I have posted 131 times in September (exact same number as August), including many cool videos as well as a few pictures from a recent trip to the zoo. This month I also started importing the best links I posted on Twitter over the day, in Tweetlinks.
In September I interviewed Victor Henning, John Wilbanks and Kevin Emamy.
At work, the most exciting news was the release of Article-Level Metrics at PLoS – Download Data. I announced the Blog Pick Of The Month and that PLoS ONE won the '09 ALPSP Award for Publishing Innovation!. Then I did an Interview with Dr.Derya Unutmaz, Section Editor for Immunology at PLoS ONE and told you about our cool new dinosaur paper.
Speaking of dinosarus, it was also the time to announce the Open Dinosaur Project.
I got a brand new Homepage and did some fiddling around with my About Me page here.
I got on the editorial board of the Journal of Science Communication.
I made the first big ScienceOnline2010 update, went on the radio to talk about it and announced a new sponsor and travel grants.
The best post of the month was Talkin' Trash about the reporting from the Northern Pacific Gyre.
Futurity.org, a new science news service was anounced, with mixed reactions from the twitterverse, which prompted me to ask what investigative science reporting is.
This month was also an important date in my life.
I went to Techie Tuesday and The Long Table and next is a concert by Leonard Cohen.
My HomepageMy homepage is at http://coturnix.org. It is temporarily stripped to minimal information, but more will come soon.

IcedTea's OpenJDK Passes Java Test Compatibility Kit 271
from the oh-joyous-day dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Man! Was that joke ever funning circa 1997...
Man! Was that joke ever funning circa 1997...
IcedTea only had to implement the 4% of Java that wasn't GPLed.
Although 4% doesn't sound like much, it's actually just short of 8 billion lines. It sounds unbelievable that they could accomplish that so quickly, but Java's strength is in making it easy to write large amounts of code.
So does C(++) because of all the memory leaks, every BASIC dialect because of interpreter overhead, Dotnet/Mono because it includes half of Windows, Python and Ruby because of all the objects, Lisp to store all the braces and Perl just because it can. PHP doesn't because nobody has tried it yet. ASM also doesn't because it always drops the processor back to 8080 emulation mode and can't address 2 GiB of RAM.Does this mean it consumes 2 GB of RAM to display "Hello World" ???
which is still a long way from the GP's 8 Gloc
AFAIK, GP was making a joke.

To complete this, you will need 5-10 minutes and the following:
Standard flat head screwdriver
#0 Phillips screw driver
A little common sense
Step 1: Disassembly
Using a standard flathead screwdriver
Gently twist the bottom plug until it releases
Gently remove the plug
Please note the tabs holding the plug in place are soft plastic and look like they will easily break.
Holding the body, push down on the metal shaft. Because of the seal it will take a little effort so I used side of the handle on my screw driver to break the seal and push it down.
Pull the internal assembly out
Step 2: Tighten metal shaft
Step 3: Battery
It appears that the battery is glued in place, but I think others have posted instructions on how to remove it.
Step 4: Reassembly
Push the internal assembly back into the body until rubber seal is flush with the top of the body
Push the plug straight in until it snaps into place
Attach brush head
Step 5: Test your work
If you really need brushing instructions you probably should not be using a Sonicare
That said, if get all the way to this step and are stuck, click the link below and scroll down to page 7
"FlexCareManual "
I got it out (use a very broad tip screwdriver!) and tightened it up, but then when putting it back in, the toothbrush turned on for a bit, then turned off and now will not turn back on again....did i short something out somewhere? I put the core on the basestation and it charges, but can't get the thing to turn back on again... Any suggestions?
Yup, same with me. Dropped mine accidently and the part of aluminium-cast seems to be broken. Anybody has an idea where to get these as replacements?
If you have all of the pieces you could try a 2 part epoxy or something like that? If that doesn't work then it is probably time for a new unit.
Hi Dave, right, Philips just wrote me... "please send it to one of our repair-shop for exchange"... at a cost naturally. I really hate this mentality of non maintainable products.It's awful.
Epoxy will not work IMO because of the mechanical stress this part is suffering.
Very helpful tip and good instructions. Worked like a charm. And then I fixed it again 2 days later, and today the screw came out again. I would like to know if there is a way to get a replacement screw -- or possibly the threads are loose where it is going. Has there been success with locking washers or any other fixes to hold these pieces together? Tx.
The repair worked perfectly , worked for a while then stopped again I took it apart again , put red lock tight on the threads of the screw and will try again ..I would however wright a small disclaimer telling people to be very carful unscrewing the end cap for the 1/4 turn , cause if you break the plastic locks you'll have a problem getting it back together !
If you locate the problem, please post a reply.
Good luck!

BLENDERS: Waring or Vita-Mix
Can anyone recommend a good professional-grade blender? A friend uses Vita-mix, but are they worth the 400+ price tag? What about Waring?
I have a vita mix and love it. It really crushes ice well and makes smoothies that are really smooth. My daiquiris have become famous since I purchased this machine LOL.
We drink green smoothies all the time now as well.
For me it was so worth the price. I bought it at Costco and got a bunch of freebies with it like an extra container so that was great.
There is also a yahoo group where you can get tons of info.
I have a Vita-mix and have to say it does a superior job, particlarly for crushing ice and making smoothies (just like loves2cook4six says). When I bought it six years ago there weren't as many choices and I wasn't aware of any other blenders that performed like it did. Is it worth the price tag? A lot of people here on GW are very happy with their warings - is there any chance you can get your hands on one to test it? If it's good enough for what you do, why not save some money?
Have a Vita-Mix and it is worth every penny! Wait for them to make their way over to Costco... I saved a bundle and got lots of "extras."
You can make more than just smoothies of course. Ice cream (yummy ICY ice cream, not all foamy), soup, sauces, homemade nut butters, chop veggies, grate cheese...
Go for it!! :)
another Vita-Mix fan here. we've had ours for almost 10 years and been very happy with it - primarily use it for smoothies. with the container on the motor base, it is tall. It is also pretty noisy. (in our previous kitchen, we kept the base, plugged in, in the walk-in pantry. that way, I could run it behind a closed door away from the kids' & DH's tender ears-heehee.)
i've never tried a Waring so i can't compare the two.
if i may indulge - we got our Vita-Mix for free. My IL's have several rental units and about 10 years ago rented to this "nice young couple with a baby" (MIL's words). they turned out to be inter-state bank robbers! (probably not the baby!) the feds trashed the apartment and confiscated the firearms (thank goodness they apprehended them outside the place), electronics and anything else "of value". guess no one thought that a blender could cost the same as the electronics 'cause they left the Vita-Mix! MIL already has one (the same one for almost 30 years, in fact) so we got it.
in summary, Vita-Mix: the criminals choice! :)
I also like our Vita Mix. We got it as a wedding gift and I thought it was a bit over the top but if anything were to happen to it I would replace it right away. I try to eat at least four tablespoons of flaxseed per day and I really like that I can put it whole in the VM and have it ground up along with the rest of my smoothie ingredients.
Another vote for Vita Mix here! We've had ours for about 3 years and use it every weekday morning for smoothies. It takes anything we can throw in there (whole unpeeled uncored apples) and grinds it to a very smooth puree. It's amazing. The price does seem "over the top" but we use ours literally every day and have never had a problem.
I did own a Waring blender once, but the Vita Mix is really in a different league than the Waring, which seems underpowered in comparison.
I know others love them, but I couldn't see $400 for a blender and didn't have the space to store a big monster. We got a Breville Icon -- not the top of the line, but the next one down because it actually got better reviews and fit our cabinet shelves better. Looks like Macy's has it on sale from time to time for 40-50% off. It is much quieter and blends very smoothly. I'm very happy with it.
LOL! I have an old fashioned (read "old") Oster. I don't grind or crush with it. Or make smoothies. It's made some good cocktails in its time...but since I got an immersion blender it doesn't do soups or anything either. Nope. I don't think I've used it in years.
Get the Vita-Mix.
Since Lascatx recommended her Breville ;-), I'll jump in and ask if you've looked at the BlendTec? I found them when researching VitaMix, and decided to go that direction instead. It is similar in power, etc. to the VitaMix (ours was $399 with 2 pitchers/blender jars), but shorter and squatter...So not only fits under the upper cabs, but is easier to scrape out. It is an amazing blender and we use ours several times daily for icy or frozen fruit smoothies...to supply the 10 of us, it gets a workout! Before buying, I talked to my niece, who manages coffee stores and she said they'd had both BlendTecs and VitaMixes for making their blended ice drinks, and both worked and lasted equally as well. Of course, I can't say I've had it for 30 years, but I hope we will. :-)
I've been leafing through a lot of raw cookbooks lately. Raw foodists prepare food without heat, so they rely heavily on blenders, juicers, food processors and dehydrators as their kitchen utensils.
Every raw food cookbook has a section at the front where they recommend which tools to buy. They pretty much unanimously recommend the following:
Blender = Vita-Mix, every single time.
Juicer = Champion, every single time.
Food Processor = varies
Dehydrator = Excalibur, every single time.
This isn't personal experience, but i'm sure if you invest in the Vita-Mix'er you wont regret it.
Vita-Mix hands down. I have a 25+ year old 3600 model that still goes strong. You can pick this model up used on ebay for around $100 usually. The 4000 model is similar, and also available used. If you go for a new model, buy direct from Vita-Mix, to be assured of getting the guarantee. BTW, you can get a smaller pitcher so it will fit under cabinets. Vita-Mix is a family owned company, and they have fabulous customer service. I would buy another if it ever stopped working, but there's no sign of that.
BLENDTEC ALL THE WAY! I have a BlendTec Connoisseur, it's the most amazing blender I've ever owned.
Another vote for BlendTec. I love mine. The old Oster always leaves chunks of ice. The blendTec can make ice into snow.
Here is a link that might be useful: BlendTec will it blend?
The Vitamix is definitely worth it! I've had several other brands through the years and none have even been comparable.
A Vitamix doesn't just blend, it pulverizes. It's a blender, juicer, food processor, and grinder in one. We use ours several times a day (we're raw foodists): smoothies, juices, soups, sauces, nut butters and milks, guacamole, frozen desserts...etc. and have never had a single complaint. This thing can literally handle anything you can throw in it. They also come with a free 7 year warranty in case you somehow manage to break it. (But it's built like a tank, so I doubt you could.) You can also do a 30 day risk-free trial, if you want to test one out.
They are a bit expensive, but you can at least get free shipping, normally $25(!!!) through affiliate codes like the one here: http://rawblends.com/vitamix-blender
Here is a link that might be useful: Free Shipping Coupon Code
I have used both the Vita-Mix and Waring MX1000 Pro, about 6 months ago I decided to purchase the Waring MX1000 Pro this blender in my opinion outworks the Vita-Mix. It has a 64 oz pitcher, big toggle switches and pulverizes any king of food that you put in it. I wrote a review about it if you are interested in the day to day use on the blender.
Here is a link that might be useful: Waring MX1000 Pro

Leicester Uni Study finds links between Maternal Smoking during Pregnancy and Antisocial Behaviour in Children
Smoking during pregnancythe period from conception to birth appears to be a prenatal risk factor associated with conduct problems in children, according to a study published by JAMA Psychiatry, but the reasons are less clear.
Maternal smoking during pregnancy has been known to be a risk factor for offspring mental health, including attention deficits and conduct problems. However, the new findings suggest that the link is more than just environmental.
Professor Gordon Harold and Dr. Darya Gaysina, of the University of Leicester, with colleagues in the United States and New Zealand, compared the relationship between maternal smoking during pregnancy and offspring conduct problems among children raised by genetically related mothers and genetically unrelated mothers.
According to the study results, there was a significant association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and offspring conduct problems observed among children raised by genetically related mothers and genetically unrelated mothers. Results from a meta-analysis affirmed this pattern of findings across pooled study samples.
"Our findings suggest an association between pregnancy smoking and child conduct problems that is unlikely to be fully explained by postnatal environmental factors (i.e., parenting practices) even when the postnatal passive genotype-environment correlation has been removed." The authors conclude, "The causal explanation for the association between smoking in pregnancy and offspring conduct problems is not known but may include genetic factors and other prenatal environmental hazards, including smoking itself."
'Conduct disorder' represents an issue of significant social, clinical, and practice concern, with evidence highlighting increasing rates of child conduct problems internationally. Maternal smoking during pregnancy is known to be a risk factor for offspring psychological problems, including attention deficits and conduct problems, the authors write in the study background.

We had a wonderful stay at Julie's home. The house is roomy, comfortable and clean. The host is very helpful, friendly and hospitable. Love the fresh bread in the morning. And the pool is a great bonus.
Our second stay with Julie was every bit as good as the first. Julie is a great hostess. She serves delicious breakfasts and is delightful to talk to. We would unhesitatingly recommend her.
Great host! Very good breakfast every morning and we were able to use the washer and dryer. We also had a parking spot that was very convenient. Very comfortable room and bathroom.
Julie was the perfect hostess for my husband and I. It was our first experience staying in someone's home. Her home was very clean, nicely decorated and had beautiful natural lighting. The comfortable bed was in a very large bedroom.There was ample room for us to put our things away. The attached barthoom was perfect for us, plenty of towels! The complex has a lovely pool and hot tub area which we enjoyed frequently. Every morning we had a lovely breakfast of fresh fruit and delicious home made treats! We felt very spoiled with the food we were served. She even packed us a breakfast to take with us on the morning we left to eat on the road. We highly recommend her home to you. By the end of the trip we had already made our minds up we would be back soon!
"Nicely appointed, clean and comfortable room. This home is in a very quiet neighborhood. Having fresh OJ and mixed fruit every morning along with pastries was wonderful. Even though my brother was unable to stay the last night there, but Julie still prepared a "sack breakfast" for his return journey. A very thoughtful gesture which did not go unappreciated." We would definitely want to stay with Julie when we are in town.
This is our first experience with Airbnb and we were pleasantly surprised. Julie was a lovely and accomodating hostess. Her room with en suite bath was comfortable and quiet. We slept very well. The morning breakfast and conversation made our stay so much more personal than a stay at a hotel. It was like staying with a good friend. It's also a very nice experience for dog lovers as Boo and Franklin kept us entertained and they fell in love with Bob. Thanks again, Julie. Bob and Camilla
We slept like babies after a long transatlantic flight! Very comfortable, very quiet room with its own bathroom. Julie served us a great breakfast with fresh fruit and delicious coffee. We liked the dogs and Julie is great fun. Julie and Mike are terrific hosts. We hope we can stay with them again when we return next year and we recommend it.
Julie was a great host! The room was lovely and comfortable, and Julie was really kind. She provided a GREAT breakfast on the first morning, including a gorgeous fruit salad, and sent us off the next morning with a brown bag breakfast (since we were leaving at the awful hour of 5:30 am). Her dogs were sweet and super friendly. We recommend Julie to anyone wanting a quiet, comfy place to stay in SoCal!
Julie, Michael, and two cute dogs were great. They are kind and sweet people. In the morning, she offered me coffee, grapes, apple, banana, and this huge muffin the size of Texas. You get a nice bedroom with a private bathroom -- located in a nice neighborhood just off the 405 Highway. Thanks Julie and Michael!

DFL Gov. Mark Dayton will be visiting Austin on Thursday as part of a statewide tour to promote his plan to require 50-foot buffer strips around the state's lakes, rivers and streams.
Dayton is slated to visit the Hormel Nature Center to pitch his proposal, which is aimed at improving the state's water quality. He's also planning to tout his plan in Worthington before heading to Austin.
The governor's visit comes as his plan is facing major resistance from farm groups and some state lawmakers. Austin DFL Sen. Dan Sparks said his office has been flooded with phone calls and emails from farmers upset with the governor's proposal. Sparks is chairman of the Senate Jobs, Agriculture and Rural Development Committee and said at this point, there are not enough votes on that committee to pass the governor's buffer proposal.
At this point, Sparks said the biggest concerns centers on the buffer zones applying to ditches. Farmers are also concerned they would be unable to use some of their farmland without any sort of reimbursement provided. Ultimately, Sparks said he is hoping that farm groups and the governor can work together to come up with some sort of compromise.
"We have to make sure (farmers) have some buy in and feel like they have a seat at the table," Sparks said.
The governor's plan has won the backing of the Land Stewardship Project, according to a story by Agri-News reporter Janet Kubat.
"We think the governor stepped up to the plate" and is providing bold leadership, said Paul Sobocinski, of Wabasso, a farmer and LSP organizer.

Disclosed embodiments relate generally to diode devices and more particularly to high-performance diode devices exhibiting favorable forward current characteristics.
Diodes are one of the most fundamental semiconductor elements or components. A diode usually allows current flow in one direction but not in another. A diode is constructed as a two-region device separated by a junction; however, various types of diodes which have different junction structures also exist. Two examples of common diode types include silicon-based doped p-n junction diodes and Schottky diodes.
Diodes have many applications and are frequently used in, for example, memory devices, logic circuits or solar cells, or may function as LEDs (light emitting diodes). Diode devices with high ON current and high ON/OFF current ratio (resulting in low leakage current) also have many applications, such as for example, as a select device in a memory element. Silicon-based junction diodes may provide high ON current and high ON/OFF current ratios, but the manufacturing process of conventional silicon-based junction diodes is much more complicated and requires higher processing temperatures than, for example, a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diode system. Unfortunately, known MIM diode systems are not able to meet the high forward current requirements of many applications.
Accordingly, there is a need and desire for a diode device that exhibits favorable forward current characteristics while also being easily manufactured at low temperatures (<500� C.).
In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which are shown by way of illustration specific embodiments that may be practiced. It should be understood that like reference numbers represent like elements throughout the drawings. These example embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice them. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized, and that structural, material, and electrical changes may be made, only some of which are discussed in detail below.
Disclosed embodiments relate to a diode device and methods of constructing and operating the same, wherein the diode exhibits high ON current as well as a high ON/OFF ratio. Disclosed embodiments achieve these characteristics by using a combination of the properties of low electric field turn-on and joule assisted self heating to build high forward currents at relatively low voltage values. The embodiments utilize a material that has a first characteristic allowing a first decrease in a resistivity of the material upon application of a low voltage and a second characteristic allowing a second decrease in the resistivity of the material in response to an increase in temperature of the material.
One disclosed embodiment is illustrated in
The above-described method is much simpler than the complicated steps required for forming, for example, a conventional silicon-based junction diode. Additionally, the manufacturing process of conventional silicon-based junction diodes requires higher processing temperatures than those of the disclose embodiments, which have a thermal budget of less than 500� C.
Conductive materials 15 and 25 may include any suitable conductive material, such as, for example, one or more of various metals, such as tantalum, platinum, tungsten, aluminum, copper, gold, nickel, titanium, molybdenum, etc., metal-containing compositions, such as metal nitrides, metal silicides (e.g., tungsten silicate or tantalum silicide, etc.), and conductively-doped semiconductor materials (for instance, conductively-doped silicon). Additionally, conductive materials 15 and 25 may be formed of the same material or of different materials.
Material 20 is selected such that under initial programming (off) conditions, current is not conducted from material 25 to material 15, but that under appropriate operating conditions, the material 20 undergoes a transition and becomes conductive. Appropriate materials selected for material 20, in accordance with disclosed embodiments, are those that operate in a fashion similar to the operation illustrated in the I-V curve of
Low electric field assisted metal-insulator transition occurs in materials whose resistance is changed when a voltage is applied to the material. While the voltage remains below a threshold voltage value (Vth), material 20 has a high resistivity. When the voltage reaches the threshold voltage value (Vth), however, material 20 quickly changes to a low resistivity. Joule heating assisted current increase occurs when, due to the temperature increase of the material resulting from the heat generated by the current flowing through the material, the resistivity of the material suddenly decreases, allowing a corresponding sudden increase in current flow.
The disclosed embodiments select materials for material 20 which embody both of these phenomena. As illustrated in the I-V curve of
As voltage continues to be applied, the temperature of material 20 will increase, due to the resistance of the material to the current flow. Once the material reaches a threshold temperature, the Joule heating assisted current increase will be seen, such as that shown in the steep increase 35 in the current flow. In disclosed embodiments, the Joule heating assisted current increase preferably occurs at voltage values of approximately 4.0V or below (e.g., between approximately 1.5V and approximately 4.0V).
According to disclosed embodiments, this combination of multiple steep current increases allows very high forward current drive at a relatively low voltage and a relatively low current at voltages below the threshold voltage, resulting in a high performance diode device having an ultra high forward current density (e.g., between approximately 1�106 A/cm2 to approximately 1�108 A/cm2, and preferably on the order of 1�107 A/cm2) and a very high ON/OFF current ratio. Additionally, the I-V curves of the diode of the disclosed embodiments are non-ohmic and the change in the resistivity over the curve can be several orders of magnitude (>105).
In order to achieve such a beneficial result from the low electric field assisted metal-insulator transition and Joule heating assisted current increase, material 20 must be chosen to be compatible with each of these effects. Some materials found to be particularly suited for such an application include, for example, vanadium oxides, particularly VO2, aluminum-doped vanadium oxides, titanium-doped vanadium oxides, or rare earth manganates (Ln(1-x)AxMnO3, Ln=rare earth, A=alkaline earth), particularly Sr(1-x)LaxMnO3, where 0.0≦x≦0.4.
In another embodiment, a heating element may additionally be included in the diode in order to assist with the temperature increase, thus more easily reaching the temperature at which the current increases for the second time. This is illustrated in the diode 10 b of
Diodes of the disclosed embodiments may be used in any application requiring a diode, and in particular one in which high forward current density is desired. Examples include memory applications, logic circuits, solar cells, or LEDs. One example application particularly suited to the diodes of the disclosed embodiments is a select device for a cross point memory device 100, as illustrated for example in
The diode 10 a, 10 b and/or memory array 100 may be fabricated as part of an integrated circuit. The corresponding integrated circuit may be utilized in a processor system. For example,
In the case of a computer system, the processor system 700 may include peripheral devices such as removable media devices 750 (e.g., CD-ROM drive or DVD drive) which communicate with CPU 710 over the bus 790. Memory device 702 can be constructed as an integrated circuit, which includes one or more memory arrays 100 and/or diodes 10 a, 10 b. If desired, the memory device 702 may be combined with the processor, for example CPU 710, as a single integrated circuit.
The above description and drawings should only be considered illustrative of exemplary embodiments that achieve the features and advantages described herein. Modification and substitutions to specific process conditions and structures can be made. Accordingly, the claimed invention is not to be considered as being limited by the foregoing description and drawings, but is only limited by the scope of the appended claims.

This is the quietest opener we have ever had. It was easy to install and program. All the parts were there and the instructions were easy to follow.

We had a chain door opener before buying this and it was very noisy. Can't say the new belt driven one cut out all the noise, but it is quieter. I like the light that comes on when you enter the garage from outside or inside. The keypad helps make my life easier as I don't have to run into the house to get to the garage now. My nephew installed it so I can't speak of the ease of installing. It did take him most of the day. I've been waiting a long time for this and I am very happy I finally got what I wanted.

This was my first complete opener install.Replaced parts on my old craftsman 1/3 hp a couple of times.The old one was over 28 years old,still worked,but was making too much noise and thought I might as well replace it this time.Took a couple of hours to install new one.I had to run new wire for everything.Instructions were good and the opener does work for the uplink on my 2012 Chevy Captiva.Real quiet compared to the old chain drive.I have a detached garage,but still wanted belt drive.Everything works great so far.Only one month old.

It was very easy to install. The instructions were clear and concise. It helped that I was replacing my old craftsman garage door opener. I like the smooth belt action compared to my former chain driven craftsman. The only thing I do not like is the fact that I had to order a rail extension for the device. Having to pay potentially $47 more for something that should have already come with the product is a little disappointing. If your door is over 7 ft. you will have to order the rail extension. I am sure at least 90% of garage doors are over 7 ft, at least in Las Vegas they are. That was the only downside.

Very quiet and smooth. This is the 4th one I have purchased in 15 years and they all worked well. One at another home, 2 when I moved into my current home and 1 replacement. They seem to work well for 10+ years of service.

I just replaced my 12 years old chain garage door opener (Chamberlain LiftMaster 1/3HP) with this product and the quality is amazing. Very quiet, smoother mecanism and great features !
Hackensack, NJ
via sears.com
Took a while to replace the old craftsman since the mountings are different. On when closing, it jerks a few time before smooth out. The remote is very sensitive and raise above the case so it is very trigger happy. Disappointing that I have to spend another $30 to purchase an "extender". The description stated will work with homelink and nothing about older vehicles so it will not work with my car (2007). The replaced opener was working fine with homelink. I will report this as false advertisement.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
It's D-pressing: O'Shea's main beef is faulty tackling
It's become an all-too common sight over the last little while. And it must drive Mike O'Shea, Kyle Walters, Gary Etcheverry and anybody with their fingerprints on the Winnipeg Blue Bomber defence absolutely bonkers.
If it's not Jerome Messam of the Saskatchewan Roughriders last Thursday, it's Curtis Steele of the Toronto Argonauts a couple of nights ago, absolutely plowing through the heart of the Bombers defence with a number of would-be tacklers desperately clinging to the ball carriers like barnacles on a boat.
"We didn't tackle as well as we needed to on defence," said head coach O'Shea on his weekly radio show on CJOB Wednesday night (the team is not available to the rest of the media after a game).
"It's more focus than anything. Watching the tape you still see the defensive players really rallying to the ball, they're sprinting to the ball on every play, it's just the initial contact wasn't as solid as we needed.
"Credit to Toronto, too," added O'Shea. "When I watched the film they were very physical, their offence especially. To a man their receivers were blocking downfield on every run play... they were getting after it and we did not match their intensity."
Interestingly, however, where the uniqueness and innovation behind Etcheverry's defence was drawing rave reviews in the team's 5-1 start, it is now being questioned -- at least, outside of the club -- in the wake of two consecutive losses, the latest Tuesday's 38-21 setback in Toronto.
The Argos rushed for 174 yards against the Bombers, averaging 6.96 yards per carry. This, after the Riders jammed the ball down Winnipeg's throat last Thursday, finishing with 186 yards along the ground.
Just to hammer home how the Bombers look like they'd be hard-pressed to bring down a crawling baby these days, consider this:
- In the last two games Winnipeg has surrendered 360 yards along the ground -- 180 per game -- and an average of 6.67 yards every carry.
- Overall, Winnipeg's defence has already surrendered 929 yards in eight games this year and is giving up 5.66 rushing yards per carry.
All that, in basic terms, means the Bombers are not only getting pushed around at the line of scrimmage but have been inconsistent in their tackling. It means offences can grind for first downs or are often in second-and-short situations.
For the record, Etcheverry's defences have been sound enough to help lead the Riders to a Grey Cup berth in 2009 and 2010, despite having finished at or near the bottom against the run. The Bombers aren't unlike most other teams that have adopted the approach of converting defensive backs to linebackers to stop prolific passers but, with their emphasis on speed over size, do seem small at the position.
E.J. Kuale, who finished the game with his shoulder in a sling and is iffy for next week's game against Montreal, is the Bombers heaviest linebacker at 229. Ian Wild goes at 6-0, 208, but Teague Sherman, Derek Jones, Desia Dunn and Dan Unamba -- all of whom took turns at linebacker -- are all under 200 pounds.
By comparison, consider the Calgary Stampeders -- who entered Week 8 No. 1 against the run -- feature Deron Mayo (5-11, 225), Juwan Simpson (6-3, 234) and Keon Raymond (5-10, 198) at linebacker.
(Worth noting: the last Bomber championship team, in 1990, featured Greg Battle, 6-1, 225; Tyrone Jones, 6-0, 235; Paul Randolph 6-1, 225 and James West 6-2, 225 at linebacker).
All of this isn't to suggest the Bomber defensive line escapes blame, especially with them being the first line of defence and Bryant Turner Jr., Zach Anderson, Jake Thomas, Jason Vega and Greg Peach all need to be better.
There's also no question playing two games in six days made fatigue a factor. But the sloppy tackling was also an issue in the Rider game and in the loss to the Edmonton Eskimos on July 17 -- not coincidentally, the three contests in which the Bombers surrendered the most rushing yards this season.
Not surprisingly, O'Shea said Wednesday he has no issue with Etcheverry's scheme, nor the size of the defensive personnel. His beef, instead, is with the very basics of tackling.
"We do employ really only one large man in there in Zach Anderson (6-3, 270)," O'Shea told CJOB. "Everybody else is a different-size guy. We rely on speed and movement of the defence. I really think whereas the (media) might say they run an unsound defensive system, it's not that at all. As we break down film, we see where players maybe make a mistake. We see that the general concept of soundness and covering gaps is pretty good.
"The game prior, Saskatchewan employed the bigger running back (Messam) and he got moving and gained some yards pushing the pile. It was different than this last game. This last game we just missed some tackles."

Ok, so I admit to being a bit lazy. Part of it was due to depression. Anyways, got the 4th thing added. Winter. Even though it ain't perfect it still has a certain charm to it. I call it a sketch cause I know I can do better, I want to do better.
Also, as a little bonus I uploaded another drawing I did of Rune. I did it on MSP and added an effect to highlight it. Must get better at making my own hero idea also. I hope y'all like them. Thank you for visiting my little block here on NG, and thank you if you're a fan! <3

One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching.
One forgets too easily the difference between a man and his image, and that there is none between the sound of his voice on the screen and in real life.
One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation.
One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organizations do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team. The first requisite is life, always.
One hundred years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, how big my house was, or what kind of car I drove. But the world may be a little better, because I was important in the life of a child.
One is still what one is going to cease to be and already what one is going to become. One lives one's death, one dies one's life.
One life - a little gleam of Time between two Eternities.
One man envies the success in life of another, and hates him in secret; nor is he willing to give him good advice when he is consulted, except it be by some wonderful effort of good feeling, and there are, alas, few such men in the world. A real friend, on the other hand, exults in his friend?s happiness, rejoices in all his joys, and is ready to afford him the best advice.
One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 days, but it is the man who has it for 30 years who makes a success of his life.
One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.
One must know oneself, if this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.
One must marry one's feelings to one's beliefs and ideas. That is probably the only way to achieve a measure of harmony in one's life.
One must never lose time in vainly regretting the past or in complaining against the changes which cause us discomfort, for change is the essence of life.
One must not lose desires. They are mighty stimulants to creativeness, to love, and to long life.
One of the fundamental reasons why so many doctors become cynical and disillusioned is precisely because, when the abstract idealism has worn thin, they are uncertain about the value of the actual lives of the patients they are treating. This is not because they are callous or personally inhuman: it is because they live in and accept a society which is incapable of knowing what a human life is worth.
One of the grotesqueries of present-day American life is the amount of reasoning that goes into displaying the wisdom secreted in bad movies while proving that modern art is meaningless. They have put into practice the notion that a bad art work cleverly interpreted according to some obscure Method is more rewarding than a masterpiece wrapped in silence.
One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.
One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year.
One of the most appalling comments on our present way of life is that half of all the beds in our hospitals are reserved for patients with nervous and mental troubles, patients who have collapsed under the crushing burden of accumulated yesterdays and fearful tomorrows. Yet a vast majority of those people would be walking the streets today, leading happy, useful lives, if they had only heeded the words of Jesus: "Have no anxiety about the morrow"; or the words of Sir William Osler; "Live in day-tight compartments.
One of the most important things one can do in life is to brutally question every single thing you are taught.
One of the most tragicomic things in life is that when a man makes an imaginary thing – such as a religion – as his own flag and carries it all his life and even dies for it! An intelligent man has only one flag: Flag of reason and science!
One of the oldest and well-accepted myths, which is the greatest enemy of truth in my view, is that one simply cannot maintain the best quality of life without consuming hazardous, toxic, and depleting substances. This myth has been persistent but unrealistic. Today, Innovative Scientists and Brilliant Green Chemistry Followers are defying this ancient myth of trade-off and "quid pro quo" - by apprpriately designing their chemical reactions, and selecting non-hazardous alternatives to otherwise toxic reagents. That's the way to to go! We must think Green, to keep our Beautiful Mother Earth Fresh and Clean - at all times.
One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats.
One of the secrets of life is to make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks.
One of the simple but genuine pleasures in life is getting up in the morning and hurrying to a mousetrap you set the night before.
