American Life in Poetry: Rental Tux
Here's an experience that I'd guess most of the men who read this column have had, getting into a rental tuxedo. Bill Trowbridge, a poet from Missouri, does a fine job of picturing that particular initiation rite.
Rental Tux
It chafed like some new skin we'd grown,
or feathers, the cummerbund and starched collar
pinching us to show how real this transformation
into princes was, how powerful we'd grown

FACTS & STATS: Site: Wright State Nutter Center (11,000) -- Dayton, Ohio. Television: None. Home Record: Milwaukee 4-3, WSU 9-1. Away Record: Milwaukee 6-3, WSU 2-8. Neutral Record: Milwaukee 3-1, WSU 1-0. Conference Record: Milwaukee 3-3, WSU 4-2. Series Record: Milwaukee leads, 24-22.
GAME NOTES: Horizon League foes who will be facing each other twice in a span of nine days, the Milwaukee Panthers get their first look at the Wright State Raiders tonight at the Nutter Center.
The Raiders were in action on Sunday, hitting the road where they were just 1-8 prior to meeting up with Cleveland State, but the squad broke through again as they claimed a narrow 49-46 win over the Vikings. The win was the third in the last four outings for the program.
Meanwhile, the Panthers fell to an even 3-3 in conference play on Saturday when they absorbed a 75-62 loss against Valparaiso on the road. Still, Milwaukee has already exceeded last year's win total after it finished a mere 8-24. With one more victory in conference play the Panthers will also surpass that total from 2012-13 as well (3-13).
In a relationship that dates back to 1977, the Panthers lead Wright State by just two games in the all-time series, 24-22. The teams are slated to meet up again on Milwaukee's home floor on Jan. 30.
If the Panthers thought they had a hard time finding the basket in the first half against Valpo on Saturday, hitting on only 35.5 percent, there's no way they could have been prepared for the final 20 minutes of the meeting when they converted just 9-of-31 (.290), including a dismal 2-of-16 behind the 3- point line. Matt Tiby scored a team-best 22 points and pulled down eight rebounds, followed by Jordan Aaron with 13 points in the losing cause.
Generating 72.7 ppg, while giving up 70.9 ppg on the season, the Panthers follow the lead set by Tiby with his 14.6 ppg on 47.4 percent shooting from the floor. He is also the leading scorer for the squad with 6.7 rpg, but still the Panthers are trailing the opposition on the glass by an average of 3.3 rpg. Aaron is responsible for 13.4 ppg and Kyle Kelm 12.3 ppg, the latter also lending a hand in the paint with 5.3 rpg, which should be more than enough reason for him to refrain from shooting too much from 3-point range where he is only 27.3 percent accurate.
Jerran Young scored 10 points off the bench as Wright State squeezed out a narrow win over Cleveland State two days ago. Young converted 4-of-9 shots from the floor for the Raiders, but he was the only player on the team to score in double figures. Matt Vest led the starters with nine points, while Cole Darling came up with eight rebounds and seven points, but shot just 1- of-9 from the field. Wright State, which led by as many as 13 points in the second half, shot a mere 1-of-10 behind the 3-point line in the period.
Through 21 games, the Raiders have only one player scoring in double figures on the average, with AJ Pacher putting up 10.4 ppg, thanks to 61.4 percent shooting from the floor. Also responsible for 4.9 rpg, Pacher's numbers could be even stronger if not for the fact that he has picked up enough personal fouls to be disqualified on six occasions. Luckily, Wright State's defense has held foes to 61.2 ppg and that's what has allowed the Raiders to come out ahead more often than not.
Wright State may be tough at home this season, but at the same time the Panthers know how to play well on the road, which should make for an interesting meeting in the Buckeye State tonight.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Milwaukee 67, Wright State 62

NFL Licensees Offer A Preview Of Pop-Up Store In N.Y. Opening Next Month
Published March 29, 2012
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE EXCITEMENT: Kane said that the NFL ad licensees were sharing risk on the store, which is being operated by agency MKTG. "When the Draft went primetime two years, all the indicators zoomed up, but we had limited retail space there. Here, we can really take advantage of the excitement. ... I don't know that we'll do this every year, but for kickoff of next season, which will be here, and the Super Bowl in 22 months, you'll probably see us do something." As for a more permanent retail storefront, like the NBA and NHL Manhattan storefronts, Kane said, "There's always people asking, but this is more about taking advantage of a particular event than anything permanent and it's a testimony to how big the draft has become."

Landscape designer in or near Merced, CA 95341?
Hi all,
I am looking for someone in or near Merced, CA 95341 who can help me landscape my yard and make it look beautiful. I am looking for someone who will also guide me along the way and show me how to take care of my yard once he or she has designed it and also take into consideration the kinds of plants I like; I'd like a drought resistant garden also. My entire yard, front and back, is about an acre total and the whole thing needs revitalization. I'm still going to call around but am afraid if I call any ol' landscaper, they will just do an average job, putting in the usual plants everyone else has that looks common/boring.
I'm also looking for someone to fix my deck so if you know of anyone please let me know.
I'm in merced and if you reply I will message you.

I think it be important you have some design first.you show the design pics to any landscapers,they give you price,you select a landscaper.
I think Merced might be a tad out of the way for our resident CA designers (they are in the Bay area) but maybe you'll hear from them with a personal recommendation. But barring that, I'd contact your local chapter of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD). CA has a very active chapter and it's as close as you are going to get to any kind of certification for a landscape designer.
If possible, it's important to speak to more than one designer before deciding. A successful landscape design involves a very close interaction between the designer and the homeowner and you need to be sure that A) you are both on the same page and B) there is a feeling of free communication and rapport.
I wouldn't put much stock in the previous listings provided :-) Our friend is not even in this country and to be perfectly honest, has little idea of what's involved in a successful landscape design. That was obviously a list turned up by a search engine.
Here is a link that might be useful: APLD - California chapter
You might want to try contacting Merced College. They have a Landscape Horticulture program that includes design as part of the curriculum and possibly there are graduates of the program they refer. Other than that, checking with local nurseries or garden centers may turn up some names....otherwise you may be forced to let your fingers do the walking :-)
I'd suggest driving or walking your neighborhood and if you see a landscape you like, leave a note at the door, or knock on the door(weekends are better in this case), and leave your name and number and mention that you liked their landscaping, and could they tell you who designed/installed it.
I might also recommend that you look at the UC Davis Arboretum website, and in particular, there list of 100 top plant picks for Sacramento Valley gardens, at:
I'd also recommend that you look at the new Bob Perry book titled "Landscape Plants for California Gardens", which really addresses plant selections based on your local climate and soil conditions.
I've done some limited design work in Modesto for the parents of some of my Oakland hills clients, and know that there are some beautiful gardens in Modesto, so there must be some good local landscape designers and landscape architects locally. What was surprising to me was to see how well things such as Coast Redwoods and Windmill Palms do in Modesto, and some parts of town obviously benefit from the extremely rich and deep top soil and relatively high water table in town.
A bit far for me to be interested in doing an installation out there, but if you can't find anyone locally, repost again here and let me know that you are interested in design services, as I seldom check emails at my secondary listed email for the Gardenweb.
It would help you in selecting a designer if you had a good idea of what your budget to install is, and what you are comfortable paying for a design. If you haven't landscaped before, you may be surprised to find out what it would cost to landscape an acre of grounds.
You might also put the word out to your friends and neighbors for recommendations on contractors for repairing a deck, and/or landscape installation and design.
I will include a link to photos of my own work, from the website for Annie's Annuals nursery, in case you are interested. Most of these gardens are for Sunset zone 16/17 conditions rather than Merced's zone 14 climate, but I have also designed plenty of drought tolerant gardens for valley conditions. Here's the Flickr photo link:
good luck with your project

This recipe calls for an 8 inch tart pan. I only have a 10 inch tart pan. Any suggestions? I don't have time to go buy a new pan! I am considering increasing the recipe by 25% and cooking it a little longer. Is this a good idea?
Diana B is a trusted home cook.
I don't know the answer to your question, but I was intrigued enough to look up the recipe; I love the instruction to cook until the tart is set and won't "giggle at all." ;)
Barbara is a trusted source on General Cooking.
You could use an 8 inch cake pan if you have one-- I make flourless chocolate cake in a springform pan. A 10 inch pan of the same height has about 33% more volume than an 8 inch pan, so if you use it, increase the ingredients by a third ( the ratio is the radii of the pans squared or 16 to 25).

3/28/2015I want it to determine whether where ever I go and not to have to manually put in the location.
3/28/2015Like the old version much better, no ads and more adequate location. Wish I could get old version
3/28/2015Can't save my home address. It asks for me to enter every time I start it. How can I save it?
3/28/2015Very useful, thanks.
3/28/2015Impossible to get the right location.
3/28/2015Can't create an account and halving to pull up radar on my windows phone
3/27/2015Love ❤
3/27/2015The app is fairly accurate although the live tile has some very wrong information sometimes.
3/27/2015The update is okay but the live tiles do not update like they did in prior versions, major loss of functionality to me.
3/27/2015This was the only weather app I ever used prior to the "update" - now have 2others we that are more useful . Virtually every change you made is for the worse . Long term forecast ( 10 days,) with graph was so perfect if going on vacation etc . Really don't use this,app any longer with exception of radar occasionally

Ted Lilly eager to make his season debut for Dodgers
April 13, 2012
By Dylan Hernandez
Ted Lilly has waited for more than a week to make his season debut. To him, it's felt substantially longer. "It's not like I missed a ton of starts, but it feels like I missed a few," Lilly said. He's missed one, to be exact. Lilly will make his season debut Saturday against the San Diego Padres. "It's been fun watching us win," Lilly said. "At some point, we'd all like to be a part of what's going on. " A stiff neck threw off Lilly's throwing program in spring training, which, in turn, forced the left-hander to start the season on the disabled list.
The really, really early Dodgers review
April 9, 2012
By Steve Dilbeck
Hey, what's not to love about 3-1 start on the road? A team will take that any time. And to be sure, there was plenty to like about the way the Dodgers opened the season in San Diego. Which is not the same as liking it all. Some positives: -- Easily the best thing to happen to the Dodgers this weekend was the performance of Chad Billingsley. His start in the second game might have been the finest performance of his five-year career. He was aggressive from the get-go, threw strikes and was in complete command.
Dodgers start new ownership era by hanging on for 7-6 win
May 1, 2012
By Steve Dilbeck
Guggenheim Baseball Management, greatest owners in baseball history. Or something like that. Anyway, they are undefeated. In the first game under the new ownership, the Dodgers jumped all over the Rockies on Tuesday night and then had to absolutely hang on for a 7-6 victory in Denver that featured three L.A. home runs -- and not one that came from Matt Kemp. The taut game was finally turned over to struggling closer Javy Guerra in the ninth inning, who survived a nervous inning to earn his eighth save.
Dodgers finish sweep of Pirates with 3-2 win
April 12, 2012
By Dylan Hernandez
How the Dodgers will fare against the National League's top teams remains a mystery. But one week into the regular season, this much is already clear: They can dominate teams short on talent, experience and money. The Dodgers completed a three-game sweep of the severely underfunded Pittsburgh Pirates with a 3-2 victory on Thursday night, improving their major league-leading record to 6-1. Next to visit Dodger Stadium will be the even worse San Diego Padres, from whom the Dodgers took three of four games in their season-opening series at Petco Park.
Andre Ethier adjusts, and improves, at plate
June 25, 2012
By Dylan Hernandez, Los Angeles Times
Andre Ethier started to hit his way out of his season-worst slump over the last three days in Anaheim, going six for 11 with two runs, two doubles and two walks in the series against the Angels. Ethier entered the series hitting .171 this month. "I don't think I'm quite back where I want to be, but, at the same time, it's just going up there and focusing what each individual at-bat calls for you to do," Ethier said. In particular, he was referring to how teams are pitching him differently with Matt Kemp out of the lineup.
Dodgers let another early lead slip away in 5-3 loss to Arizona
July 7, 2012
By Steve Dilbeck
Here's a pattern the Dodgers want to avoid: Jumping out in front only for their starting pitcher to give it all back. It looked familiar Saturday when another early lead came and went for the Dodgers in their 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks. For the second consecutive game, the Dodgers took the early lead, only to watch the Diamondbacks come from behind. The best news for the Dodgers came before the game even started, when they learned the Giants had already lost. Despite losing to the Diamondbacks, the Dodgers maintained their half-game lead in the National League West.
Picking up Brandon League doesn't mean Dodgers are done dealing
July 30, 2012
By Steve Dilbeck
Brandon League is coming, but who's going? The Dodgers announced their trade for the veteran right-handed reliever after Monday's game, but not how they would make room for him on their roster. They don't have to make the actual move until League arrives Tuesday. History says one reason for delaying the corresponding move on the eve of the nonwaiver trading deadline is the Dodgers are still working on another trade. A current reliever could be part of still another deal prior to Tuesday's 1 p.m. trade deadline.
Dodgers commit four errors in 13-3 loss to Rockies
June 1, 2012
By Steve Dilbeck
It's an official spiral now, and not just because the losses are piling up, though they certainly are. Now it's the way the Dodgers are losing, which Friday night meant simply giving a game away. The Dodgers committed four errors in suffering their fifth consecutive defeat, this one an unsightly 13-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies in Denver. Until this skid, the Dodgers had not lost more than two consecutive games all season. But they're injury-riddled and playing youngsters and guys out of position, and coupled with an early-morning arrival to Denver, the Dodgers were a world away from sharp.
Josh Wall gets a chance, a win, and a ticket out
July 22, 2012
By Dylan Hernandez
NEW YORK -- Relief pitcher Josh Wall is expected to be sent back to triple-A Albuquerque on Monday when the Dodgers activate starter Chad Billingsley from the 15-day disabled list. Wall had been wondering whether he would pitch in a game before then. He was called up to the major leagues for the first time on July 14, but the closest he came was warming up a couple times. Until Sunday. With the score tied. In the 11th inning. Wall earned a victory in his major league debut, as he pitched a scoreless 11th inning and the Dodgers scored five times in the top of the 12th to beat the New York Mets, 8-3. "Pretty cool, pretty amazing experience," Wall said.
Dodgers launch rare comeback in ninth to beat St. Louis, 2-1
August 22, 2011
By Jim Peltz
Reporting from St. Louis — For eight innings, the St. Louis Cardinals' veteran pitcher Chris Carpenter extended his career-long mastery over the Dodgers while clinging to a one-run lead Monday night at Busch Stadium. But then Carpenter hit the Dodgers' Juan Rivera with a pitch to start the ninth inning, and by the time it ended, the Dodgers had scored twice to win, 2-1, after key plays involving a former Cardinal now with the Dodgers and a current Cardinal who just left the Dodgers.

We expect IPv6 to be a very hot topic in 2011. According to all but the most optimistic forecasts, we'll run out of IPv4 addresses this year. Oddly enough, IPv6 isn't very popular at the moment: only a small percentage of the domains we encounter on a daily basis provide an AAAA record. Very few clients can actually access IPv6-only servers, and virtually no clients are IPv6 only. The online world seems oblivious to the impending doom caused by IPv4 shortage.
OpenPanel can be accessed through IPv6, courtesy of Pound, the SSL proxy we use to secure the interface. All features are IPv6-compatible. IPTables allows for IPv6-specific rules since version 1.0.2 of that module. Unfortunately, the openpanel-cli client has remote server support which is currently limited to IPv4.
We intend to drop Pound for 1.1, with OpenPanel taking care of its own SSL and IPv6 connections. Once that is done, openpanel-cli will support IPv6, too. So for the purists among us: OpenPanel 1.1 will be fully IPv6 compliant.

Any idea when openpanel 1.1 will be released by?
Hello folks,
You seem to have a nice panel, though I've never tried, but was searching through web in finding something for a server.
Hope you get the 1.1 in some days and I'll look into it ! Good job, folks !
Also, I'm a designer, so if you need some help in details, drop me a line.

Gallery: Sublime Ribbon-Like Knot House Offers an Ecological Island Esc...
According to the architects, the design for Knot House was inspired by "imagining a surface made of landscape, which eventually folds into a knot to create an enclosure." Although small in volume, the unique layout of the resort manages to provide a serene, private atmosphere strongly connected to the surrounding natural landscape. The "knotted" design offers the optimal privacy for guests but manages to avoid a cold, isolated atmosphere found in many luxury resorts.
Related: 7 Gorgeous Eco Resorts For a Green Escape
In creating a small resort hidden up in the cliffs, the resort offers a small number of guests a new "ecological lifestyle." The intimate seaside retreat offers four small guest rooms, a common room and a swimming pool, along with expansive views and a terraced garden where guests can pick fresh herbs to make tea. Adjacent to the garden is a large sunken bathtub submerged into the surrounding landscape, creating a perfect private spot for relaxation and reflection.
At the moment, the Knot House only has four guest rooms, but the architects designed the layout with the possibility of converting the guest spaces into permanent residences in the future. The architects explain, "The design took account of adaptability throughout the life span of the building from a guest unit to a fully-functioning residence."

BRYANT- After trailing nearly the whole game, the Bryant Lady Hornets battled back to a hard-fought 35-34 victory over Mount Saint Mary Academy on Tuesday night at the Bryant Gym. The Lady Hornets improve to 2-1 on the year.
"I thought our kids played well," Bryant Coach Brad Matthews said. "We found a way down the stretch to fight back."
Bryant was led by junior guard Dezarea Duckworth, who finished the night with 20 points and grabbed six rebounds. Senior post player Whitney Meyer played a huge part in the rebounding game with eight boards to go along with two points.
The Benton Panthers got off to their second consecutive 8-0 scoring start in defeating the Searcy Lions 59-39 at Benton Arena on Tuesday night. The Panthers also got off to an 8-0 start in their 68-43 win against Beebe in the first game of the year last week.
The 2012 high school basketball season could not have gotten off to a much better start for the Harmony Grove Lady Cardinals. Sitting at 3-1 heading into the Thanksgiving break, the Lady Cardinals have put together stellar shooting nights while play excellent defense on the other end.
Senior guard Lauren Dempsey has been a huge spark in the starting role for the team, averaging 15 points per game including a 19 and 21point showing so far this young season.
A Benton Panther tournament team made up of all sixth graders had an impressive run in a tournament at Lake Hamilton High school on Saturday, Nov. 10. From the Future Panthers program, the team of 20 total kids ran through the tournament, playing three games in one day, without surrendering a point.
The Benton sixth graders took down Hot Springs in the morning game 52-0, blew out Sheridan 40-0 in the afternoon game, and shut out Star City in the championship game 20-0 to take the first-place trophy.

The people who keep track of these things report that global spam traffic dropped from 200 billion messages in August to just 50 billion in December. Unfortunately it appears that the spammers may have decided to pause their activity before a relaunch. Which is just as well because we're running low on Canadian Viagra.

A new method for noninvasive assessment of tear film surface quality (TFSQ) is proposed. The method is based on high-speed videokeratoscopy in which the corneal area for the analysis is dynamically estimated in a manner that removes videokeratoscopy interference from the shadows of eyelashes but not that related to the poor quality of the precorneal tear film that is of interest. The separation between the two types of seemingly similar videokeratoscopy interference is achieved by region-based classification in which the overall noise is first separated from the useful signal (unaltered videokeratoscopy pattern), followed by a dedicated interference classification algorithm that distinguishes between the two considered interferences. The proposed technique provides a much wider corneal area for the analysis of TFSQ than the previously reported techniques. A preliminary study with the proposed technique, carried out for a range of anterior eye conditions, showed an effective behavior in terms of noise to signal separation, interference classification, as well as consistent TFSQ results. Subsequently, the method proved to be able to not only discriminate between the bare eye and the lens on eye conditions but also to have the potential to discriminate between the two types of contact lenses.

STP's BLOG 11/14/13 "Best Birthday Song!"
by STP
posted Nov 14 2013 7:49AM
How cool is this? Jimmy Kimmel recently celebrated a birthday, and he got the coolest gift ever…a song written for him by The Killers! This is a fun watch, check it out:
Thanks to Nic on Facebook for posting this on the STP-CAST Group page…Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day has made a record with Norah Jones & it's nothing like you would think. I am sure many will hate it, but I LOVE this song…Billie Joe always delivers, no matter what style of music it is.
There are lots of bad habits we all WISH we could break. A recent survey found that smoking is the number one habit people WANT to break, but can't. Here's the top ten.
1. Smoking
2. Swearing
3. Picking your nose
4. Biting your fingernails
5. Drinking too much coffee
6. Watching reality TV
7. Fast food
8. Alcohol
9. Going shopping to relieve stress
10. Racking up debt on your credit cards
What about you? What is a habit you wish you could end? Or what's a habit you wish others would stop doing? Here are some of the texts we got:
I wish I could stop smelling my farts and enjoying them but I can't
When I scratch yet I have to sniff it no matter what it is don't like it but can't help it
Chewing is the hardest I would say even harder than quitting smoking
I can't stop cleaning my ears with q-tips. I know it's terrible for your ears, and I've probably shoved wax all up against my eardrums, but it feels so good
Cracking knuckles
Browsing the net while taking a twosie. Wastes so much time on the John.
I need to break the habit of picking up fat chicks after the bar closes.
I cuss too much, and now my 2 year old is starting to copy me. The problem is that it's extra hard during football season!
I get up in the middle of the night and I eat, I don't know why, but I have a really hard time trying to stop, most of the time, I'm not even hungry.
I have a co worker that chews. The skin on her fingers right below her nails and makes her fingers bleed from chewing..... Wish that'd stop!!!
The wife leaving a damn empty toilet paper roll!!!

-- Carl Muckenhoupt
A Brief Flash
The story packs a huge punch for such a small game, covering as it does themes of hope for humanity and for the individual. (Jonathan Rosebaugh)
See the full review
Post-apocalyptic IF? There hasn't been any, in my memory -- A Mind Forever Voyaging is the only thing that comes close -- but there's no reason why there couldn't be, and Nate Cull's Glowgrass, small but well-conceived, is certainly an interesting attempt. Though the game itself has some flaws, the story is intriguing enough to make it enjoyable. (Duncan Stevens)
See the full review
>VERBOSE -- Paul O'Brian's Interactive Fiction Page
Glowgrass is a well-written game with a pleasantly creepy aura, a pleasurable way to spend a couple of hours and hopefully a prelude to more quality work.

There are some parsing hiccups along the way, but I found they were mostly surrounding one particular game item, (Spoiler - click to show)the cable. However, the parser does helpfully provide the correct verb if you try to take the object but can't manipulate it. (Spoiler - click to show)"Attach" and "connect," plus related antonyms, should have been implemented, but the problem can also be solved by referring to specific sockets you want to put the cable in. The real trouble with the gameplay is more about having to perform actions one by one. Like, you can't just head in the direction of a door. You have to perform each step individually, which is rather annoying after getting used to more modern games.
Jerkiness aside, the game was still easy enough to get through with no hints and my only major complaint is really that the story is kind of unresolved. I'm a bit confused about the ending. The author says material had to be cut out to make the game fit the parameters of the competition, and perhaps the story resolution was that material, but I'd be interested in seeing an epilogue.
The environment is pretty small, and the puzzles for the most part are quite simple - though as another reviewer mentioned, there are some flaws in the implementation. For example, if you throw x at y, you are told that you can't reach y with just your hands! (Spoiler - click to show)The really irritating part is that you ARE supposed to throw x at y... but if you specify the target, you're screwed.
The conversational mechanic is also a little unintuitive - if you're having trouble, just realize there's an ABOUT keyword, and it's crucial.
If you don't get caught on the rough edges in the mechanics, Glowgrass will probably only take you 15 or 30 minutes to finish, if that. It's worth playing.
Trying to (Spoiler - click to show)plug things in or connect them is a well-known problem with this game (see prior reviews). If you use the word "connect" by itself, you'll get a loverly TADS error. And if you type "HINTS", guess what? There aren't any! However, the ABOUT tells you that this game is not a puzzle-fest, but a story. That's cold comfort when you're left wondering what to do with the objects that you can't fit together in any way.
There are a few interesting moments that I was able to discover, but they don't make up for the dispiriting and frustrating whole.
