As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

New Remote Control Designs From Philips Home Control At IBC 2013
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- At this year's IBC event, taking place in Amsterdam from 13-17 September, Philips Home Control is introducing two new remote control designs to their off the shelf portfolio for OEMs and MSOs, as well as a number of new technology solutions. Together they address the dynamic and exciting challenges coming from the emerging market of smart and connected devices with endless content possibilities.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130914/NY79962 )
Advanced control comes with style
The Surf platform joins Philips Home Control's successful dual keyboard remote control product family. The compact and refreshing industrial design is poised to set a new benchmark in the market. It offers a broad choice of wireless solutions and numerous advanced control features including touch control for intuitive navigation, motion control for gaming and voice input for search, as well as a new head's up text entry experience. That makes it a versatile and effective solution for OEMs and MSOs looking to offer their customers a novel smart TV experience.
Alternatively for the connoisseur who appreciates a remote control as a piece of art, the Argento delivers high-end design with intuitive control. It is a direct result of Philips Home Control's leading industrial design heritage. Every detail of this slim, sleek and simple remote has been carefully thought through and crafted with precision, to achieve its intended look, feel and usability. Continuing to push innovation Imagine the possibilities of taking any remote control and simply and cost-effectively turning it into a touchpad. RevoTouch (Revolutionary Touch) from Philips Home Control does exactly that, reusing the same rubber or plastic keys as any normal remote yet it does not need the stiff, flat areas normally required by touch pads. It delivers full design flexibility for very ergonomic, stylish remote controls that offer both 'normal' key clicks (up / down / left / right / OK) as well as touchpad interactions (flick up / down gestures, cursor control, etc.) using the same cursor pad area. OEMs and MSOs can also forget about printed manuals, instead they can just give customers the luxury of a graphical wizard running on the TV screen. SimpleSetup already offers a thoroughly user-tested way to program a universal remote. With Philips Home Control's extensive IR code library which can be embedded in the remote or hosted in the cloud, end customers can control their legacy IR equipment in no-time. OnScreen SimpleSetup only needs an HTML browser for painless integration on any modern STB platform. The Philips cloud based service takes care of the rest.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

This is exactly the sort of probem we are fixing on the unicode branch. I'll leave this open until that is merged, but it's not something to fix on trunk.

Ever Googled yourself? Your prospective employers are doing the same—and checking out your tweets, status updates, and photos. Of course, you're most likely finding out about them too. So we wanted to try a new kind of job interview: The Social Interview. We asked summer internship candidates to allow us to post three questions to their Facebook wall—not for them to answer, but for their friends to answer. It gave us a more complete picture of the candidates. With thousands of answers posted, we discovered some of the most young, social media savvy minds around

Well worth reading. Study shows that fluoride exposure from municipal water sources has a neurotoxic effect on children. And more importantly for us at this moment:
Choi's team writes, "Fluoride readily crosses the placenta. Fluoride exposure to the developing brain, which is much more susceptible to injury caused by toxicants than is the mature brain, may possibly lead to damage of a permanent nature."
Infant formula when mixed with fluoridated water delivers 100-200 times more fluoride than breastmilk.

The room exceeded my expectations. A small room with a desk up front, TV and couch. The bedroom had a separate door. It was really nice. The kitchenette, especially the mini-fridge, made the stay very comfortable. The bar and room-service were both great.
The TV system was slow, but the WiFi and internet were worse. My WiFi connection was dropped several times during a short period. When it was connected, browsing the web was painfully slow.

The 2 room suite, the hotel lay out and lighting, Felt like you were in Las Vegas best hotels!The staff were awesome and courteous. The service was fast.
Could not adjust the room temp. The blankets were too rough. The restaurant could be separated from the Bar so that the grandkids wouldn't be hearing people cheers watching football!
Have a kids friendly corner.

Modern, recently updated room and facilities
Location of room (301) was directly across from elevator. Not a good thing. Thought parking was included - only kind of: there are about 6 spaces you can park in for free. Definitely recommend becoming an Honors member for parking discount
Location isn't the best for immediate needs but the hotel is clean, modern, smells much better than the Embassy up the 55 that looks like a Moroccan castle but smells like a locker room.

Great breakfast, nice rooms.
They never cleaned our room the 2nd day, but outside of needing a few towels it was no big deal.
Great location and friendly staff. Covered parking cost $15, but sometimes they will waive the cost.

After the success of their critically acclaimed 2012 EP 'Where You Lay', folk-indie duo The Paper Shades have now returned with their latest double A side single 'Home/Strong'.
Drawing a strong influence from contemporary songwriters like Laura Marling and Angus and Julia Stone, The Paper Shades have managed to infuse the pop sensibilities of modern musical trends and an authentic sound to create one of the most engaging and fulfilling songs of the year so far.
Stokeswood and Ghost Owl are teaming up for a five-night Sunshine State run April 22 - 26, 2015 playing Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Deland, Miami and Dunedin Florida! As part of the run, the two bands will play La Tierre Miami, an Earth Day celebration at Lot14/Railroad Blues also featuring The Heavy Pets, Crazy Fingers, 7 Below, Floyd is Dead and The Funky Nuggets.
HARD Events, the promoters behind such major electronic music events as HARD Day of the Dead, HARD SUMMER and HOLY SHIP!, have announced today, February 26 the newest addition to their live experience collection with goHARD. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, February 27 at 10 am local time (except Dallas noon local time) at www.goh
Forty Below Records announces an April 21 release date for John Mayall's Bluesbreakers – Live in 1967 (Never Before Heard Live Performances), a very special archival recording of one the best of the Bluesbreakers band lineups, featuring legendary musicians John Mayall (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Peter Green (lead guitar), John McVie (bass) and Mick Fleetwood (drums).
PromoWest Productions announced today the 2015 lineup for Bunbury Music Festival, set to take place in downtown Cincinnati's Sawyer Point and Yeatman's Cove June 5-7. The festival will feature an eclectic lineup spanning three days and four stages.
The title of Taarka's 2013 album, Adventures in Vagabondia, wound up being a little too autobiographical when David Tiller and Enion Pelta-Tiller, the couple forming the band's core, lost their home in Colorado's devastating floods that fall. Which might be why they went with Making Tracks Home for their March 24, 2015 release. After an experience like that, home becomes even more special — though they're also making tracks to many other places on their upcoming tour.
MoonGoddess Entertainment and Brotherly Love Productions are teaming up to present two nights of Perpetual Groove at State Theatre in St. Petersburg on July 31 and August 1.

Nashville Star 2
USA Network begins auditions and sets schedule for second 'Nashville Star'
By Wade Paulsen, 10/23/2003
USA Networks announced Tuesday that the second edition of its reality-talent show
Nashville Star
will begin airing on March 6, 2004, in the same Saturday night at 10 PM (ET/PT) time slot (which, to put it politely, is not a desirable slot).
A full list of the scheduled auditions, which began in Nashville on October 22, can be found on the
Nashville Star
Web site
. In addition, audition videotapes will be accepted until December 1.
Nancy O'Dell, co-anchor of the nationally syndicated entertainment news program
Access Hollywood
, returns to
Nashville Star
for the second season as host. O'Dell said: "Having grown up in South Carolina, I have always been a fan of country music and was honored to be a part of the discovery of the immensely talented Buddy Jewell. I can't wait to see the new talent who will be discovered this year."

In its first season,
Nashville Star
featured live performances by twelve finalists, who were judged by industry professionals and the television viewing audience as they competed for a recording contract with Sony Music Nashville. The finalists lived together in a house on Music Row in Nashville, and the show was broadcast live from Nashville's BellSouth Acuff Theatre. The second season will follow the same format, except that only ten finalists will be selected from a group of twenty who will perform during the premiere episode. The panel of judges will select nine, with the television viewing audience voting to determine the tenth finalist.
The first
Nashville Star
launched the career of Sony Music artist Buddy Jewell, who is nominated for the Horizon Award at this year's "Country Music Association Awards." His debut CD,
Buddy Jewell
, was produced by Clint Black and
entered the Billboard Country Albums chart at #1
. His debut single, "Help Pour Out the Rain (Lacey's Song)," was a Top-5 hit on the Billboard country airplay chart, after making the highest charting debut by a solo country artist in over a decade (since the introduction of the Nielsen SoundScan system in January 1990).
The group of twenty competing for the ten finalist slots will be selected following local auditions in 25 cities across the country through mid-December, as well as four regional competitions that will take place in January. Cities where local auditions will take place are: Atlanta, GA; Austin, TX; Birmingham, AL; Cleveland, OH; Dallas, TX; Denver, CO; Grand Rapids, MI; Greensboro, NC; Greenville, SC; Hartford, CT; Houston, TX; Jacksonville, FL; Las Vegas, NV; Lexington, KY; Little Rock, AR; Los Angeles, CA; Minneapolis, MN; Nashville, TN; Oklahoma City, OK; Philadelphia, PA; Phoenix, AZ; Seattle, WA; St. Louis, MO; Tampa, FL; and Washington, DC. For details on rules, and eligibility, visit the
Nashville Star
web site
A regular feature of each episode of
Nashville Star
will be the "Hot Spot" segment, during which finalists will be asked to rise to a new challenge, one that they would be likely to encounter as a professional recording artist. One example from the first season was when five of the finalists sang the National Anthem at a NASCAR race.
Nashville Star
is created by Reveille, run by Ben Silverman (
The Restaurant
) and executive producer H.T. Owens (
The Restaurant
Nashville Star
). George Verschoor and his production company, Hoosick Falls Productions, are executive producing in association with Reveille. The show is produced by Jon Small (
Garth Brooks Live From Central Park
Billy Joel Live at Yankee Stadium
) and his production company, Picture Vision.
A major change that will be coming to the show, according to the (Nashville)
, is that only one of last season's
three judges
is expected to return. Sony Music A&R executive Tracy Gershon (sister of actress Gina Gershon) is expected to be back. However, both musician Charlie Robison and critic Robert K. Oermann have opted to leave
Nashville Star
Robison, the husband of controversial Dixie Chick leftist Emily Robison, who recently called California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
clueless and his candidacy "absolutely insane,"
issued a statement saying that career and family considerations caused him not to return. We have a sneaking suspicion that those considerations may involve removing certain feet from mouths ... or, perhaps, avoiding the backlash from the Chicks'
continuing political rants
By contrast, Oermann seems to be leaving for more mundane reasons. Another change is that Clint Black will not return as the "mentor" for the contestants. However, a number of other country stars are expected to participate in the show, as also happened in the first season.

Melanie McDonagh: All hail Alice and her 150 years of quiet scepticism
To amuse the Liddell sisters, Lewis Carroll created an enduring host of pompous eccentrics – and one defiant little girl who is not take in
It was Friday the fourth of July, 1852, 150 years ago this week, when Charles Dodgson, a mathematics don at Christ Church, Oxford, and his clergyman friend, Robinson Duckworth, took the three little daughters of the college dean boating on the river from Folly Bridge to Godstow village for a picnic. That fourth of July, observed W H Auden, was "as memorable a day in the history of literature as it is in American history". Roger Lancelyn Green, the children's author, called it "probably the most famous picnic that has ever taken place", though a case could probably be made for the picnic at the start of The Wind in the Willows that cemented the friendship between Ratty and Mole.
"We had tea on the bank," wrote Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, in his diary, "and did not reach Christ Church again till a quarter past eight... on which occasion I told the fairy tale of Alice's Adventures Under Ground, which I undertook to write out for Alice." And with the writing of the story, with the title later amended to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the nature of children's literature changed for ever. Indeed, you could say that children's literature itself, in a new form, came into being.
Duckworth, the other man in the party, rowing stroke to Dodgson's bow, later recalled: "The story was actually composed and told over my shoulder. I remember turning round and saying, 'Dodgson, is this an extempore romance of yours?' And he replied, 'Yes, I'm inventing as I go along.' I also remember how, when he conducted the three children back to the Deanery, Alice said, as she bade us goodnight, 'Oh Mr Dodgson, I wish you would write out Alice's adventures for me!'" He promised to do so, and stayed up nearly the whole night writing down his recollections, but he continued to tell parts of the story on another of his boating trips with the daughters of Dean Liddell.
Carroll described the "golden afternoon" of the boat trip in the verses that preface the book. He jokes about the bossy Prima, Secunda and Tertia, otherwise Lorina, 13, Alice, 10, and Edith, eight, who demanded a story. And so the tale of "the dream child moving through the land of wonders wild and new" came into being. He recalled later: "In a desperate attempt to strike out some new line of fairy lore, I sent my heroine straight down a rabbit hole, without the least idea what was to happen afterwards."
And so quite a new literary genre was born, the children's story without a moral. There are other claimants to be the begetters of children's literature as we know it: Dodgson's friends, George MacDonald and Charles Kingsley, of The Water Babies fame, pre-eminent among them, along with the subversive geniuses who wrote the first penny dreadfuls for boys. But Alice was different. As Dodgson wrote to a friend, "I can guarantee the [Alice] books have no religious teaching whatever in them – in fact, they do not teach anything at all."
It is hard to overstate the importance of this joyous liberation. Of course there have always been storytellers who told the story for the story's sake, but in books written specifically for children, didacticism was, one way or another, the norm. (And if you think it's a vanished genre, take a look a the countless dispiriting modern children's books with an environmental message.) As Harvey Darton wrote in 1932: "The directness of such a work was a revolution in its sphere. It was the coming to the surface, powerfully and permanently... of liberty of thought in children's books."
This was not, it should be said, because Dodgson was irreligious, though there have been some bizarre claims to this effect. He was an Anglican deacon of irreproachable orthodoxy – other than an inability to believe in perpetual damnation for the wicked – who took his Christianity seriously. But this story was told to give pleasure and that is how it was written.
And of course, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, has, as you might expect, umpteen references to the people the girls knew. The Dodo in the race was Dodgson himself; the Duck was Duckworth; the date of the Mad Hatter's tea party was the fourth of the month, the Mad Hatter may have been based on a local furniture dealer called Theophilus Carter, who wore a top hat and invented an "alarm clock bed" that woke the sleeper by tossing him on to the floor. (Honestly.)
All this has been unearthed in the avalanche of adult literary industry that has been unleashed on the playful story and its author. Some, like the explanations of allusions to mathematical concepts in the Alice books, are amusing; others are malign.
Several biographers have suggested a sinister element to Lewis Carroll's interest in children; his photographs of little girls naked or semi-naked, taken in the company of their mothers, goes down badly nowadays.
And he was, without question, infatuated with little girls. He was a paedophile, in the sense of a lover of children. (He was a shy maths don, afflicted with a stammer; in their company, he could be unaffected, playful and at ease.) As he once observed, "I am fond of children (except boys)". And he was especially fond of the Liddell girls, and fonder of Alice than any of them. She does seem to have been a child of unusual charm and determination: she captivated John Ruskin too, who taught the girls drawing. Yet it was another Alice, a Miss Raikes, who gave rise to the sequel to Wonderland, Alice Through the Looking Glass. "I am very fond of Alices," Carroll told her.
One of Carroll's biographers, Morton Cohen, thinks, after reading his diaries, that he may have suggested to Mrs Liddell, Alice's mother, when she was 11 that he and her daughter might, one day, marry when she was grown up. (The ambitious Mrs Liddell would have given the idea short shrift.) It is rather different from suggesting that there was anything untoward in his behaviour towards her or any of the little girls whose friendship he sought. As Martin Gardner wrote in his comprehensive edition The Annotated Alice, "There is no indication that Carroll was conscious of anything but the purest innocence in his relations with little girls, nor is there a hint of impropriety in any of the fond recollections that dozens of them later wrote about them."
Carroll was, in fact, the very opposite of another children's writer, J M Barrie, whose relationship to the Llewellyn boys, which gave rise to Peter Pan, was dark and may have been predatory, at least emotionally. Carroll sought happiness in the company of little girls and they were happy with him.
What no one can deny is that we have all been the beneficiaries of Carroll's boating trip with the Liddell girls and the stream of nonsense that he came up with to please them, as he and Duckworth rowed and rested. He would sometimes stop "until next time", only for the girls to shriek: "It is next time!" Without that imperious command to write down the story, we would never have had that unaccountable dream world which has set free the imagination of Lewis Carroll's successors.
Contemporary children may find the written style of the Alice books difficult or alien – grown-ups can relish it though – but they still get a kick out of the films it generated. We all of us live in a world inhabited by the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and the Queen of Hearts, and we are richer for it. And it is satisfying to think, as Lewis Carroll observed, that it was written "to please a child I loved". It has pleased so many more.

Re: OT: Announcing ONLY SUPERHUMAN, my first original novel!
It's great to hear your writing career is entering a new and productive stage, particularly with a work that's apparently of great personal importance. I for one am very pleased for you.
The seeds of the ORDERS OF DISCORDIA were planted by Greyface into his early disciples. They form the skeleton of the Aneristic Movement, which over-emphasizes the Principle of Order and is antagonistic to the necessary compliment.

Toenail in Tail - anyone else?
I took Boo to the vet yesterday because she had a strange appendage seemingly growing out of her tail. The vet was flabbergasted, it was actually a toenail growing out of her tail! Has this happened to anyone else? The vet was able to remove it, but will it grow back?

Re: Toenail in Tail - anyone else?
Ewww creepy! You should have made pictures. Definitely interesting.
My sister actually had a growth removed from an ovary when she was in her twenties. Her doctors told her it actually had teeth in it??? I thought that so weird too. The strangest stuff is possible.

Re: Toenail in Tail - anyone else?
Glad I entertained, sorry I creeped some out. Although I didn't take photos, the nail now sits in a jar in my house. Boo actually gained 10+ pounds since her last check-up (she's 4 years old) and the vet tech joked that she might be growing another dog inside of her!

One Pot Cooking with Marco Pierre White and Knorr
Marco showed us how a Knorr stock pot doesn't have to be diluted with water, just use your imagination.....
Depending of course on what you're cooking, you can use fresh carrot, apple, or prune juice either on their own or in a combination with wine or cider.
Knorr stock pots are quite marvelous things! If you've never tried them before you really should give them a go. There's no need to faff about making your own stock ever again as they really do taste like 'proper' stock.
In just a couple of minutes you have freshly made stock to use in any recipe requiring stock.
Marco first made Pumpkin Soup which was delicious.
The risotto was totally yummy and we all loved his idea of adding the peelings of the asparagus to the pan with the Knorr stock pot as it was brought to heat to add even more flavour.
He then passed it through a sieve to remove the unwanted peelings and then used the stock in the usual manner. It may not sound too amazing but it really makes a difference to the stock pot adding another depth of flavour.
Marco explained how by adding flavours in layers as you cook you a much more professional, tastier dish will be the end result.
Marco added the precooked asparagus tips at the very end of cooking, resulting in a greener fresher taste and look.
Now, as if we hadn't all had enough to eat, we once again returned to the kitchen to watch Marco make a really easy creamy Roast Chicken Casserole!
Don't be afraid to try new things. Cooking should be fun!

Roasted Butternut and Cumin Soup with Crispy Chorizo
Wednesday, 13 January 2010
Mulligatawney Soup
There are so many variations of Mulligatawney soup you would not believe!
This is Gordon Ramsay's version, to which I added a good handful of cooked and finely chopped roast beef left over from the Sunday roast. I also used medium heat curry powder and not mild - I like a bit of heat!
Print this Recipe
His book says to add 150g cooked rice but I think that must be a printing error as it would end up like porridge. We really liked this recipe but when I make it again, I will use beef stock as I think the colour would have been more to the kind of Mulligatawney soup I've had in the past.
To serve 4 you will need:
a big knob of butter
2 onions - peeled and chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp tomato purée 2 or 3 tbsp of curry powder - medium heat
a good handful of finely diced and cooked beef - left over from the Sunday roast
2 tbsp plain flour
2 or 3 tbsp ginger - grated
1 green apple - peeled and grated
400ml chicken stock
400ml tin of coconut milk
60g cooked long grain rice
To Serve:
a few fresh coriander leaves
a dollop of sour cream for each bowl
chunks of nice freshly baked bread
Melt the butter in a pan and add the onions and some seasoning. Cook the onions for about 10 minutes, until they begin to soften, but don't let them colour too much.Add the tomato purée, curry powder and the flour. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it smells delicious.
Now add the ginger and apple and stir over a high heat for a few minutes. Deglaze the pan with the stock, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to remove any bits.
Add the coconut milk and simmer until thickened.
Just before serving, add the rice and make sure it's nicely heated though and then season generously to taste.
Pour into bowls, add a dollop of soured cream and a few coriander leaves.
Now get the bread at the ready and dunk it in!

Nice and Spicy Tomato and Red Lentil Soup
To make about 6 bowls you will need:
340g red lentils - get the ones that have no need to soak first
a good glug of olive oil
2 medium onions - diced
1 celery stalk - diced
4 cloves garlic - chopped finely
1 x 400g can of good quality tinned tomatoes
900 ml vegetable stock - made from 2 Knorr vegetable stock cubes
2 teaspoons of Tabasco sauce
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 and a half teaspoons cayenne pepper
1teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
a good pinch or two of crushed chillies - depending on your taste
Double cream to serve - if you want to be all fancy that is
Put the lentils and 900ml of water into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Now turn off the heat.
Put a lid ob the saucepan an leave the lentils covered for about 20 minutes to absorb some of the water.
While that's happening, heat the olive oil in big stockpot or large saucepan.
Add the onions, and cook over a low heat for about 10 minutes, until they are nice and soft. But be careful not to let them brown.
Now add the celery and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until soft.
Stir in the Tabasco, turmeric, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper and crushed chillies. Let it cook just for 30 seconds whilst stirring so nothing burns. Now pour in the tomatoes along with their juice and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the vegetable stock and 250ml of water.
Cover and bring to a simmer - if you think the soup is too thick add a little more water.
Drain the lentils, discarding the water and add just over half of the lentils to the pot. Using a (stick) blender or a jug blender, puree the soup till nice and smooth.
Now you can add the remaining lentils to the pot.
Turn the heat back on and simmer for about 20 minutes till nice and hot.
Serve with a drizzle of double cream and a few chilli flakes and nice crusty bread.

Really Yummy Leek Onion and Potato Soup
You will need - to serve 4:
3 leeks - washed and sliced into 1 inch chunks
3 medium potatoes - peeled and cubed into 3/4 of an inch pieces
1 medium onion - diced
50g butter
500ml chicken stock (has to be 'Knorr' says I as for some reason, 'Oxo' just is not the same for soup making)
250ml whole milk
salt and pepper to season
How to do it:
Melt the butter in a large saucepan. When the butter starts to foam, add the leeks, potatoes and onions. Keep the vegetables moving about until they are well coated with butter.
Add a little salt and a few grinds of pepper.
Now cover with a lid or some foil and let them cook over a gentle heat for about 15 minutes. You don't really want them to colour - just to cook through.
Meanwhile, put your kettle on to make the stock. When the vegetables are soft but not coloured add the stock and milk and continue to cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables are soft and nicely cooked through.
Have a taste to check for seasoning.
Now, let it cool a bit before you purée the soup in a blender or food processor. You may want to heat it up again in a clean saucepan, if you do then do so over a gentle heat taking care not to boil the soup.
Pour into bowls to serve. If you're going to be fancy like me, pour a little double cream into the middle of each bowl and top with a few snipped chives - getting posh aren't I?!!

DENVER (AP)—The Colorado Rockies needed a pick-me-up in the worst way.
Matt Holliday and Brad Hawpe delivered their best shots as the Rockies rallied from a three-run eighth-inning deficit against San Diego's stellar bullpen to beat the Padres 7-5 Monday night.
Greg Maddux was in line for his 341st career win until Holliday erased a 5-2 deficit with a no-doubt, 446-foot, three-run homer off right-hander Scott Linebrink (3-3).
Hawpe followed with a two-run, 418-foot shot off Cla Meredith that sent San Diego to its fourth straight loss.
Manny Corpas, earning a look as a low-cost alternative to injured three-time All-Star Brian Fuentes next season, pitched the ninth for his fifth save in five chances.
With Mike Cameron on deck, a runner on second and a 3-0 count on Brian Giles, Corpas dug down and threw three straight called strikes to end the game.
"That was a good finish for us tonight," said manager Clint Hurdle, still noticeably somber over the death 24 hours earlier of minor league coach Mike Coolbaugh, who was hit in the head by a line drive during a Double-A game in Arkansas.
Taylor Buchholz (5-3) pitched two shutout innings for the win.
Linebrink hit pinch-hitter Cory Sullivan and walked Kaz Matsui before Holliday sent a 1-1 change-up into the left-center seats, tying the game at 5 and taking Jeff Francis off the hook for his first loss since June 8 at Baltimore.
"I was trying to put Sullivan away with a fastball. Instead, I hit him and then I walked Matsui. You don't want to start innings like that," said Linebrink, who gave up four runs in 2-3 of an inning. "Then, I left a pitch up to Holliday and he hit it out. It was a change-up high in the zone. He notoriously doesn't hit change-ups.
"You can't give free bases like this, not here."
Hawpe sent Meredith's low-and-away slider into the left-field power alley.
"I would normally take the blame for giving up a home run, but this time I won't," Meredith said. "I tried to go low and away and that's where the pitch was. He went down and got it. Brad put a charge into one and hit it a long ways. That wasn't a bad pitch."
Backed by Milton Bradley's third homer and Kevin Kouzmanoff's 10th, Maddux left with a 5-2 lead after six spectacular innings in which he yielded two runs and five hits with no walks and two strikeouts.
Maddux also added a single and stole the 10th base of his 22-year major league career.
"I got a good pitch to run on," Maddux shrugged.
It was the second straight start in which Maddux left with a sizable lead but didn't get the win. In his last start, he pitched five scoreless innings and left with a 4-0 lead but the New York Mets tied the game in the eighth on David Wright's three-run homer, also off Linebrink. The Padres won that game, 5-4.
Before the game, the Rockies held a moment of silence to honor Coolbaugh, who was killed by a line drive Sunday night in Little Rock, Ark., while coaching first base for the Double-A Tulsa Drillers.
Coolbaugh joined the Drillers on July 3, and Hurdle chatted with him the next day about balancing the demands of baseball and family. Coolbaugh left behind two young boys and a pregnant wife.
Bradley broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth when he sent a curveball from Francis 365 feet over the left-field corner for his third homer of the year.
The Rockies got one of the runs back in the bottom of the inning on Yorvit Torrealba's fielder's choice grounder, but Kouzmanoff's homer that traveled an estimated 430 feet into the rock pile in center field in the sixth made it 5-2.
Francis gave up five earned runs and 10 hits with one walk in six innings.
The Rockies tied it at 1 in the second when they ended two ignominious streaks on Garrett Atkins' run-scoring single.
They hadn't scored in 21 innings and were coming off a dismal four-game series at Washington in which they went 0-for-28 with runners in scoring position, becoming the first team to go an entire series with that many hitless at-bats since Montreal in 1991.
They were even-keeled after the game, their first against a division opponent since May 27, but Hawpe said the Rockies, who have hovered around .500 all season, realize this is their time to make a run.
"The clock's ticking. Sand's running out," he said. "We've got to play good and be able to beat teams like that if we're going to be the team we want to be."
Maddux's last swipe of a base came Sept. 30, for the Dodgers against the Giants. … Francis is 9-1 in 15 starts since May 7.

Sublime Sangakkara fuels Sri Lanka's charge
To go from 78 for 5 to 356 requires something special. On Sunday (January 4), that 'something special' was Kumar Sangakkara, who stole the show with a brilliant 203 to give Sri Lanka the upper hand on the second day of the second Test against New Zealand in Wellington. It was Sangakkara's 10th highest score and his 11th double century, putting him one behind Sir Don Bradman for the most double tons in Test cricket. Sri Lanka was bowled out for 356, a 135-run lead, and at stumps in their second innings New Zealand was 22 without loss, still trailing by 113, with Hamish Rutherford on 12 and Tom Latham on 9. Sangakkara had failed in the first Test in… Read More →

SETI programs have picked up tantalizing radio signals. Could some of these signals represent genuine transmissions from ET?
Anybody who has experienced a momentary disruption in a cell phone conversation knows that the first task is to verify that the other party is still on the line. Researchers who search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) have found themselves in a similar situation. On a number of occasions they have appeared to be on the tantalizing brink of making first contact with another civilization, only to be unable to verify whether they have found a real signal.
For instance, in August 1977 the Ohio State University "Big Ear" radio telescope picked up what appeared to be a booming ET transmission. Project volunteer Jerry Ehman, who first noticed the powerful signal on a computer printout, was so excited that he scribbled "Wow!" on the paper record of the observation.
More recently, the Planetary Society's Megachannel Extraterrestrial Assay (META) SETI project, operated by Paul Horowitz and colleagues at the Oak Ridge Observatory in Massachusetts, picked up 11 transmissions that exhibit all the hallmarks of being genuine ET signals. Intriguingly, these 11 candidate transmissions tended to be located in or near the plane of the Milky Way's disk, just as one might expect if the transmissions originated from stars in our galaxy.
Unfortunately, all attempts to verify these META candidates or the Wow! signal (or similar candidates from other SETI programs) have failed. As Carl Sagan wrote, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." Without more evidence, SETI researchers are unwilling to cite these candidates as evidence of ET transmissions. Before dismissing these candidates too hastily, however, we should consider whether they might represent real ET transmissions that were not subsequently verified because they were modified en route to Earth.

Join Bi Latin Men
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Bi Latin Men might not be exactly what you'd expect it to be. When the term bisexual is used in porn, I normally picture two dudes and a lady in a threesome. Sometimes the chick isn't really part of the action, but she's always lurking somewhere in the frame. This site does have its female performers here and there. However, most of the time, the Latinos are in solo or men-only scenes.
These Latin studs look rough and tough, often with tattoos, piercings and gangbanger-inspired urban street wear. Regardless of how these models might define their sexuality in their private lives, they come across as straight or bi on screen on BiLatinMen. However, some of them sure get into the sucking dick and butt fucking equally convincingly.
They claim updates are five times a week, but nothing is dated and sometimes they could be adding a clip or a photo set instead. For now, we'll assume that they're at least weekly. There are 626 videos and the newer ones deliver good-quality playback. Further back in the updates, you'll find a few high-def flicks and many more vids that are average in quality or below that level.
I should tell you that sometimes a video might be marked 900k and in fact end up having a much higher bit rate when you actually downloaded it. There are usually multiple options for each scene meant to be streamed, but because they simply open whatever player you have installed on your computer rather than displaying in an embedded player we can't really call it streaming.
Solo scenes are often short at only about six minutes. The sucking and fucking sessions can last well over half an hour. I appreciate that you'll see some bareback action and I don't just mean raw dick sinking deep into wet pussy. No, we're talking hunky hombres pumping their fat naked erections inside their male amigos' butts.
There are 731 photo galleries and most are found in the general picture section. However, there is another area called "hot stuff" dedicated to shoots based on members' requests. In both sections, a photo gallery sometimes includes extras along with the photos. You might find some desktop wallpaper, screensavers and jigsaw puzzles. There are no Zip files to download the sets, but all the pics are crisp and professional.
There are no bonus sites. However, you will find some onsite extras such as 385 sets of erotic art and toons, over 600 erotic stories that are supposedly true tales of bisexual debauchery and links to things like a message board, live chat and more. Bi Latin Men has some hot, exclusive smut you won't find elsewhere.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Me want to kill! In what is likely (and
sadly) an accurate satire on how the media view gamers, ExtraLife's Scott Johnson took in 40% of the popular
vote this week, thus earning the honor of having the best webcomic of the week--it's almost
as prestigous and being knighted in France!
2nd place goes to Press Start to Play for having Einstein fly an Arwing
(25%), and Ctrl Alt Del smashes more than a few
Xbox 360 controllers to claim 3rd place (17%). Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any
game-related webcomics you happen to find this week, via the comment section below or dropping us a tip here.

Any recommendations for a white wine for white sangria?
Something dry, unassertive and unoaked, like a pinot grigio.
Riesling, not too sweet as you're adding "sweet" to it... Try Kabinett or a Halb-Trocken
For a sparkling twist, try Moscato d'Asti.
When I make tisana, I use semi-seco cava. If you use a drier cava/champagne, then you may need to compensate by adding some sugar.

The plain old idli's different avatar
Cooking instructions
Soak the dals and rice separately for three-four hours.
Coarsely grind the dals first with a little water, then coarsely grind the soaked rice.
Mix the batter to a thicker than dosa batter consistency.
Add salt, and allow it to ferment for eight hours or overnight.
Before steaming it, season the batter with cumin seeds, pepper, ginger, curry leaves, asafoetida roasted in ghee and oil mixture.
The batter can be steamed in idli trays or in a deep vessel until well cooked.
Idlis can be served with any chutney, but tastes best with idli chilli powder.
