango" That would be nice. Carabao is getting to be a generic name. For what it is worth Zill's wholesales out a Philippine mango they call Carabao and Pine Island *might* be getting their Philippines from Zill's "best in business" grafting operations. Jeff Hagen posts here and can get you a Zill's Philippine/Carabao mango Very murky |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pine Island nursery sells the Philippine mango
tropicaliste Where? Got my Zills Philippine mango from Jeff Hagen |
- Posted by tropicaliste 7b (My Page) on Sat, Mar 19, 11 at 20:03
Thank you zands you're information's very useful, I would have liked to get the "carabao" offered by Nipa because I knew they were Filipino so I felt the scions were true "carabao", (nipa is the grass the roofs of native houses are made of) as a lot of their seedlings were listed on ebay as being directly from the PH. All the "alphonso" and "champagne" manila mangoes are descended from the original imported seedlings, it was a back and forth trade so for instance you will find many South American origin fruit in the PH like Soursop, Sweetsop, Caimito and Mombins. I e-mailed PI about theirs quite a long time ago and they told me they believed it to be a true PH mango but could not say definitively. Heard a lot of good things about Zill's from the experiences on this forum and I think you're right on as far as trying to go through their retail partners. :) |
Your trees and yard look great. I like the three stooges tree wish more nurseries would do that, its a great idea. |
tropicaliste--- You could always mail an inquiry to "Zills high performance plants". Enclose a stamped envelope or postcard. Zill has no website. Plus you can email PI again and might get more definitive answer but they might not have one because they are getting their grafted Philippine mangoes from Zills. Get it? lol |
....agree with you SW, the only danger that I can see being the more aggressive graft will outgrow the slower ones, potentially swallowing them up....thus....a need for vigilant pruning at least for as long as one can or is willing, to do so.......... I have a 5-in-1 citrus tree that I didn't trim for the first 6 years and the lemon part was so agressive I had to completely axe it off at the graft point - and so now the remaining oranges and lime are sharing space very nicely with just a snip here or there for control ....mangopupster |
Mangodog that planter set up you created is awesome!! Love it! |
marinfla - space restrictions are the mother of ingenuity! mangobonesnatcher |
I hear ya on the land deficit... I suffer that problem too. So I have lots of mangoes and figs growing in containers all lined up and the only place I could put one more tree in the ground would be in the front yard. But i haven't decided yet what kind of fruit specimen will be worthy of the last spot. I have to give the debate some time to roll around in my head; There are so many choices so little space :) |

Gary we got slammed this weekend with 6 inches of rain - my mangos in full bloom are in trouble. How was it in the desert?? Mango question for anyone: does a heavy rain storm stop pollination? JF |
- Posted by hmhausman FL 10B (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Mar 21, 11 at 14:45
JF: While moisture can help with the proliferation of anthracnose it does not, in my experience, hinder pollination. Harry |
jfernandez Could wash off some pollen if very heavy rain... |
JOE ` yes I heard you guys got hit like cannon balls with this spring/winter storm. We only got about 1/2 inch from last night and some today, but boy is it COLD out - only hit 59 today, and our average high is supposed to be 80. I was really shccked at how cold it is outside....snow in the mountains ONCE AGAIN - and I thought that was a distant memory from what we've had the last few weeks.... Good luck with your mango bloom/babies........ mangofido |

Harry Thanks for your feedback I was a bit worry because my flowers on my Edward are drying up fast. Gary What a crazy weekend, even today, we had 1/2 in. and it looks like more rain on Wed. and Thrus. The frost is over but it seems like old man winter still has a few surprise up his sleeve. JF |

Shari Courtier and Scott Carpenter run Three Tree Wellness Center, a place that is part spa, part classroom, and part bodywork-supplies store. The staff nurtures mind, body, and spirit with spa services such as massages, which can incorporate reiki energy work, and mud wraps, which draw toxins from the skin while equipping it to someday sprout an apple tree. Art-therapy classes put students in touch with their inner power animal, and continuing-education classes keep massage therapists abreast of body mechanics and best practices. The retail portion of the center, SNL Supplies, hawks wares such as essential oils, shower gels, and candles.
Decades ago, brothers Bob and Earl Green founded a business dealing in red meat and seafood on April Fools' Day. Later, on another fateful April 1, they passed the shop to Bob's son and daughter-in-law, and today, more than 50 years since its 1958 opening, B & E Meats and Seafood still cuts, smokes, and marinates prime carnivorous fare at four locations.
Beef raised in Washington and Oregon comes to B & E Meats in three variants: natural, traditional, and grass-fed on the grounds of Harlow Ranch. The staff preps T-bones and tenderloins alongside signature kalbi beef ribs, whose soy, ginger, garlic, and sesame-oil marinade evokes tropical barbecues. Such meticulous seasoning is par for the course?the staffers smoke their beef jerky for up to six hours with alder and cherry-wood chips to preserve rustic flavor, and they cover pork roasts in sea salt before wrapping them in banana leaves. Their smoked candy salmon also boasts a tantalizing mix of sweet and salty notes, and corned beef comes traditionally cured for St. Patrick's Day.
Freezer variety packs tempt those who can?t decide on one meal with 25?100 pounds of cuts and goodies, which include steaks, roasts, ground beef, and bacon. In the interest of convenience, the store provides cooking instructions for many of its popular dishes, as well as game-processing services that package meats by weight.
A barbecue place is only as successful as its saucy foodstuffs, and the hot and mild meats at Jones Original Barbeque have been winning affections for more than 20 years. The family business still makes full use of the original sauce recipe devised by the Jones family patriarch, William U. Jones, Sr., and refined by his son, William U. Jones Jr. . With signature ribs and smoked brisket featured on Food Network's BBQ with Bobby Flay, the eatery was voted Best BBQ for five years in row (2004–2008) by readers of Seattle Weekly. Beside bountiful rolls of paper towels, tables populate with chopped pork, brisket, and hot links in sandwiches and on platters with collard greens and mac 'n' cheese. After wrestling down sharable meat combination platters, patrons can snatch bottles of their signature barbecue sauce to slip into holiday stockings filled with coal and other grilling essentials.
Forget lengthy lists of hard-to-pronounce preservatives?each batch of Empire Ice Cream starts with a base that contains just four ingredients: eggs, evaporated cane juice, and cream and milk from Fresh Breeze Organic Dairy. From there, the ice cream makers simply fold in extra ingredients to make various flavors, relying on local providers like Hayton Farms, who supply the berries for the shop's raspberry and strawberry ice creams, or Stumptown Coffee, who delivers the ground espresso beans for Empire's coffee-flavored ice cream. There's even a unique bacon-flavored ice cream made with real pieces of local, natural bacon, as well as a s'mores ice cream loaded with house-made marshmallows and real vine-ripened graham crackers. Brownies and cinnamon rolls from Eat Local are also available in the shop, and sometimes make their way into decadent sundaes.
The chefs at BluWater Bistro elevate classic comfort food by working mainly with premium, largely local ingredients. Take, for instance, a BLT—reinterpreted with additions of Pacific Northwest king-salmon fillet and pesto mayo—or a burger ascending to gourmet status with layers of Tillamook cheddar spread over wagyu beef raised on pastures near the Snake River. BluWater Bistro's owners strive to match their chefs' quality and creativity by giving each waterfront location a refined yet cozy aesthetic, surrounding diners in large windows, fireplaces flanked by leather furniture, and flat-screen televisions that play more interesting shows when they sense lulls in conversation. The Green Lake establishment also extends to an outdoor patio. The kitchen staff continues sending out dishes from the full menu as late as 1 a.m. every night of the week and shows up early on the weekends to prepare brunch.
What began as a small counter selling sausages at Pike Place Market mushroomed into a meaty empire with Uli Lengenberg in the role of chief link master. The shop remains a popular spot in the Market, where diners looking for a little slice of Germany can order from the extensive lineup of brilliantly seasoned sausages. The varied selections cover a lot of territory, from Spanish chorizo, spicy Italian and German bratwurst to the exotic South African Boerewors, seasoned with generous amounts of coriander and red wine vinegar. The world tour continues with Louisiana hot links, English Bangers and Polish kielbasa, each available to take home and grill up yourself, or for on-the-spot snacking, topped with coarse grain mustard and curry ketchup. In this casual, snug space, the TV is often tuned to sports and it's not unusual for new friendships to form over a perfect sausage and a beer.

Hello, I have prepared a first draft of 'dynamic SLOT' specification. This is my proposal in attempt to solve the problem of building packages for multiple Python and Ruby versions. It could also be reused for multilib. The spec tries to explain the broad idea, and all problems relevant to it. It also lists a few problems which are still unsolved and I think they will cause the spec to change after hearing your ideas. To be honest, I tried to keep it as simple as possible. Please don't say it doesn't solve all the world problems because it simply won't. I'm attaching a reStructuredText version of the spec. You can view it rendered as a gist[1]. But please keep the replies on the list, rather than forking the gist. [1]:https://gist.github.com/2943774 -- Best regards, Michał Górny
============= Dynamic SLOTs ============= 1. Motivation ------------- There is currently no good way to handle building and installing ebuilds for multi-ABI languages like Perl, Python or Ruby. The Perl modules are bound to a particular Perl version. Since we support having only one Perl version around, this issue will supposedly be solved via ABI_SLOT solution which is not part of this spec. However, we support having multiple Python & Ruby versions installed (via SLOTs). Therefore, we need to have a good solution to support having multiple versions of modules, each one built against respective ABI version. Currently, this problem is worked-around through USE flags. This solution is incomplete and has a few drawbacks including: - necessity of rebuilding *all* package versions when the list of enabled ABIs changes, - dynamically changing IUSE with new Python/Ruby versions being released (supported). The dynamic SLOT solution is supposed to solve these problems through providing a way to: - build multiple package variants (dynamic SLOTs) from the same ebuild, - have those variants installed in parallel, - automatically handle cross-package dynamic SLOT dependencies. 2. Definitions -------------- dynamic SLOT A dynamically assigned, additional SLOT specification for a package, representing ABIs for which it was built. Dynamic SLOT is defined at build-time. A single package may have more than one dynamic SLOT defined. dynamic SLOT variant of a package A single package built against chosen dynamic SLOT specification. 3. Defining supported SLOTs in an ebuild ---------------------------------------- An ebuild supporting building for multiple dynamic SLOTs has to declare the supported slots using ``DYNAMIC_SLOTS`` variable. The variable can be inherited from eclasses. The one-of (``|| ( )``) group can be used in this variable to specify exclusive SLOT groups. For example, an ebuild supporting building for multiple Python ABIs would declare (either explicitly or implicitly through an eclass):: DYNAMIC_SLOTS='|| ( py2.6 py2.7 py3.1 py3.2 )' which would mean that when the package is built, one of the ``pyX.Y`` SLOTs must be used (and only one). An ebuild may also declare multiple dynamic SLOTs to be specified at a time:: DYNAMIC_SLOTS='|| ( py2.6 py2.7 ) || ( lib32 lib64 )' In this case, both one of ``pyX.Y`` and ``libX`` SLOTs need to be declared. 4. Building the ebuild against chosen SLOTs ------------------------------------------- In ``pkg_*`` and ``src_*`` phases, the build environment is provided with currently enabled dynamic SLOTs via ``CURRENT_SLOTS`` array. The ebuild must use the contents of this variable to adjust the build process accordingly which can be done either directly or via an eclass. If multiple ABIs were chosen, they are propagated onto next indices of the array. 5. Relevance to binary and installed packages --------------------------------------------- It is necessary to store the dynamic SLOTs for which a package was built in the binary package and installed package metadata. The exact semantics are left to be implementation-specific. The implementation must ensure, however, that a multiple dynamic SLOT variants of the same package can be installed at the same time. For example, dynamic SLOT could be appended after package version:: dev-python/foo-1.2.3+py2.6 dev-libs/bar-1.0+lib32 6. Installed file collissions ----------------------------- Due to the specifics of dynamic SLOT implementation, it is possible that files installed by various dynamic SLOTs collide. For example, each dynamic SLOT variant of a Python module may install a README file in the same docdir. The ebuilds must ensure that the colliding files are exactly the same in all dynamic SLOT variants of the package. The package manager may either choose to overwrite those files when installing each consecutive dynamic ABI variant of a package, or leave the earlier version. The package must not remove the file unless all of dynamic SLOT variants of the package were unmerged. 7. Inter-package dependencies ----------------------------- If an ebuild supporting dynamic SLOTs depends on another ebuild doing so, the package manager must implicitly depend on matching dynamic SLOT variant of the dependant package. In other words, if ``dev-python/foo`` depends on ``dev-python/bar`` and both of those ebuilds support dynamic SLOTs for Python ABIs, then the package manager must ensure that building ``dev-python/foo`` with ``py2.7`` dynamic SLOT will pull in ``dev-python/bar`` with ``py2.7`` SLOT. 8. User interface ----------------- The choice of dynamic SLOTs for ebuilds whenever not directly caused by implicit dependencies is to be implementation-defined. The package manager should provide an ability to control the default dynamic SLOT choice to external tools like eselect. For example, the default Python SLOT would be controlled by eselect-python. The package manager must provide user with an ability to explicitly choose dynamic SLOT when merging a package and to store such a SLOT specification in the world file. The package manager may support specifying more than a single exclusive dynamic SLOT variants. In this case, the package manager should split the request into merging multiple dynamic SLOT variants of the package. For example, the following call:: emerge dev-python/foo+py2.6+py2.7 may cause the package manager to either reject the request (because of colliding dynamic SLOTs) or build two dynamic SLOT variants of the package. 9. Unsolved problems -------------------- a) Dependencies on package versions with single unsupported dyn. SLOTs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Example: some Python packages support Python 3 while older versions of their dependencies don't. With the current text of the spec, there's no way for package manager to ensure that newer versions will be pulled in due to that. The specification doesn't distinguish between particular kind of dynamic SLOTs being unsupported (i.e. dependency which is not a Python package) and a particular dynamic SLOT being unsupported (dependency not supporting a particular Python version). This is probably to be fixed via introducing global definitions of supported *dynamic SLOT groups* (in ``profiles/``). Then, the packages would be enforced a particular SLOT when it supports at least one SLOT from the group. b) Large common parts of packages supporting dyn. SLOTs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Often packages supporting dynamic SLOTs have large, common parts. In most common case, it is API documentation which gets generated at build time. Supporting multiple dynamic SLOTs would mean that documentation is going to be regenerated for every SLOT (or at least SLOTs supporting documentation generation). This get worse when various versions of the SLOT introduce tiny, irrelevant differences in the generated files. As the spec does disallow installing colliding files with different contents, this has to be handled some other way. Possible solutions: 1. Let each dynamic SLOT install own copy of files (i.e. separate docs for each version), 2. Move the common files into separate ebuild, 3. Introduce a special dynamic SLOT which would install just the common files, and depend on it (requires adding support for explicit dynamic SLOT dependencies). c) Packages installing multiple kinds of dynamic SLOTs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Example: packages installing bindings for multiple languages. The usual way of defining dynamic SLOTs, i.e.:: DYNAMIC_SLOTS='|| ( py2.6 py2.7 ) || ( ruby1.8 ruby1.9 )' would mean that each time both a Python version, and a Ruby version has to be chosen. This would have to be backed up at least with USE flags and it gets more ugly... An interesting solution would be to use a global one-of block like:: DYNAMIC_SLOTS='|| ( py2.6 py2.7 ruby1.8 ruby1.9 )' which would mean that each build involves building just one of the bindings for a particular language of interest. Sadly, this will probably make the eclasses more complex. Another solution would be to simply split the package. .. vim:ft=rst:tw=72:noet

This is the story of Pierre Tradivel, a scientist, and his complex battle against deadly illness, and ex-Nazi war criminal still hiding in the U.S., a crooked insurance company, and a plot to make Pierre and his wife the victims of a bizarre genetic experiment. Frameshift is hard science fiction at its best, full of complications and neat surprises.
©1998 Robert J. Sawyer (P)2012 Audible, Inc.
"Great story, but very emotionally taxing"
I love pretty much all of Robert J. Sawyer's books. I like this optimistic take on the future of humanity, and the way his books usually have a lot of fascinating ideas combined with characters that I really care about. I've read most of his books at least three or four times.
This book was also really good, but I don't think I've ever re-read it after one physical book read and one listen to this audiobook version. It's just too draining to read. The suffering the main character (Pierre Tardivel) goes through is very gripping. It's like what the main character suffers in FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON, but even worse in several ways -- Pierre has a wife and child, his affliction is something that real people go through, he will eventually die from his disorder, etc, I just can't deal with it. Eventually, though, I hope to be able to read this one again, not least because I now do bioinformatics and so a lot of the subject matter will probably be even more interesting to me now.
And I'm glad that I read it through in the first place, too. I highly recommend it to everybody interested in genetics, telepathy, insurance conspiracies, Neanderthals, Nazi hunting, and science fiction in general.
I will listen to NO boring book. Old Fav's,Card, King , Hobb. New Fav's, Hill, Scalzi, Sawyer, Interested in Lansdale, Crouch, Konrath
The great thing about Sawyer is that he never writes a bad book. This is my 11th and some are better then others, but none are boring and none of them do not fail to engage your brain. This book published in 1979, one year after Terminal Experiment, seems a little on the amateurish side when it comes to writing style. The beginning of the book, after the murder attempt, starts out in a Nazi concentration camp. It is interesting stuff and Sawyer does tie it into the rest of the story, but it does seem to be written for sensationalism. It gives the story kind of a jerky motion. There are some moments that seem a little beyond believe in the eyes of the listener. There is one big moment that is crucial to the rest of the story, where my inner voice said, "That's stupid, they would not do that." the reason given is money. It is a poor excuse and the plot lies heavily on it.
The story has lots of genetics, Nazi's and opinions. The kind of stuff that Sawyer always has in his books and the kind of stuff I love. Sawyer is never afraid to let his opinion known and often takes lots of grief over it. In this book he gets pretty preachy. I like an author who takes a stand, even when I don't agree and sometimes he takes the less politically correct stand, which has probably hurt his book sales.
My favorite Sawyer is Illegal Alien, followed by The Terminal Experiment and then by Flash Forward. You may want to skip Red Planet Blues and W.W.W. Wake.
"Montreal NOT Paris"
Please. Please ! PLEASE redo the narrative with a Quebec French accent instead of the Parisian French accent !The narrator's portrayal of Montrealer, Pierre Tardivel, with a European French accent was distracting to the point of irritation.
Otherwise, the story and its telling were both reasonably well done.
This punch at hard sci-fi probably won't ring anyone's bell, but it feels like R.J. Sawyer is at least trying to go beyond the comfort zone he established with the Neanderthal Parallax trilogy.
"Not my favorite Sawyer~"
Frameshift seems to diverge from Robert Sawyers other novels. It is a good book, but my least favorite of his novels. Parts of it were exceptional but it seemed to skip around a lot and took too long to tie the story lines together. I almost gave up about 2 1/2 hrs into it...but because it was Sawyer I stuck with it. The the last 3rd is pretty good and deals with similar subject matter as many of his other novels. Probably will not listen more than once. Good but not Great!
"Shift gears"
As in more books of sawyer there is the critical note of a Canadian towards the USA. As European I do understand where he comes from. As part of the story, the US private health insurance system is under fire. Additionally there are some more story lines to make this listen really juicy
The point where the parents figure out the origin of their daughter Amanda.
If this does not make you think you have missed the point
"A good read with excellent naration"
When I started reading this book I thought it wasn't going to be up to Robert J Sawyer's usual standards as it seemed a bit slow to get going. In retrospect, however, the start of the book was absolutely on target as the characters needed to be established and understood before the story plot was developed. This book deals with genetics amongst other issues and as is usual with Robert Sawyer, it had me thinking a lot about genetics and the role they play in society. It is a well-written book and the naration was absolutely outstanding.
"This is a cool author"
Having read www trilogy a year ago I was looking for something else to hear from Sawyer. This was worth the listen! I do like the slightly socialist Canadian slant on things. The French Canadian leading man was likeable and seemed to be quite real. I liked his tie shift technique and the science was sufficient to be interesting without being tedious. So all in all I think this is an intelligent, thoughtful and worth while listen.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Sylvia has not received any gifts yet
Thanks for the friend invite. Glad to know you.
Thanks bunches! =)
Thanks for adding me, Sylvia! I'm always happy to find rational friends :)
Hey there Sylvia!
So glad to have you in Texas Heathens!
I enjoy reading all your posts on the site.
So glad you enjoy it here.
Welcome aboard! =) Hope all is well with you today...
Hi, Sylvia! Thanks for the friend invite. Feel free to look at my page.
I was raised without religion, as was my Mom, so I don't have a lot of religion in my family. I 'tried' catholicism for my husbands' sake when the kids were little, and after my daughters first-first communion class, she was 7, and I said "What did you think?", and she said "That jesus-thing sounds like a myth to me." LOL End of that!!!
I have let a couple of friendships fade away because I really can't handle the born-again, evangelical thing. And I absolutely hate how people here in Northern IL (and I'm sure everywhere), just talk about 'god' like there is one for sure, and you believe it as well. UGH. I'm 45 and it didn't used to bother me, but now it bothers me A LOT! So my social life has gotten smaller. And I don't care! :) It's nice to come here and tell your stories because everyone usually agrees with what you're fed-up about! ~ Melinda
You are welcome Sylvia, and you will find almost everyone here welcoming and nice. You are right, we all learn from each other. I am lucky to have many Atheists in my 'real' life, including 2 that I raised! My daughter 20, and my son 18. I converted my husband, lol.
My only first-cousin lives in Houston. She is VERY religious and VERY right-wing, and we don't have much in common! We keep in touch through e-mail, but I keep it light.
See you around the site!~ Melinda

Watch Arcade Fire cover The Smiths
Arcade Fire covered The Smiths' "London" during their second show at London's Earls Court on Saturday night [June 7].
The band played the track during Saturday's show, which saw the band supported by Lorde. On the previous night's performance the band were joined by Ian McCulloch to perform the Echo And The Bunnymen track 'The Cutter'.
During the Friday night gig Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler spoke about the band's reasons for playing the venue, commenting: "We wanted to do Earls Court before they tear it down for condos. Get your bids in now. Hope they're cheap." In 2012 an online petition was launched to 'save' the venue, opposing plans to demolish the centre as part of redevelopment plans for the area.
Before Arcade Fire took to the stage last night the arena was transformed into a giant discotheque - featuring spotlights and glitter balls. The 'fake' Reflektors band played a cover of The Beatles 'Helter Skelter' on a second stage in the venue during the evening. As well as headlining this year's Glastonbury Festival, Arcade Fire will also play a huge show at Hyde Park on July 3.
Arcade Fire played:
'Flashbulb Eyes'
'Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)'
'Rebellion (Lies)'
'Joan Of Arc'
'Month of May'
'We Exist'
'The Suburbs'/'The Suburbs (contd)''
'Ready to Start'
'Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)'
'Intervention/'Antichrist Television Blues''
'No Cars Go'
'It's Never Over (Oh Orpheus)'
'Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)'
'Normal Person'
'Here Comes the Night Time'
'Wake Up'

- 1.25 cup(s) coarsely chopped walnuts, divided
- 1.5 cup(s) white whole-wheat flour (see Tips & Techniques)
- 1/2 cup(s) barley flour (see Tips & Techniques)
- 2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
- 1 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon(s) ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup(s) packed dark or light brown sugar
- 2/3 cup(s) low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoon(s) freshly grated orange zest
- 1/2 cup(s) orange juice
- 1/4 cup(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup(s) orange juice
- 1/4 cup(s) packed dark or light brown sugar
- 1 small strip orange zest (1-by-1-inch)
- 2 whole(s) cloves
- To prepare cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat an 8-inch-square glass baking dish with cooking spray and dust it with flour, shaking out the excess.
- Spread walnuts on a baking sheet and toast, stirring once halfway, until fragrant, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 325°.
- Whisk whole-wheat flour (see measuring tip), barley flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk eggs and brown sugar in a medium bowl until thoroughly blended. Combine yogurt with orange zest and juice in a small bowl and stir until smooth; gradually whisk into the egg mixture along with oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in 2 additions, stirring well in between until just blended. Fold in 1 cup of the walnuts. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake the cake until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
- To prepare syrup: Meanwhile, combine 1/3 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, orange zest strip, and cloves in a small heavy saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring a few times. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer and cook until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes (you will have a scant 1/3 cup); remove the zest and cloves. Let cool.
- When the cake is done, transfer the pan to a wire rack. Using a toothpick, pierce the top in about 18 places and brush the syrup over the cake 3 or 4 times, allowing it to seep in each time. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup walnuts and let cool for 30 minutes; loosen the edges with a knife; cut into 12 squares. Enjoy warm or room temperature.

Tips & Techniques
Ingredient notes: Barley flour has a mild yet distinct flavor, which some describe as slightly sweet and malty. Barley is high in fiber and has a low glycemic index. Look for it in the natural-foods section of large supermarkets or at natural-foods stores; it's often available in bulk. Store in the freezer. White whole-wheat flour, made from a special variety of white wheat, is light in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole-wheat flour. It is available in large supermarkets and at natural-foods stores. (Or find it online from bobsredmill.com or kingarthurflour.com.) Store it in the freezer.
Measuring tip: We use the "spoon and level" method to measure flours. Here's how it is done: Use a spoon to lightly scoop flour from its container into a measuring cup. Use a knife or other straight edge to level the flour with the top of the measuring cup.

An article about a new CJR survey of practices at magazine Web sites that was published in the March/April issue of the magazine appears here. Click here to view the full report, containing complete results and a description of the survey methodology.
Speaking as a card-carrying member of the old media, it has been my observation that virtually every magazine (old media) now has a Web site (new media, a.k.a. digital media), and that the proprietors of these sites don't, for the most part, know what one another are doing; that there are no generally accepted standards and practices; that each magazine's Web site is making it up as it goes along; that, as CJR put it in our proposal to the MacArthur foundation (which funded this survey), it is like the Wild West out there.
For example, who makes the final decisions about what goes on the site, the editor of the magazine or, if there is one, the Web editor? Are Web sites fact-checked and copy-edited, if at all, with the same care as their parent magazines? On the business side, how much material is free, and how much is behind a paywall? What about archives—are they marketed, monetized, and curated in ways that differ from current content?
The idea was to conduct a survey, publish the results for all to see, and try to identify best (and worst) practices. And to see if, at a moment when the future of journalism in general and magazines in particular is thought to be in doubt, anything we learned could help fix a business model said to be broken, not to mention improve the flow of information on which our democratic society is predicated.
I'm not going to bore you here with our methodology, the validity of our sample and such, other than to say that after signing on Evan Lerner, home-page editor of Seedmagazine.com, as project director, and Danielle Haas, a member of Columbia's Communications Ph.D. program, as a research assistant, we recruited a board of advisers and retained a professional survey research firm. After conducting a series of interviews with industry specialists and old- and new-media experts, some of whom are quoted here, we worked up a questionnaire that our survey research firm administered.
Assuring anonymity and offering a year's subscription to CJR as an incentive, we ended up with 665 responses from a sample of about three thousand consumer magazines (including weeklies, biweeklies, monthlies, and quarterlies, with circulations large and small). A full description of those demographics and the survey process—as well as a report detailing the responses we received on advertising techniques, archiving practices, content-management systems, traffic analysis tools, and many other topics not covered here—may be found here. And the full survey questionnaire and tabulated answers for all questions asked are available there as well.
Although many of our findings might seem predictable (e.g., that Web site missions are "evolving," that many sites are unprofitable, that advertising is by far the largest revenue source), many are not, and in any case, to see them documented can be sobering, and in some cases depressing.
For example:
- • 59 percent of those surveyed said that either there was no copy editing whatsoever online (11 percent), or that copy editing is less rigorous than in the print edition.
- • 40 percent said that when Web editors, as opposed to print editors, are in charge of content decisions, fact-checking is less rigorous (17 percent said there was no fact-checking online when Web editors made the content decisions).
- • 54 percent said that when errors were eventually pointed out, on sites where the Web editor made content decisions the errors were corrected, but without any indication to the reader that there had been an error in the first place.
And that's taking respondents at their word!
Does this mean that Web people care less about traditional journalistic standards than print people? Well, let's put it this way: in the online world, speed is the name of the game. Web sites are interested in maximizing traffic on the theory that that's the way to attract advertisers, and quantity often trumps quality when it comes to that. Thus, given the prevailing business model (advertising is still king), the question arises: Is online content, with its rapid turnaround requirements, held to the same standards as its print equivalents? Survey says no! We conclude that while Web people don't always favor speed over accuracy or elegance of style, they nevertheless seem to factor speed (i.e., who is first with the news, or the controversial views, as the case may be) into the equation in a way that tends to undermine traditional journalistic standards.

Swinging Mademoiselles: Groovy French Sounds From The 60s By Paul-Emile Comeau Published October 28, 2005 Silva America SIL-CD-1191
Throughout much of the '60s France was a bastion of youth culture, Parisian teenagers being especially enamored of Anglo-Saxon pop culture. Les années yé-yé, as the era came to be called, produced uniquely French takes on Ango-American pop music. Some of the era's chanteuses (laced with mascara and endowed with sultry voices) became stars but such big names as Francoise Hardy and Sylvie Vartan don't show up on Swinging Mademoiselles. Instead we get 18 tracks of sunny pop and light psychedelia by 14 mostly obscure singers, including Elizabeth, Clothilde, Cosette, Olivia, and Stella, to name only those who went by their first names. These unabashedly cool songs would fit well on a soundtrack for a hypothetical Gallic Austin Powers. Although these are mostly original compositions, a few tracks can trace their origin to English songs. While Jacqueline Taieb's "7 Heures du Matin," the opening track, only references the Who's "My Generation," two others are French adaptations of Petula Clark's "Call Me" and Lulu's "I'm A Tiger." This is part of the missing musical link between Carnaby Street and Champs Elysée.

I bought a 4-pack of daylight compact fluorescent bulbs from Home Depot. Info on the packaging:
60 watt equivalent 800 light output in lumens 14 energy used in watts 10,000 life in hours My question is: Are these bulbs also UVB-bulbs? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Daylight means the color temperature is near 5000K and has nothing to do with UV output. |

If you want a bulb that emits UV, you have to buy a special one for the purpose, like a reptile lamp. |

Creatinine - urine
Creatinine - urine
Creatinine is a breakdown product of creatine, which is an important part of muscle. Creatinine is removed from the body entirely by the kidneys. This article discusses the test done to measure the amount of creatinine in your urine.
A blood test can also be used to determine your creatinine level. See: Serum creatinine
Alternative Names
Urine creatinine test
How the test is performed
A random urine sample or a 24-hour collection may used. For information on how to collect a 24-hour urine sample, see: 24-hour urine collection.
How to prepare for the test
Your health care provider may tell you to temporarily stop taking certain medicines that may interfere with test results. Such medicines include:
- Cephalosporins (cefoxitin)
- Cimetidine
- Cisplatin
- Gentamicin
- Trimethoprim
How the test will feel
The test involves only normal urination, and there is no discomfort.
Why the test is performed
This test can be used as a screening test to evaluate kidney function. It may also be used as part of the creatinine clearance test. It is often used to provide information on other chemicals in the urine such as albumin or protein.
Normal Values
Urine creatinine (24-hour sample) values can range from 500 to 2000 mg/day. Results depend greatly on your age and amount of lean body mass.
Another way of expressing the normal range for these test results are:
- 14 to 26 mg per kg of body mass per day for men
- 11 to 20 mg per kg of body mass per day for women
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal results of urine creatinine are nonspecific, but may be due to any of the following conditions:
- Glomerulonephritis
- High meat diet
- Kidney infection (pyelonephritis)
- Kidney failure
- Muscular dystrophy (late stage)
- Myasthenia gravis
- Prerenal azotemia
- Reduced kidney blood flow (as in shock or congestive heart failure)
- Rhabdomyolysis
- Urinary tract obstruction

Is this real life? After nonchalantly warning that Adrian Gonzalez's passage through waivers did not yet signify a move would take place, it seems the Dodgers were intent on completely overhauling their club. Various reports from innumerable sources suggest the Dodgers are set to acquire not only Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Nick Punto and Josh Beckett in exchange for a package of players including James Loney, recent Tommy John patient Rubby De La Rosa, 1B/DH prospect Jerry Sands, outfielder Ivan DeJesus and pitching prospect Allen Webster.
If the Red Sox aren't kicking in any cash to help this massive deal go through, the Dodgers assume more than $250 million in salary. The bulk is owed to Gonzalez ($127 million through 2018) and Crawford ($103 million through 2017), with both players just completing the second year of their long-term deals. Josh Beckett nets a mere $32 million in the next two seasons. Chump change, really.
The Dodgers new ownership promised they would spend to contend but this…this is something else all together. Benny Fresh of MLBTB suggests this deal won't be completed tonight but it looks like it is a go. Wow. Wow wow wow wow.
Said it before, say it again. Since 1959 there has been no reason for the Dodgers not to behave like the Yankees of the West. Starts now.
— Kevin Goldstein (@Kevin_Goldstein) August 24, 2012
Where to begin? The Red Sox, under new General Manger Ben Cherington, are pounding on the reset switch like the computer returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown in Madden. With so much money coming off the books, the Red Sox are poised to either dive directly back into the free agent market for just about anything; or they can go a similar route to the Dodgers and assume somebody else's expensive mistake.
The Dodgers get better IMMEDIATELY thanks to the significant upgrade represented by Gonzalez versus Loney. As for their future? They just assumed a quarter billion dollars of tremendous risk. As noted earlier today, Gonzalez is a durable slugger who will end up overpaid but, in this world, who isn't?
Carl Crawford is a one hundred million dollar wildcard. Currently staring down the barrel of six months worth of rehab after Tommy John surgery, Crawford battled injury and ineffectiveness since joining the Red Sox. Crawford was a legit 5 WAR star for the first six years of his career, the Dodgers believe he will return to those levels (or close to them) after his elbow heals.
Josh Beckett might benefit from pitching in a much friendly ballpark in front of a less hostile media horde but it ain't gonna put 3 mph back onto his fastball. If Beckett gets back to where he was, he becomes the second best pitcher on the club. If not…well Dodger Stadium has a funny way of keeping aging/declining pitchers around.
Nick Punto is also a professional baseball player included in this deal. For this he should be commended.
The Red Sox get one of the worst everyday first basemen of the modern era, a live armed reliever/starter in De La Rosa, a decent prospect in Webster (though not the Dodgers top arm Zach Lee) and other things. They also get to spend all the 2011 money — the incredible outlay of that made them consensus World Series favorites before the season — all over again, should they see fit.
If anyone can think of a comparable situation in baseball, in any sport, in recent history, feel free to share. The details are not yet set in stone but this deal…as currently constructed…this is surreal. Any contract can be moved. No deal is a team killer. The Dodgers have already completely changed the face of the baseball marketplace as we know it and the offseason hasn't even started yet. The Red Sox essentially get a complete re-do on their massive 2011 spending spree. Whoa boy. Got a butt? Better hold onto it.

Reversing deep sales declines is key to Kmart's long-term survival and perpetuating profits, and the door to the future is at 111 Eighth Avenue here, where the retailer quickly established design group offices for proprietary apparel and home merchandise.
Carving out a stronger niche for its own brands is an uphill battle for Kmart, considering the hunt for exclusive merchandise has become rampant across all retail formats, from department stores like Bloomingdale's, J.C. Penney and Saks Fifth Avenue to mass chains like Wal-Mart, Target and Kohl's.
Kmart's design office, opened last March, is led by former Gap executive Lisa Schultz, Kmart's senior vice president and chief creative officer, who works closely with John Goodman, Kmart's senior vice president and chief apparel and home officer. Goodman, also a former Gap executive, is based out of Kmart's Troy, Mich., headquarters.
In exclusive interviews, they explained they're re-engineering Kmart's proprietary fashion and home businesses, applying what they learned from specialty retailing to the mass channel, and that the upcoming fall season marks a turning point.
"We have really revamped the entire assortment," said Goodman, who joined Kmart in January and formerly ran Gap Inc.'s outlet operation and earlier was a Bloomingdale's women's buyer. "Every brand was looked at from the point of view of age appeal, design and styling."
According to market sources, Kmart fashion — women's, men's, kids, accessories and jewelry combined — is a $5 billion-plus business that has lost momentum and volume, at least $2 billion worth, due to the bankruptcy, store closings, years of not having fashion direction or point of view and trying to sell scratchy, low-grade merchandise.
Kmart, currently about a $20 billion business in total, posted profits of $93 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 and $276 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, but the profits primarily stemmed from overhead reductions and cleaner inventories, not from selling more merchandise. The company has been plagued by double-digit sales declines.

It can be at any of the parks which are you choosing? For me I thought about Mr. Toad but since I can see that at Disneyland(which I do have to get to) I would pick World of Motion. Don't get me wrong I love Test Track. But I loved the story, narration and music. And the AA's were so funny and whimsical.

Split Seconds
Split Seconds debut EP was released today to much anticipation, the bell was fortunate enough to chat to lead singer Sean Pollard about the new record...
There is something classically Australian about the way Pollard crafts his lyrics. Almost as if he is letting us be a part of a moment in time, his subtle storytelling reminiscent of artist's such as Paul Kelly and Gareth Liddiard.
"It's something you can do when you're Australian, you can focus on the lyrics because the accent does stand out a bit. It's about giving the listener some idea of what's going on without making it too obvious…It's a hard line to follow but once you get it it's pretty cool."
All it takes is one listen of the EP to realize that Split Seconds definitely have it.
A bittersweet nostalgia is prevalent throughout the record, a sound realized as Pollard spent time living in London, working at the infamous rehab centre The Priory.
"London's obviously a very different place from Perth… so there was definitely that element of homesickness. Some of the songs are a little glum...maybe the London life got to me a little bit."
As a whole Split Second's debut EP lends itself to be considered as a mini-album in many ways.
"All six songs come together in one feel…It kind of felt like a couple of years of my life put into one succinct statement. When I'm fifty years old I'll be able to listen to it and go that's where I was then."
The success of Split Seconds can also be attributed to their collaborative nature as a band.
As Sean relates, "everyone can contribute on anything - on drums, guitar or bass ... It's a good way to do it because people when just pitch in when you need to. It was just whatever the song needed we would try and find somewhere."
Elizabeth is almost haunting in sound as distant bells ring throughout the track.
"the bells were from the Angels…this eighties record that my dad had, we just put it on and recorded it from behind the wall…it sounded like it was a million years away."
Less romantic but nevertheless effective was the featured percussion of What a Week – a large recycling bin.
"We wheeled that into the studio and kind of closed the lid a couple of times, cut it up a little bit and that ended up as the percussion base on that track which is pretty interesting."
Simply said Split Seconds are a talented group of musicians, however so too are they vocalists. Their harmonies, of at times up to five parts, have almost become a trademark of Split Seconds. Bed Down being the perfect example.
When I ask Pollard what has been the most rewarding aspect of producing the EP he is amiably modest in response, characteristic of his down to earth nature.
"Just having people hear it now is cool, hopefully getting something out of it. That's really humbling as well. You often make these things thinking you'll be the only one who hears them - so it's good to know people are listening."
Split Seconds is definitely worth getting your hands on, buy the full EP from Itunes or order a copy from JB/any other reliable music store.
