How can I find which chipset is used? Is that the chipset used in Hauppage cards?
- 06-06-2005 #4Originally Posted by groovygroundhog
I decided that the problem might be the tuner, which didn't seem to be supported. Some Hauppage cards use the Connexant chipset. IMHO the best bet (and this is just from reading other threads) would be to get a Pinnacle card. Support for that is built into some kernels.I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso

Yeah, Hauppage stopped using the bttv chipset about two years ago. If you can find a used one somewhere, pick it up. Otherwise, I'd stick with a know bttv vender, such as Kworld or Pinnacle.
If you're still in doubt, pick out a card and then google for the specific card model number followed by Linux.

Stop for speeding
nets DUI citation
WAITSFIELD A Warren man, who state police claim was speeding down Route 100 in a 40-year-old Volkswagen late Saturday night, is expected to be charged with driving under the influence when he is arraigned next month in Barre.
Police say they pulled over a 1973 Volkswagen Karmann operated by 64-year-old David Campanelli at approximately 11 p.m. Saturday. Campanelli, police allege, had been driving in excess of the posted speed limit.
During the course of the traffic stop, police arrested Campanelli for suspicion of driving under the influence. He was later released on a citation to appear at the criminal courthouse in Barre on Nov. 7. He is expected to be charged at that time.MORE IN This Just InTwo people were killed in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 91, one of several accidents on...

After complaining a couple of weeks ago about my roses "just sitting there", they are doing the opposite. They are setting on gobs of buds. I haven't done anything but applying Mills Rose Magic in the early spring and fertilizing after the first bloom cycle. The change in the weather would have to be the reason. I was a little concerned about my Tiffanys, but they have begun to set on new buds, even JFK, which I wasn't expecting at all. It even looks like most of my old garden roses are going to bloom again soon, I wasn't sure what to expect with them. I hope I don't come across as being boastful, because I don't take credit at all. I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing dramatic changes for the better with your roses? |

After a terrible spring (hard freeze), everything that wasn't killed is really coming back and looking good. Especially my OGR's, mini's and minifloras and a couple of HT's have gone crazy (Gemini, Let Freedom Ring, Dark Night and Remember Me). |
Ken - Glad to know that your roses are doing good. Would love to see pictures when they bloom. I love it when my roses surprise me in a good way. |
Great to hear sara Ann and ken! Things going good here! We are actually still in our first flushes for the season... |

Food additives include:
- Artificial colorings and flavorings
- Antioxidants
- Preservatives
- Emulsifiers
- Sweeteners
- Flavor enhancers
Food Additive Intolerance Symptoms
Some reactions to additives may be similar to food-allergic reactions such as hives and swelling while other symptoms include:
- Flushing
- Headaches
- Chest discomfort
- Asthma
There are few studies on food additive reactions, but they are estimated to be quite rare (under one percent in adults). Among people with allergies, the occurrence can range from 2 to 7 percent.
There are thousands of additives, yet a relatively small number seem to cause reactions, including:
- MSG, associated with headaches
- Sulfites, which can prompt asthma people with sulfite sensitivity
- Red (carmine) and yellow (annatto) food coloring, which have been linked to anaphylaxis (a serious reaction that occurs rapidly and may cause death); and
- Nitrates, which have reportedly caused hives and itching.
Food Additive Intolerance Diagnosis
Food additive intolerance may be suspected if you have reactions to unrelated foods. Diagnosis can be difficult, because skin tests routinely used in food allergy diagnosis may only be helpful when considering natural, not synthetic additives. There are no allergy tests specifically for food additive intolerance.
Your allergist may ask you to:
- Avoid certain additives for several weeks to determine the cause of your reactions.
- Make a complete list of everything you eat and note if you have a reaction.
- Take a blinded, placebo-controlled oral food challenge to confirm that food additives are causing your reaction. You will be given a series of foods that may or may not contain the additive suspected of causing your reaction.
Food Additive Intolerance Management and Treatment
If you have been diagnosed with food additive intolerance:
- Avoid the offending ingredient.
- Read ingredient labels carefully.
- Be aware that the ingredient may be "hidden" in a food product under terms such as "flavors" or "spices."
- Contact the manufacturer if you have questions.
- If you cannot be certain of the ingredients, avoid eating that food.
- If your allergist prescribes an epinephrine auto-injector, carry it with you at all times. Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis.

Do you mean the white spots on the leaf? If so, possibly powdery mildew. But can't see enough detail to be certain. |
An epiphyte is a non parasitic plant that grows on another plant, a vine that grows up a tree without using nutrients from the tree or causing the death of the tree. It can be difficult to identify some of these from just one picture of a leaf, while others are very easily identified. |
Yes, I know that. But don't know if OP did. Always helps to have at least a branch, better yet accompanied by an image of the plant in situ. edit: Ivy? |

branch image. It is not an ivy I know, but this property has a lot of plants I have never seen. this plant likes the elm, the hickory and the Magnolia and avoids all of the rest. and that is several acres of trees! There is a lot of ivy on the property, but it does not seem so particular. |

I'd guess Hedera helix, from seeing so little of it, if it's possible to have mature plants in PA. The leaves morph to that shape, flowers appear. |
- Posted by Messymarsy2 none (My Page) on Sat, Aug 10, 13 at 15:58
thank you that is what it is. I would say it is mature it goes 40 ft up the tree.I tried cutting the stems to no avail, I think it is singing the swan song for the magnolia |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Sat, Aug 10, 13 at 17:37
Sorry to hear that! In terms of English ivy, mature means when the leaves change shape and it makes flowers/berries. |

My husband got the ivy off of two trees in our yard. He used clippers, big loppers, and a screwdriver. It took him about 8 hours to do the two trees, but it can be done. You only have to sever the main stem, and then the stuff on the trees will die. It looked weird for a couple of years, and then what was left of the vines that went to the top of the trees finally fell off. It's worth the effort, if only to stop the baby ivies that will show up your yard when the birds eat the berries. |
Ivy isn't an epiphyte. It simply uses the tree for support. Ivy isn't a parasite. It doesn't suck the life out of another plant. Ivy can kill another plant by shading it out or by toppling it with the excess weight. Don't know what you did when you cut it. The above ground part will take a while to die but, in the meantime it is only clinging to the tree rather than damaging it. |
Ivy, Hedera helix, fits all of the criteria to be an epiphyte. a broad definition of an epiphyte is any plant that grows on another but does not depend on the host plant for water of nutrients. A less broad definition would include only tropical such as orchids. |
Epiphytes don't have roots in soil. Epiphytes gain the nutrient elements from rainfall as well as poops (such as bird & insect yuck) and decomposing organic matter( leaf litter). Rainfall washes all that past the epiphyte's roots. Examples of epiphytes, also called air plants, are some ferns, some bromeliads and some tropical orchids. |
Really old definitions of epiphytes did limit them to that but today most people include any plant that uses another for support but not nutrients. |

The Beginnings of a Sea Change
Posted: March 8, 2013 Filed under: Education, Science, Teachers & Teaching | Tags: africa, architecture, climate, education, floating schools of makoko, global climate change, lagos, makoko, nigeria, schools Comments OffIn an area of Nigeria that is "as densely populated as Paris" but contains only one primary school, innovative architecture aims to make education available to all.
In the water community of Makoko just off the coast of Lagos, Nigeria, an exciting new project attempts to turn the tide of limited education and unstable infrastructure. Though the Makoko's population is soaring, a lack of well-constructed buildings means that the community houses only one primary school to serve its approx. 86,000 residents.
Why the lack or solid infrastructure? It's because the islands of Lagos amongst which the fishing village resides are vastly covered in water. Residents of Makoko have for years built their homes atop stilts embedded deep in the seabed. Now a team of architects led by native Nigerian Kunle Adayemi will update that idea in order to build schools that will not only withstand the rigors of West Africa's current climate, but hopefully also for many years to come.
As pictured above, the increase in rainfall and rising sea levels Lagos has experienced over time, due to global climate change, renders the local Makoko housing unsuitable. Adayemi's solution is to create a completely free-floating building—one unchanged by any rise or fall in water levels. He and his team have also worked to make sure the new schoolhouses will be eco-friendly and space efficient to boot:
Adayemi is hopeful that the design will help more than just the people of Makoko: "The building can be adapted for other uses, such as homes or hospitals. Ultimately, it's a vision that can be used to sustainably develop [African] coastal communities." But of course, such an inspirational story is inevitably accompanied by typical political woes; the government of Lagos is reluctant to encourage the expansion of a water-based community. Just in July of last year, "Nigerian government officials destroyed dozens of residences after giving residents 72 hours' notice of eviction," an act that resulted in the death of one Makoko resident. The reality Adayemi faces—one greater than the threat posed by natural disasters—is that this mere slum (for lack of a better description) occupies prime waterfront, a commodity the politicians of Lagos won't readily relinquish.
Thus the project, while furthering the possibilities of architecture, science, and education, faces its biggest opposition in near-sighted bureaucracy: a reminder that advancing education in Africa is never as simple a task it seems on its glass-like surface.
For more on this amazing project, head to the Guardian. Its article contains an interesting video that provides a bit of visual insight into life on the waters of Makoko.
Digital Learning Day Brings Technology into the Classroom
Posted: February 8, 2013 Filed under: Education, Teachers & Teaching | Tags: digital learning day, education, iPads, librarians, teachers, Teaching, technology, technology in the classroom Comments OffYesterday marked the second annual celebration of "Digital Learning Day," the culmination of a year-long focus to utilize the power of technology in more classrooms nationwide. But we're not just talking about throwing iPads into classrooms in the hopes of engaging students' short attention spans. No, the ideas employed in classrooms and libraries around the world yesterday were far more innovative than that. Here's how a handful of educators around the country took Digital Learning Day and ran with it, as reported by School Library Journal:
- Over at New Canaan High School, CT, library department chair Michelle Luhtala is asking students and faculty to download an eBook to their mobile devices, and setting up a support desk to help to anyone who needs it.
- At Murray Hill Middle School in Laurel, MD, Gwyneth Jones is tying Digital Learning Day into the school's celebration of National History Day with custom QR codes on history displays throughout the library with the phrase: "I DARE you to Scan this Code!" Digitally-savvy history buffs will be sent to an infographic on how to get the most out of the Library of Congress.
- Digital Learning Day also happens to coincide with a project students are working on at Charlotte Country Day Middle School, NC—creating five-minute films about a topic in Ancient Roman culture. The kids are editing the pieces on Windows Movie Maker, and faculty will be awarding film prizes like the Oscars, but aptly called "the Caesars."
Looking at the ideas of some institutions since the advent of portable learning tools like the iPad, it seems like some view technology in the classroom as having the innate capability to help kids learn, without the introduction of any out-of-the-box ideas. Some seem to think that just the presence of technology in the classroom heightens learning, the way fire radiates warmth. While I don't believe in that style of teaching, I do think that technology in the classroom is a positive thing when educators harness their students' ease with digital devices and use it in new ways that introduce fun to the learning environment.
Students often gravitate easily to these objects from laptops to tablets, e-readers to smartphones, plus they tend to be savvy users of online databases and web-based learning apps. But marrying these tools effectively into student learning—linking the fun to the educational element—is where many librarians and educators are focused today.
What say you? Do you use technology in the classroom, and if so, how? What are some creative ways to celebrate digital learning day, year-round? Is technology in the classroom stimulating, or distracting? We'd love to hear your thoughts in a comment!
How College Is Like That Juicy Hamburger You Just Don't Want to End
Posted: January 25, 2013 Filed under: College Students, Education, High School Students | Tags: college, college students, education, end of college, graduation, students, university, university students 1 CommentJust come with us on this one…
eNotes' intern offers more advice on how to savor college and prep for the real world, which in foodie-terms can only be likened to that salad bar at the Souplantation–a bottomless pit of just "meh." So, now that we've livened your spirits…
Picture this. You're at a restaurant, and it's around 3 or 4 o'clock. You woke up late and didn't have time to grab any breakfast, and you had class for a couple straight hours without a break. Essentially, you've gone all day without a single bite of food, and MAN you're hungry. So hungry, in fact, that the moment the waiter brings you whatever it is you've ordered (probably something with french fries), you praise him for his good deed, nearly yank it from his hands, and devour the entire meal before you even realize it's happening. The next time you look at your plate, you realize it's just you and a couple crumbs left. You aren't even sure what you just ate.
Now, I didn't just use this example because this is my life on a near regular basis… I used it because it's really applicable! Watch me go, I promise, this is totally going to resonate.
That hamburger and french fries you just savagely took down in 2 minutes flat—that's college (Oh my GOODNESS, what is that you say?). Chances are, you (you near graduate, you) feel like college "whoosh"ed past you in 2 minutes flat, or something close to that. You're looking back at all those fragments of memories and experiences, and probably freaking out a little bit. Okay, maybe a lot-a-bit. I know I've spent the past couple nights rehearsing lines like these: "where'd all the time go?" and "I can't believe it" and maybe some "…" (that's just some silent wall-staring).
Fret no more, fellow sorry souls. We're all in this together. We're going to make it through. We're going to savor all the best things about college while we still can. For those of you who aren't as close to the end of the plank as us, pay heed to this list of top 10 things that are awesome about college (and maybe try to chew a little slower).
- When someone asks you what you're doing with your life, you are allowed to answer "I'm a student," and just like that, the "I now have to tell a stranger I have no idea what I'm doing with my life and I'm unemployed" conversational crisis is averted. Seriously, just like that. Enjoy this. Even if you have to awkwardly linger around people until they ask you that question, just do it.
- You essentially live in a weird village full of likeminded, crazy 18-22 year olds, and you're friends with a ton of them- this is something that could only be crafted by a spirit above. Seriously…you live surrounded by your friends. Surrounded. This will likely never happen again in your life. Ever. Go hang out with your neighbors (and by neighbors I mean those that live: next door, across the street, down the street, and anywhere from 1-10 blocks away from you).
- This weird village you live in has its own set of moral codes and ethics. Close to 50% of the things you do in the little microcosm of a world that is your college town will never be accepted outside of that bubble. Revel in it.
- On the same vein, once you graduate, you will no longer be able to recount events of the past night or week and shrug it off with a smirk and the words, "college, man." Self explanatory.
- The opportunities your university provides for you are endless. Clubs, events, speakers, concerts, special lectures, counselors, employment- the list goes on and on. You should participate as much as you can and take advantage of it all. Don't be lazy, you'll miss out on a lot of experiences you won't be able to get anywhere else.
- You can cook like you're a survivor on the series Lost, and no one will judge you. Pre-packaged foods, a microwave…who needs a stove or forks or knives? I mean, even if you wanted to have a dinner party, Trader Joes has some frozen meals that serve at least four people. You're all set! Once you leave college, people actually may start expecting you to use fresh ingredients and things like spices (not the kind that comes inside your top ramen package—mmm, MSG). Eat as many microwavable chicken nuggets and taquitos as you can, while you still can.
- You get to learn the things you want to learn about. I know everyone complains about school because of all the work and studying and blah, blah, blah. But we all know, deep down, we like it at least a little bit. The fact that we get to fill our brains with new information on a daily basis, and that that information may lead us in one direction or other, building our interests and leading us to new ones…that's just awesome. You know it, I know it. We just don't like to really admit it all the time. College students are stubborn.
- You can wear sweatpants whenever you want because your day job isn't really a job at all. Your job is to sit in a lecture and try to stay awake while learning things. Nowhere in that description are the words "business casual." Pajamas are only pajamas if you're in bed and sleeping- otherwise, they're just clothes. Think about that.
- You're allowed to dabble in things without being talked about as if you're a lost soul searching for your way. Hey, it's college. You're encouraged to try new things, regardless of what they are. Literally, you can do anything and people (essentially by law) have to just nod and say, "that's what college is for," and they're right. So explore, a lot, and do the weirdest things you can possibly think of because you never know what'll stick. Soon it'll be too late and your dreams of being a figure skater will be looked at a little more critically (Not that that should hinder you. You should always chase your dreams, even if people laugh at you, or think you're nuts. I'm just saying, take advantage of the head start college is intended to give you).
- You are told, around three times a year, that you must stop doing schoolwork and instead, "relax." Winter break, spring break, and summer vacation are some of the best inventions that have ever been created in the history of the world. Fire, the wheel—they pale in comparison. It's mandated, enforced relaxation. This will most likely never be permitted at any other time in your life.
Good luck.
If all else fails, listen to some '90s music. Or to Hall and Oates (specifically, "You Make My Dreams"). You will feel like a kid at Disneyland who's eating a churro (and we all know that's the best feeling in the world).
"Mediocris Scholaris": The Average Student Scholarship Contest
Posted: January 9, 2013 Filed under: College Students, Education, Scholarships | Tags: average student, college, college education, college humor, college scholarships, college students, education, gpa, scholarships, university Comments Off
Whether you're preparing to attend college or you're already there, you'll probably have figured out by now that applying for scholarships to fulfill that expensive education is almost as difficult and as time consuming as attaining the degree itself. With the massive amount of competition out there, you might feel you have about the same chances of attaining a scholarship as you do of winning some sort of sweepstakes; there will always be somebody smarter, luckier, more talented or more involved in school than you to snatch the prize. It's hard to be that student in the middle, believe me, I know. As I found out when I was applying to universities, my parents (who were by no means "well-off") earned too much for me to receive any government aid, while my grades (a 4.3 GPA) were caught in a no-man's land in the scholarship world–not as high as my valedictorian friend's, not as low as the struggling students' who were given opportunities to break the cycle and go to college (quite rightly).
But in all of that, I ended up with scholarship fatigue. It felt like it'd never be me receiving the helping hand. How I wish the following scholarship had existed back then, when I could've been granted a scholarship for doing what I do best–being me.
College Humor is offering two students the opportunity to win $5,000 a piece. The requirement? Be that typical student caught in the middle.
Did you sign up for 3 clubs but never attend meetings? Is your GPA a 2.1? Would some of your professors have a hard time remembering if you were in their class? If so, enter now! We hope you're not exceptional.
If you're looking for ways to pay for college and are coming up short, definitely give this scholarship a go. What's the downside of rejection, after all? That you're not average enough? Head over to the scholarship's home page to watch a funny video and find out more on how to apply. Good luck!
Catcher in the Rye To Be Dropped from Curriculum? Puh-lease
Posted: December 12, 2012 Filed under: Education, Opinion, Science, Teachers & Teaching | Tags: books, common core, common core standards, common core state standards, curriculum, education, english, literature, politics, science, teachers 3 CommentsNew Common Core Standards drop classic novels in favor of "informational texts."
The US school system will undergo some big changes within the next two years, chiefly due to a decision to remove a good deal of classic novels from the curriculum, or so the recent media reports would have you think.
The idea behind discouraging or reducing the teaching of old favorites like The Catcher in the Rye and To Kill a Mockingbird is to make room for non-fiction "informational texts" in the curriculum. These should be approved by the Common Core Standards of each state. Suggested texts include, "Recommended Levels of Insulation by the US Environmental Protection Agency, and the Invasive Plant Inventory, by California's Invasive Plant Council," among others.
Mmmm, I just love me a good read on insulation levels while I soak in the tub.
So, the idea behind this is that children who pass through such a school system will be better prepared for the workplace, their brains packed with useful, practical knowledge rather than brimming with literary fluff (my personal summation). It has the backing of the National Governors' Association, the Council of Chief of State School Officers, and even the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which partially funded the directive.
But is that estimate correct? Will reading more non-fiction in favor of fiction breed better writing, or more informed graduates? The discussion is extremely divided. One Arkansas teacher wrote in this Telegraph article,
In the end, education has to be about more than simply ensuring that kids can get a job. Isn't it supposed to be about making well-rounded citizens?
Meanwhile, another reader weighed in for the pros of teaching more scientific texts:
I don't understand how adding non-fiction books to reading lists REDUCES imagination. Hard science is all about imagination–the "what ifs" of nature and the universe… I am sick of English professors acting like English Literature is the only bastion of imagination/critical thinking/culture.
When I first read that article stating that The Catcher in the Rye and other novels specifically would be gone from curriculums nation-wide, I was alarmed and frightened, though I now know it was needlessly so. The reactions of protesters are a tad hyperbolic, given that the two soporific texts I named above are found amongst a long list of alternate suggestions in various subjects, for instance Circumference: Eratosthenes and the Ancient Quest to Measure the Globe by Nicholas Nicastro, and The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story by Richard Preston, interesting and well-written books in their own right. English Literature classes will not be barred from teaching certain classic novels, as some of the reports would have you believe, though they may have more limited time to teach them than before. Yes, the school system will be changed and possibly not for the better, but Salinger and Lee aren't going anywhere.
All in all, the arguments for both sides make overblown assumptions: on the one, that students will miraculously be better prepared for the job market, on the other, that all imagination and creativity will be drained from impressionable young adults. So, which side do you stand on, if either? Is the teaching of informational texts merited, or best left to vocational studies? Tell us in a comment below!
Two Tales of Campus Fails
Posted: December 6, 2012 Filed under: College Students, Education, IT | Tags: college students, colleges, cornell, education, fails, nyu, replyapocalypse, universities Comments OffAhh… idyllic picture of college life, mais non? Well, recently on American campuses, two not-so-wonderful events transpired.
Fail Numero Uno: Let's begin with that bastion of the Ivy League, Cornell University. It seems that the school's stalwart repositories of knowledge, its libraries, have been used for some non-academic purposes, namely the filming of pornographic videos. Perhaps… the videos were an ironic take on the cinematic genre, perhaps, an homage if you will, to youth and freedom and self-expression. Perhaps it was just your standard porn featuring a young lady engaged in some solo activity and co-starring Carpenter Hall, the Engineering School's library.
One student, who (in the pursuit of education, I am sure) watched the video before the (I assume "frantic") campus administrators removed the link, offers this analysis: "She's facing a window (the one by the bike racks) and it's broad daylight. And at one point you can see people behind her studying."
Fail Numero Dos: Ever accidentally hit "reply all" on an email and immediately realize you've spammed dozens of people? Well, imagine that to the tune of forty thousand people. That's just what happened to NYU student Max Wiseltier, who innocently was trying to simply reply to the bursar's office. He realized his error almost instantly and tried to do the right thing by apologizing to those who received the email meant only for the bursar. It should have ended there. But, as the campus' newspaper reported, Max's email "triggered a rare, University-wide revelation." That revelation? "We simultaneously realized that any message, complaint, whim, link, video, or GIF could be sent to nearly 40,000 people in an instant."
It didn't take long for thousands of students to act on this delightful way to terrorize their campus. The system, unsurprisingly, soon crashed. Not long after, it was discovered that incorrect listserv software was attached to the original message, sparking what is now going down in campus legend as the "Reply-apocalypse." Whoops.
No More Smokin' in the Boys' Room: Tracking Chips On the Rise for Junior High and High School Students
Posted: November 27, 2012 Filed under: Education, Opinion, Teachers & Teaching | Tags: attendance, education, gps, high school, privacy, security, student id, student identification, student rights, tracking, tracking devices, tracking students Comments OffI have a child in junior high and a child in high school. Every day, both of them must wear their school-issued identification card on a lanyard around their necks at all times. The doors to their schools are locked at 8:30 a.m. After being checked out on a video camera and buzzed in, parents and other visitors must present a driver's license upon entering the building, and then that visitor is issued a sticker with a scanned image of their license picture and their name in bold letters. The sticker must be worn at all times while on school grounds.
My children do not attend school in the Gaza Strip. They are in a small Texas suburb where, honestly, the biggest threat to their well-being are West Nile mosquitoes, all of which, sadly, are too tiny for State-issued sticky-IDs.
Still, it is not enough. Now in addition to their dog-collars…err.. I mean "IDs,"… soon, they, like thousands of other Texas' kids, will be required to have their IDs "chipped," as in microchipped with GPS tracking devices that will let administrators and, presumably, teachers, know where they are at all times.
Not surprisingly, there has been backlash. One student, Andrea Hernandez of San Antonio, Texas, just won the right to refuse to wear the embedded identification. While Hernandez's reasons for balking at the requirement may be unusual (she believes the tracking is "Satanic"), many parents and students also contend that the practice is invasive and in violation of their rights. It all feels a little too creepily "Big Brother-ish" to lots of dissenters.
For their part, schools are embracing the GPS IDs because increased attendance means increased funding. Additionally, they claim that students' "rights being violated" is inapplicable since the students are under age. Moreover, there are voices on all sides, parents, teachers, administrators, and students, who argue that there should be nothing to worry about and no objections…if your student (or you) are where they (or you) are supposed to be.
What do you think? Yes to chips or no? And why?

Yes.. that "Please don't hurt my friend" was the most touching and human moment Sheldon has ever shown and Jim Parsons delivered it perfectly.. a little awww escaped from me (good thing i was watching alone
As to Penny.. really getting fed up with her a bit. Luckily i read an interview with Chuck Lorre who basically said it follows a plan they're having namely that a big thing this season is the bad timing of Penny and Leonard and that Penny has a little bit of growing up to do.
For once i'd like to have Leonard dump her when (and if) he finds out.. he needs to man up a bit which coincidentally is maybe what Penny needs.. someone to stand up to her bullshit because honestly.. she'll most likely not find a guy this good amongst the usual idiots she favored previously.

According to his coach, as soon as Josh Adams saw the place he was hooked.
"From the moment he left, he couldn't stop thinking about Notre Dame," said Tom Hetrick, who is heading into his first season as Central Bucks South's coach. "Josh and his mom and dad got the chance to see the campus and really liked everything. Notre Dame will be a great fit for him."
Adams, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound running back, made his intentions to join the Fighting Irish official on Monday by making a verbal commitment to head to South Bend, Indiana, in the fall of 2015.
"He's going into his senior year and it's nice for him to have his college decision out of the way," Hetrick said. "I know he's very excited and I know that we have big plans for him this season."
Adams burst onto the scene as a sophomore when he rushed for 2,089 yards and 28 touchdowns.
As a junior, he sustained a torn ACL against North Penn and saw his season end in early October. Despite the injury, he still rushed for 738 yards and 10 touchdowns.
His career numbers at South are astounding: 2,827 rushing yards on 341 carries (8.3 yards per carry) and 38 touchdowns.
"Josh is the best running back in the East along with Andre Robinson (Harrisburg Bishop McDevitt,)" CBS Sports Network recruiting analyst Tom Lemming told the South Bend Tribune. "He's not a speed-burner, but he has good speed with good size. He's a smart kid and a good student."
Adams is listed as the No. 7 overall prospect in the state by 247sports.com and is the 28th-ranked running back in the country.
"Notre Dame likes him as a running back and his body type fits into their system," Hetrick said. "They're looking for a power back kind of guy, not the 5-10 scatback type. All he wants is a chance to show what he can do. He has a great work ethic in the classroom and on the football field, and that focus is going to help take him a long way."
Adams also had offers from Boston College, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Stanford and Temple.
"Josh had to make some tough phone calls today to let coaches know he wouldn't be coming," Hetrick said. "His sister goes to Pitt and Pitt was right up there on his list. But when he was at Notre Dame for their Irish Invasion camp (a little over a week ago) with a lot of their recruits he was hooked."
Despite the torn ACL, no programs backed off of him.
"I'm sure a lot of schools were hoping other schools would be deterred by the injury, but none were," Hetrick said. "His knee is great and college programs have so much experience with kids with that injury that they know kids come back from it. And you can come back even stronger, and that's what Josh has done.
"He's just the kind of kid you root for because he does everything the right way."

Is Samwise Gamgee Right About Potatoes?
Posted By Mark Sisson On October 19, 2010 @ 10:32 am In Carbs,Nutrition | 214 Comments
Potatoes are controversial in the Primal and paleo world. They represent a bolus of dietary starch, which can wreak havoc on the insulin resistant, but they are undeniably whole, real foods that don't require much processing beyond simple heating. Grains [7] and legumes [8], on the other hand, are tiny, disparate sources of calories that need soaking [9], fermenting [10], and extensive heating to be palatable (and they'll still mess you up), but potatoes are big, dense, and obviously food. Chimps have been known to use sticks to dig up and eat wild tubers [11], and they've got even less salivary amylase to break down starch [12] than we do. Evidence exists for human consumption of roots and tubers from multiple sites spanning multiple time periods: Northern Europe (specifically Poland [13]), in the terminal Paleolithic and early Mesolithic. Clearly, we have the physiology (amylase production, glucose metabolism), the tools (fire, hearths, digging implements), and the motivation (attraction to dense caloric sources with negligible or easily neutralized anti-nutrients) to consume starchy tubers.
So what's the hold up? Why do I generally recommend limiting their intake?
As I mentioned in the rice post [14], a human metabolic tabula rasa can handle all macronutrients in whole food form without metabolic dysfunction. That's why you get folks like the Kitavans eating a high starchy tuber diet with excellent health and fit figures, or the supremely healthy pre-colonial Tokelauans, who ate a mixed diet high in saturated fat from coconuts and supported with plenty of yams and breadfruit (similar to a plantain) that amounted to a roughly 52/36/12 fat/carb/protein macronutrient split [15]. Not low-carb (or low-fat, for that matter), but they were starting from scratch using ancestral whole foods.
So, before you start frying up some hash browns in that bacon fat or enjoying an extra large baked potato with your steak, ask yourself: are you Samwise Gamgee or Frodo Baggins?
Remember the Lord of the Rings flicks (yes, I know the books are better, but my take on this relies strictly on the actors portraying the characters and a specific line used in the movies)? Besides being masterfully crafted amalgamations of Norse and Anglo-Saxon mythology, fairy tales, and Judeo-Christian theology, they also represent an interesting – if unwitting – treatise on nutrition, metabolism, and the necessity of dietary individuation, especially when it comes to potatoes (who knew?!). Samwise Gamgee, as portrayed by Sean Astin in the movies, waxes exuberant about the myriad uses of the waxy tubers: "Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!" But should we listen to the portly halfling's views on potatoes? I mean, the guy walked clear across Middle Earth, all the way to Mordor and up the face of Mt. Doom, without losing a single pound. If anything, he gained a bit.
And what of Frodo? It's true that Frodo was able to subsist entirely on Elvish bread while staying lithe and lean, but it was magic Elvish bread known as lembas. The Elves (stay with me here…) were immortal, giving them plenty of time to develop a mode of grain processing that destroyed all dietary lectins [16], gluten [17], and phytic acid while preserving nutrient, vitamin, and mineral content. Besides, Frodo got a lot of low level, slow moving cardio [18] – hiking, really – and didn't eat much fructose [19] or seed oil, so his insulin [20] sensitivity was adequate to deal with non-optimal food sources. He could eat potatoes (or lembas) for days and not gain an ounce, or worry about metabolic derangement.
But Sam? Sam reacts differently to potatoes. He's a chubby, emotional eater who's prone to manic excitement and instinctual distrust of outsiders. He clings to starchy foods, even as his ability to effectively metabolize them without excessive fat accumulation falters. Sam's an active guy, too, putting in a ton of hiking, hill walking, bouldering, and hobbit-carrying, but he can't seem to shake those pounds. Sound familiar?
You might say he's a fair approximation of your standard SAD-eater straining away on the treadmill [21]. His metabolism was damaged long before joining the Fellowship, and eating potatoes only makes it worse. Are you Sam or Frodo?
Of course, this is simply a playful way to illustrate my point: whether potatoes belong in your eating strategy may have a lot to do with the state of your metabolism.
My first impulse is to speak to the Samwises of the world: the metabolically-deranged, overweight, insulin-resistant men, women, and children (and even, horrifyingly, infants) who have lost the ability to handle glucose. They're the ones who are most likely to be looking for a solution, while skinny (on the surface), fit (on the surface) folks tend to be satisfied with their current dietary path. Many of my readership started reading because they were overweight. A good chunk of this country, and indeed the entire world, is overweight. This is a problem. This is a problem that's growing, quite literally and figuratively. And they may not have gotten overweight in the first place because of baked sweet potatoes with grass-fed butter, or Yukon golds roasted in duck fat [22], but those foods certainly aren't going to help their current insulin-resistant predicament. Potatoes should be limited, or even outright eliminated, for this (large) subset of the population. For the lean and active, however, I don't think a few red potatoes with dinner are anything to worry about.
Deciding whether potatoes fit into your diet is ultimately a personal decision, but exactly how your body reacts to starch – in its current metabolic state, which, remember, is not set in stone [23] – should be the major determinant. Other potential, secondary concerns with potato consumption exist, things like glycoalkaloids, macro- and micro-nutrient counts, intestinal permeability, and anecdotal accounts (including my own) of joint irritation, all of which I'll get into next time, but for now, potatoes reside in dietary limbo. You guys are the deities here, folks. You get to decide who gets redeemed. You can be a loving, caring, selfless god who accepts everyone (including more weight around the midsection), or you can be a clever tactician, taking that which suits your current situation (think of the Greek gods, those immortals with very mortal flaws and foibles). If you're still trying to lose thirty pounds, I'd go with the latter option and maybe hold off on the spuds.
(For my money, I'll have what Gollum's having, thank you. He rocked 5% body fat, a great strength-to-bodyweight ratio, retched at the thought of eating bread, and dined on whole, raw, living fish. I don't recall him eating all that often, either, so I'm going to say he's firmly in the IF camp, too. Yeah, Gollum was pretty Primal.)
What do you think? Can you eat potatoes and avoid fat gain? Did you have to lose the weight and reset the metabolism before you could partake? Let me know in the comments!

Good Saturday Morning Cottagers!! It is a brilliant sunny day here - not sure how I am going to waste it yet. But the garden is a sure bet. Tomorrow night is of interest, in the night-time sky. While we have started Perseid Meteor Showers, they have competition with the moon. She is the largest we see with the naked eye, but don't get too excited - it's only a difference of about 8%. During the Apollo program, the terms pericynthion and apocynthion were used when referring to the Moon. Perhaps an easy question, but what do these terms mean, and what is the root of their creation? Stargazing is a great cottage past-time. Do you know what we are looking, Cottagers? I will be back with clues, if you need them!! Nancy. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am not familiar with those two words and await your clues. Saw the super moon last night, quite lovely. |
Why, Nancy! You know I have to know this! Cynthia |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 11:48
Well, I thought you might, but took the chance anyway!! ;-) Nancy. |
I alwats liked the origin of my name! Heading out to weed. Every time I think I am close to having a couple of beds cleaned up, I find new weeds popping up. Sheesh. The phrase so near and yet so far comes to mind. Hopeless. Cynthia |
Oh and btw, I was not complaining at all. Love knowing something right off for a change! :) Cynthia |
Well, I know perigee, apogee, perihelion, and aphelion, but I can't decipher the cynth part of the words in question today. I'm guessing it must refer to the moon. Maybe from Greek or Latin or? TM |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 14:17
Cynthia, do you grow artemisia in your garden? I always loved that soft grey glow of the foliage, though most of the cultivars I have grown have been far from perfect. Funny how that is. I was looking at my photos of my trip to Greece this week. My favourite spot was the island of Delos. It was major centre in pre-Hellenic society. Very wonderful to see all the restored ruins there. Nancy. |
I have some artemisia in a pot on the deck and plan to move it to the ground this fall. I am planning a try it in the h--- strip between to sidewalk and street. Just pulled out everything that was there (one tiny area that I plan to expand as I am successful-very dry there and hard to water). I plan to put in some liriope, hosta, etc. in the more shady areas and other flowering stuff (lavender, artemisia, lantana, ...) where it gets more sun. We'll see. I am not ignoring your clue, though. Good one. Most people do not know the meaning of my name! Cynthia |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 15:52
TM, definitely a Greek or pre-Greek origin. It is an epithet, or by-name with one we are more accustomed to hearing. Nancy. |
Don't know the origins but from clues I am thinking they have to do with orbiting the moon and one is point closest to moon and one farthest out. Guess pericynthion is closest since it was listed first and apocynthion is point farthest since it was listed second. Need more clues for the origin, got that it is Greek. Thought cyn might refer to five? |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Sun, Aug 10, 14 at 0:06
Peri- is always close - think perinatal, perimortem, etc. Apo- I have less in my mind, but think apogee. Not 5 Bobbie. It is an nickname, an aka for a goddess. Think of Greek mythology and the Apollo Mission. Hmmm.... Nancy. |
Greek moon goddess Artemis, see where the artemisia clue fits but not Cynthia. Maybe Cynthia is another name for the goddess of the moon. Peri--close to cynth--moon. Pericynthion point closest to the moon of lunar orbit apocynthion point farthest from moon of lunar orbit Cynthia, another name for the Greek goddess of the moon, Atremis Tonight's news said it was almost a full moon and won't be a super moon until tomorrow afternoon so I saw an almost super moon last night. Too cloudy to see the moon tonight. |
This post was edited by mnwsgal on Sun, Aug 10, 14 at 4:05
I agree with Bobbie about the meanings of the two words, but I can't claim to have any insights on their origin. I didn't know about Artemis being the moon goddess, so that clue was lost on me. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Bobbie was right. She so often is. :-) TM |
Agreed. Cynthia is another name for the goddess of the moon. Using what know from other words and Latin, pericynthion would be when Apollo crafts were closest to the moon and apocynthion (as in apogee) would be farthest point. Cynthia ;) |

Hmmmm, finally got back on the computer, had a busy day yesterday, I'm still in the dark on this one was thinking something like moon goddess but that's as far as I got......I've been out digging......... Just imagine what I'm working with, a solid mass on lily-of-the-valley, euphorbia, columbine and ajuga roots intertwined with buttercup, embedded in that d..n landscape cloth someone told me I should put down when I first made this bed.... and, oh I forgot to mention all the surface roots from the yellow cedar in the back corner. Like the name of the show "Hell on Wheels" seems to fit the description of this little jobie. Now that I've started I've got to keep at it till it's finished so if I'm not around, that's what I'm up to :(. Annette |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Sun, Aug 10, 14 at 12:06
Here is a link that might be useful: More about Delos
Well, "my" mountain is a rather small, unexceptional one, isn't it? Thanks for the stars. Maybe I should do a name derivation matching question next time. That could be fun. No fair researching yet! ;) Annette, ugh! So sorry about your tangle of roots. I bought a huge roll of that fabric years ago. Then, I read more about it. I think I finally tossed it or donated it-not sure which-maybe I sold it at a yard sale... Cynthia, but you may call me goddess |
Thanks for the question and all the clues which gave me the answers though you had to lead me to the last part. I enjoy the challenge of finding the clues and figuring out the answers. Don't know the origin of Bobbie but my given name means nobel, kind Looked that up years ago. |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Sun, Aug 10, 14 at 22:17
I remember reading that Nancy was a nice lady who drove a station wagon- lol. Nancy, which is a diminutive of Ann, as is Annette. |
Thanks, Nancy, for the stars, however undeserved they may be. :-) I knew Perigee -- moon or other satellite's closest point to Earth And now I know Pericynthion -- orbiting body's closest point to the moon. I wonder if there are names for the closest point of orbiting bodies of the other planets. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the fun. TM |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Mon, Aug 11, 14 at 12:20
And I would like to k now what you find!! Nancy. |
Nancy, apparently there actually are a lot of different names, depending upon the body being orbited. Not all of them are used, or even agreed upon, and perigee and apogee seem to be the default terms that are often used, even when they may not be exactly correct. TM |

I know I am not tired of your pictures! I enjoy them very much. The forum just seems kinda dead as of late. These are all so pretty. There sure are a LOT of 'S's. I especially like Spiny Sea Urchin, Spirited Beginnings, Spring Chorus and Sultry Spanish Eyes. That poly on Stop the Show is cool! Celeste |
Ellie: I've been reading all the posts you've done so don't stop and I'm not tired of viewing. I haven't posted because I'm enjoying the show and what could I say since I love them all. LOL. It is crunch time here and I'm almost done with all the plant moving and trying to eliminate double plantings of the same cultivar and move out those who would be better off somewhere else. I've replaced a few with new ones (new to me)and got them all planted too. I'm sure you've been there, done that too. Keep the posts coming. Julia |
I am not tired of looking at your gorgeous blooms. STOP THE SHOW is so pretty. love them pinks, too. Jean |
Never tired of your pictures. Please keep them coming. I like String Bikini - very different! |
Celeste, it is cool on Stop The Show but doesn't make the flower look pretty. Stop The Show is one of the old ones I am keeping because I just love the bloom. Out of the rest you chose, Spring Chorus is my favorite, along with Spiny Sea Urchin.. Julia, I am there and doing that. I have reset a couple of hundred so far and have at least a hundred to go. I haven't started my UF's and Spiders yet but I plan to start tomorrow. Also, when I finish those, I have at least a hundred doubles to sort through and see what I want to keep. Since I had about 750, I hope to keep about half. I do however plan to keep all the seedlings..about 3 or 4 hundred that have bloomed. To many for and old woman to work alone... Jean, Stop The Show is from 86' but she has such beautiful blooms and BIG too that I couldn't bare to get rid of her. Sometimes she isn't as pink as other times but I love the cream and pink blend.. Hostabuff, I like String Bikini's color. I have quite a few spiders and UF's and plan to keep them all. The yellow on her face seems to accent the purple. She's a beauty and really does well here..she doesn't get as tall for me as she is supposed too!! Thanz for you input!! Ellie |
Dragging up the rear on this post, don't stop Ellie, love all your pictures. My favs are Square Dancers Curtsey, Spirited Beginnings, and Stop The Show. Avedon |
Thank you Avedon. I love Square Dancers Curtsy. I wonder what happened to everyone...to busy, I suppose!! Ellie |
Thank you Avedon. I love Square Dancers Curtsy. I wonder what happened to everyone...to busy, I suppose!! Ellie |
What!!!! tired of your photos it wont happen. You sure have some gorgeous blooms I love every one of them. Linda |
Another pretty batch. I'm outside trying to fertilize my roses for the last time this season, and don't get on as much as before, but I sure hope you keep posting. What a nice break to see all your daylilies after working so hard on the roses. Great shot of Strawberry Candy, but I think the nod goes to Splendid Touch or Spring Chorus....Maryl |
Linda, you are very encouranging..Thank you!! Maryl, I managed to save a few fans of each. Since I am downsizing, I had to re-locate and set aside and area. I also decided that I would get my favorites in that are and everything else had to go. So much to do and so little...energy.. Thanks for commenting!! Ellie |

Loving the stories & of course loving all the DVD extras.

Post-game breakdown: Cincinnati
Well, that was a complete dud. UConn never led and played poorly for most of the game, losing 70-58, at Fifth Third Arena.
Some UConn basketball injury news from Wednesday afternoon's practice at Gampel Pavilion:
Junior DeAndre Daniels is considered probable for Thursday night's game against Houston in Storrs. He hasn't practiced since suffering a high right ankle sprain in Saturday's win at Rutgers.
Coach Kevin Ollie said that Daniels is at about 65 percent.
"We'll see how it is in the morning and we'll evaluate it and then we'll go from there," Ollie said. "He is healing very, very well."
Daniels, who's second on the team in scoring and rebounding, will test out his ankle during a late afternoon shoot-around on Thursday. But it's not a good sign that he sat out practice this week.
"If we held him out of shoot-around, I probably won't play him," Ollie said. "We'll see at four o'clock. He's progressing well."
After hosting Houston, UConn has a week break before visiting first-place Cincinnati on Feb. 6.
Daniels has played in 52 straight games, including 50 starts. Both are the longest current streaks by a Husky.
-- Sophomore guard Omar Calhoun is ready to return to action. He missed Saturday's game with a sprained ankle. He practiced on Wednesday.
Calhoun has been mired in a prolonged slump, losing his starting job earlier this season and averaging just 6.3 points and shooting 35.5 percent from the field. He averaged 11.1 points and shot 40 percent last season.
"He's ready to go," Ollie said. "We want Omar to get out there and play some good defense and knock down some shots and try to get back on track and play the way we've been seeing him and envision him playing.
"He's going to get another great opportunity to get out there. I think it's only a matter of time that he breaks out of his slump and plays the basketball that we know he's capable of.
"He's working is butt off, though. That's what I'm most proud of him about. … That's why I think there's going to be a break-through soon."
-- For more about the Huskies and Thursday's game, check out the attached video from Ollie's post-practice press conference.
Well, that was a complete dud. UConn never led and played poorly for most of the game, losing 70-58, at Fifth Third Arena.
Senior Ryan Boatright knows what's at stake in the final 12 regular season games, starting with tonight's action at Cincinnati at Fifth Third Arena.
UConn enters today's game sitting in fifth place in the American Athletic Conference.Tulsa (7-0) and SMU (7-1) are pulling away from the pack.
UConn has had issues putting teams away this season. It happened again on Thursday.
UConn begins an important two-game homestand tonight with an American Athletic Conference game against Central Florida.
After its latest damaging loss, UConn faces a long, hard road to qualify for the NCAA tournament.
UConn didn't lose its seventh game last season until March 8.The Huskies (9-6) are trying to avoid suffering their seventh defeat tonight at Stanford.
UConn suffered a major letdown against Tulsa on Tuesday night. Almost nothing went right for the Huskies, who were simply out-played and out-worked for the first time in recent weeks.
Remember when UConn's big conference games used to be against Syracuse and Georgetown?
UConn is heating up at the right time.The Huskies scored an important 62-56 victory over Cincinnati today before a sold-out XL Center crowd of 15,564.
It's too early in the season to place today's game in the must win category.
UConn is one of four American Athletic Conference teams still without a conference win heading into tonight's game against South Florida at the Sun Dome.

When It Happens Many women wait until the end of their first trimester -- or later -- to tell their work they're expecting. The news should come to your boss straight from you, not through office gossip. You also don't want her to figure it out before you tell her, so try to do it by the time your bump is showing.
The Traditional Way Try to break the news after you've completed an assignment -- this sends the message that your condition hasn't affected your productivity so far, and that you have every intention of doing your job (and doing it well) for the remainder of your pregnancy. Another smart move: Before you talk, put together a plan outlining how your duties will be covered during your leave. Your boss is much more likely to greet the news with enthusiasm if she knows you've got the situation covered.
